Circuit Judge Amy Steele Donner today granted a motion requested by “Abre Los Brazos”, a political action committee created to help defend Miami-Dade County Commissioner Natacha Seijas from recall. The motion is for temporary injunction and is scheduled to be heard in February 7. If Commissioner Seijas is successful she will most likely be able to separate herself from the ballot that has her in conjunction with the unpopular County Mayor Carlos Alvarez. Many political pundits has asked “would you want to be on the ballot with the Mayor if you where her”? Many County insiders argue that for Commissioner Seijas to have a fighting chance at survival she must not be on the same ballot as Mayor Alvarez. However, this begs the question as to Commissioner Seijas own popularity within her district. This is not the first time that she has faced recall but it may be the last. As time continues to tick voters become more agitated with the process of the recall. While the Commissioner has legal rights to challenge, voters view this as nothing more than an attempt to hold on to power.
