Gov. Rick Scott appointed her to the bench “She loves this country, like many of us who are Cuban-American and fled oppression. We understand that the rule of law is a fragile thing,” he said.Perez met Fajardo when she succeeded him as president of the Miami Lawyers chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative and libertarian group. She impressed him by drawing lots of new members and quickly mastering new skills, and she was never afraid to ask questions.“She has the kind of personality that is very positive, outgoing, and she has a great sense of humor, doesn't take herself too seriously—in a good sense, so that people feel very comfortable working with her,” he said. “You don't want an arrogant U.S. attorney.”Fajardo's name was issued by the White House on Thursday in the president's 14th wave of top prosecutors, judges and marshals.
