Former State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez, who everyone knows really wants to be Hialeah mayor more than anything else in the world, seems to be riding this city election out on the heels of last year’s loss in the property appraiser’s race. But he’s not staying out completely. And neither is former Mayor Julio Robaina, who […]
The Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust found Wednesday that there was no probable cause to a complaint against former State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez for violating the Mandatory Fair Campaign Practices Ordinance when he ran for Miami-Dade Property Appraiser last year. Filed by then-candidate Pedro Garcia, who won the election Nov. 4, the complaint […]
State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez is going to have to look for a real job. Gonzalez, who is termed out this year, lost to former Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia in the runoff Tuesday — even though he spent more than twice as much as Garcia. Guess voters could see right through the slick career politician’s […]
In defense of an ethics complaint against him for a TV attack ad in his campaign for Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez — who must know himself that he is losing the race — said, en alta voz y con orgullo in a TV news interview that he can lie because, well, it […]
He must be desperate. And it’s not like State Rep. Eddy “Here Comes Hialeah” Gonzalez can actually run on his own track record in his bold (read: WTF?) attempt to become the most unqualified ever Miami-Dade Property Appraiser. So Gonzalez — who came in 10 points behind former Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia in the August primary — […]
State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez has scored the Holy Grail of 305 endorsements in his bid for Miami-Dade Property Appraiser — the backing of none other than Sen. Marco Rubio, a one-time VP hopeful. In what may also be the first time a U.S. Senator stumps for a Property Appraiser candidate, several people told Ladra they had gotten […]
One of the few contested Florida House primaries in Miami-Dade went, as expected, to the anointed heir of the seat vacated by termed out State Rep. Eddy “Here Comes Hialeah” Gonzalez, and with a comfortable lead (read: landslide) of 60% to 40%. But it’s a five point game, not a whooping, if you only look at […]
This is not the way it was supposed to happen. As expected, State Rep. Eddy “Here Comes Hialeah” Gonzalez heads into the runoff for the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser’s position after Tuesday’s election, but he is going into Round 2 with the second highest number of votes, trailing former Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia by a whole […]
UPDATED: The number of absentee ballots returned so far across Miami-Dade for this Aug. 26 primary is 77,500, far less than the 210,000 ABs that have been requested as of Thursday, according to the Miami-Dade Elections Department. But it is almost four times as many votes as in-person ballots cast by early voters. And many think […]
Homestead absentee ballot man and convicted felon Tim Milton is back in the shady election business with a slate card that looks like an authentic endorsement from an actual group. But it’s all fake and is likely campaign propaganda disguised as “third party validation” vís-a-vís a PAC called People’s Choice for Florida and Milton, who […]
