In August, after the jail Fauci tweet caused a public outcry, Miami-Dade Democratic Party chair Steve Simeonidis threatened to initiate a recall effort to unseat Arriola.
Now, months later amid another social-media scandal, Simeonidis and other members of the local Democratic Party are once again calling for the removal of Arriola, a registered Democrat who serves in a nonpartisan seat on the Miami Beach City Commission. We re seriously considering moving forward with a recall effort, Simeonidis tells
New Times. On a number of different levels, he has just been absolutely disastrous for the people of Miami Beach, and those residents deserve far better representation than he can offer them.
