The election was held coincidingly with a vote that also saw Miami-Dade county commissioner Natacha Seihjas also successfully recalled.

In terms of population, the county was considered the largest United States municipality to recall its executive. The county was also, at the time, the second-largest recall vote of any kind in the United States, after the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election.

Months after the vote, a special election was held to fill the vacant mayoralty.
