Miami-Dade Judicial Election Results

Thursday 28 Aug 2014

 

The Miami Herald reports that on Tuesday, voters elected Miami assistant city attorney Veronica Diaz to the judicial bench, while two of four incumbent judges lost their seats to upstart challengers and one may be headed to a run-off race.  

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Fleur Lobree lost her second judicial election – this time to defense lawyer Mavel Ruiz. And County Judge Nuria Saenz, criticized because of her support from a big-spending auto insurance company, lost to personal injury attorney Victoria Ferrer.

Current County Judge Jacqueline Schwartz led all votes in her three-way race, but as of late Tuesday night, had yet to crack the 50-percent barrier. That means she could be heading to a November runoff against former Miami-Dade Police Maj. Frank Bocanegra.
