Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez was removed from office in a recall election this week. A few years ago, GOVERNING's Richard Greene and Katherine Barrett interviewed Alvarez on what it's like to be Miami's first strong mayor.
Check out their interview with Alvarez and county manager George Burgess.
And, of course, Governing.com will have full coverage of today's recall election of the mayor.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
