Don’t blame Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban “Stevie” Bovo for his brother’s racist and fascist rants on social media. He is not his brother’s keeper. In response to a New times story, Bovo has said he did not know about Enrique “Henry” Bovo‘s posts on a Facebook page he administered which described itself as a “non racial […]
In phone calls and text messages, Miami-Dade voters got a survey over the weekend that measured our value on issues and asked who would get our vote if the election was today. Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Esteban Bovo or Daniella Levine Cava. And it seems, just from the questions and descriptions of the candidates, […]
Esteban Bovo behind with $65K since Election Day Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban Bovo may have headed into the mayoral runoff with a 2,000-vote edge over Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. But Levine Cava is killing him in fundraising since. DLC collected more than $1 million between her campaign account and her political action committee, Our Democracy, in […]
As if we needed proof that the Miami-Dade mayoral race has become a partisan war, the Miami-Dade Dade Democratic Party, for the very first time, has paid to produce and air a television ad Monday for a candidate — for Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. Sure, they’ve helped in the past but in the background, but […]

A group of transit-minded activists and volunteers have compiled the track records and positions on transportation issues for six of the seven Miami-Dade mayoral candidates, and former Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas — who created the half-penny sales tax fund that was supposed to expand transit but got misused instead — gets the highest points on […]
There are seven candidates in the Miami-Dade mayor’s race, but, really, we only count four. Three of them are not viable and won’t make much of a dent in the first round Aug. 18. Of the four who are left, two have been coming out on the top of most polls and are expected to […]
Miami-Dade Commissioner Jean Monestime dropped out of the county mayoral race two months ago — and now he backs one of three colleagues running for the seat, which is vacated by Mayor Carlos Gimenez due to term limitations. “I have served with Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava for years and she has earned my trust and respect,” Monestime […]
The negative political ads and “anonymous” attack mailers have come out in the 2020 mayoral race, so far against two of the candidates — Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava and former mayor Alex Penelas. Over the last week, some voters have received one or all of three mailers — count ’em, three in less than a week — attacking Levine […]
