GrayRobinson Attorney Len Collins triumphed on behalf of a political committee seeking to recall Mayor Michele Miller in Mexico Beach, Fla. Len assisted the committee in preparing ballot language that passed legal muster to place the recall question on the ballot, which initiated swift legal action from Mayor Miller to halt the impending election. However, the GrayRobinson team diligently advocated for the committee, prepared their defense, and addressed the mayor’s claims regarding the validity of the recall petition, and, despite the judge indicating a postponement of judgment until after the election, the proceedings pressed forward. On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the residents of Mexico Beach cast their votes with a resounding 63% to 37% majority in favor of recalling the mayor, and the judge issued his order dismissing the complaint, effectively removing the mayor.
