In New Hampshire this week to drum up support for his promised presidential run, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez offered up his personal cellphone number — and everyone ate it up.
“I’m going to do something radical,” Suarez said, speaking at an event at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, NH. “I did this in Iowa and people kind of freaked out. The cameras are on, so it may be broadcast, so it’s even more radical. But I’m going to give you my personal cellphone number.”
He told reporters there that it is that kind of personal access that will help bridge the political and social division the country has seen in the last few years.
Well, here’s the spoiler: Suarez doesn’t have to pick up. And he won’t if he doesn’t like what you have to say.

Ladra is tired of calling Baby X and leaving a messages or texting him and getting zero response in return. In fact, it’s been exactly since March 27 of 2021 since Mayor Suarez last responded to a text. Political Cortadito wanted to post something about an upcoming three-day trade mission to Qatar — he must have loved it because he went back with David Beckham last year for the World Cup — and asked for a few minutes of his time. He said his spokeswoman, Soledad Cedro, would call me and schedule something.
She never did.
Suarez used to talk to Ladra all the time, going back to when he was a commissioner. He was happy to be quoted when he was fighting with Commissioner Joe “Pollo” Carollo — or, rather, begging to be respected — and trying to get City Attorney Victoria “Tricky Vicky” Mendez fired. Ah, the good ol’ days.

But somewhere around when former Chief Art Acevedo was being handed his nalgas by the city commission, Baby X — who brought the “Michael Jordan of police chiefs” to Miami from Houston with a lot of brouhaha — lost his spine.
But, hey, if he’s going to offer his phone number to the Granite Staters, the people of Miami that he is supposed to be serving now should have it, too. After all, he wants to be accessible.
So, call Mayor Francis Suarez at 305-992-3342 and tell him what he should be doing in Miami.
