Warren is vying for a judgeship in the 7th judicial circuit that encompasses Volusia, Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties in a three-way race that will first test his candidacy with the Aug. 26 primary.

Warren, 39, is the son of former Volusia County Judge Stasia Warren and the late Dan Warren, who was the circuit's state attorney during the turbulent 1960s, and who later marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in St. Augustine to desegregate the beaches.
The younger Warren, a former prosecutor and law clerk for the 5th District Court of Appeal under Judge Judge Wendy Berger, finished second in the 2012 primary in a field of five, before coming up short in the runoff to Christopher Kelly.
Warren has used the experience of that campaign to springboard his candidacy in this election cycle."I'm excited about the prospect of following in my parents foot steps, especially my mom who proudly served this community," Warren said. "The courtroom was my second home with her as a prosecutor and later on the bench."
