Miami, FL.- José Javier Rodríguez, candidate for Florida Attorney General, released the following statement on an opinion issued today by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier regarding laws related to race-based state action:
“It is troubling that our Florida Attorney General has chosen, of all days, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to announce an effort to undermine civil rights. Equal protection has never meant ignoring discrimination, it means confronting it. This kind of politicization of the Attorney General’s office is exactly what Floridians are tired of.”
