Hialeah Council fails to fill vacant seat after deadlock on 21-year-old candidate
Briefly

Hialeah is currently experiencing a leadership crisis following the resignation of former Mayor Esteban Bovo Jr. and the selection of Jacqueline Garcia-Roves as interim mayor. The city council has struggled to appoint a new member to fill Garcia-Roves' previous seat, resulting in a three-three deadlock after votes for William Marrero, a former aide. This stalemate risks the efficiency of council operations for up to six months, causing major concerns voiced by council members about the uncertainty surrounding future leadership and decision-making for the city.
We have 11 candidates-is it really Willie or no one?
It puts everybody in uncertainty
Garcia-Roves responded that she did not have to make that decision immediately.
The council faced the challenge of operating up to six months with just six council members.
