The Dominican House of Studies in DC has a bust of Savanarola in one the main halls. I’m guessing there on the “For” side.

The Wiki states that

In the twentieth century, a movement for the canonization of Frà Savonarola began to develop within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly among Dominicans, with many judging his excommunication and execution to have been unjust. His potential beatification and canonization is opposed by many Jesuits, who consider Savonarola’s (secular) conflict with the papacy to have been an intolerable crime.
