Finally, there have been some dates released for the much anticipated debates between Democrat incumbent Congressman Joe Garcia and Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo, the Republican nominee who wants to unseat him. But not one of the public English-language debates scheduled are in Miami-Dade. And Ladra doesn’t really feel like driving two hours […]
There is no debate date set yet between the two candidates in what has been deemed as one of the most closely watched and flippable congressional races in the country, but the themes in Florida’s District 26 are already going from local to national. It’s not like challenger Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo is going to completely drop […]
The news really isn’t that this poll done by congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo showed the Miami-Dade School Board member up by four points against Democrat U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia in what was supposed to be (more of that later) a high-profile national race. The news is really that it was just four points. Ladra […]
U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, who is facing one of the most closely watched re-election battles in the country, will open a campaign office in the Keys Sunday, 24 hours after he opened the one in the Hammocks neighborhood of West Kendall — his fifth and sixth in the District, which stretches from Calle Ocho or […]
You know how they always say your own words can come back to haunt you? Well, that would be Miami-Dade School Board Member and congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo today, after he sees the new 30-second video ad the Florida Democratic Party released this morning with his own bad choice of words almost on an […]
Someone finally took him up on his dare. Miami-Dade School Board Member and congressional candidate Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo has told everyone repeatedly that he will not disclose his client list for his lobbying firm, Capitol Gains, because he doesn’t have to. See? He put the company in his wife’s name so he could get out […]
Talk about good timing: The first Spanish language radio ad for Democrat Congressman Joe Garcia started to air this morning — same day newspapers arrived at homes with the front page headlines: “Lawmakers campaign aides called to testify,” it says in English. “FBI closes in on Joe Garcia’s aides,” reads the headline in Spanish. The […]
As if Congressman Joe Garcia wasn’t already in enough trouble. Facing a well-funded and heated challenge in what national observers call one of the most flippable races in the country, Garcia — who has been smeared with an absentee ballot fraud scandal in his 2012 victory over former Rep. David “Nine Lives” Rivera — doesn’t […]
Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo may not want to disclose who the clients of his lobbying firm are, but public records may shed a little light on at least some of his business partners throughout the years. His company, Capitol Gains — the one he has listed under his wife’s name — also […]
Maybe Congressman Joe Garcia (D-Miami) can’t come up with anything else on his own. Maybe this is a way to engage his constituency in the usually droll work of drafting legislation. Maybe he really thinks someone in District 26 is a genius with the answer. Maybe it’s just a social media gimmick two months before […]
