Vote NO - do NOT retain Carlos Muniz!

Here's why: In Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida v. State of Florida (April 2024), Muniz joined the 6-1 majority that overturned decades of Florida precedent, ruling that the state constitution’s right to privacy no longer protects abortion rights. The ruling allowed Florida’s 15-week abortion ban to remain in effect and paved the way for its 6-week ban.

As Chief Justice, he wrote the majority opinion upholding Gov. Ron DeSantis’s congressional map, which eliminated a former Black-performing district in North Florida (Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute v. Byrd, July 2025). The decision was widely viewed as a major victory for DeSantis and significantly affected Florida’s congressional districts.
