State lawmakers almost never buck the governor on suspensions.

Andrew Warren will need to defy decades of history.

Since 1999, out of the 166 suspensions recorded in Fla. Senate records...

... the official lost their job without a vote 97 times.

... the Senate upheld the suspension 54 times.

... a governor reinstated the official 11 times.

... the Senate overturned the suspension only once.

Three suspensions by Gov. DeSantis, including Warren, are still pending.

In 2015, the Senate reinstated Shawn Leigh Rowland, a Brevard County notary public and the only suspended official in the time period to regain their job in a Senate hearing.
