There will be at least three more forums or debates for candidates this week. Ladra is going to have to find a way to be in two places at one time Monday when Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell faces off with challenger Daniella Levine Cava a second time. The debate sponsored by the Rotary Club of […]
The long-anticipated showdown between Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell and challenger Daniella Levine Cava came and went Monday night as each worked hard to turn the heat up on the other at the Kendall Federation of Homeowners debate. Levine hit Bell on the recent service cuts in police and libraries and the battle to balance the […]
Call me cynical. But doesn’t it seem like Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell — who is fighting for her political life in the most heated commission race this year — has had a slew of publicity stunt events in recent days? There’s no doubt that Bell is active year round, taking part in community events, working at […]
Miami-Dade Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell, in the race for her political life, raked in nearly $84,000 in campaign contributions in June — the most she’s gotten in a single 30-day period since February, the biggest month in her re-election bid, when she collected $133,000.

While it is not a partisan race, it is no secret that the Miami Dade Democratic Party is behind Daniella Levine Cava and her bid to unseat Miami-Dade Commissioner Lynda Bell, a diehard, right-to-life Republican. Dade Dems even released a web video on Thursday that accuses Bell of wanting to sweep arsenic at a school site under […]
The email is almost breathless. “I’m not sure if you heard the news, but our campaign is under attack and we need your support,” read the email addressed to me from Miami-Dade Commission candidate Daniella Levine Cava. “Rather than starting with a positive message, our opponent has begun airing television commercials attacking me directly.” Levine […]
County commission candidate Daniella Levine Cava submitted just over 1,200 signed petitions Thursday to qualify for the race in District 10 against Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell — more than the 1,100 she needed to get her name on the ballot. She also announced Thursday that she had raised an additional $54,000 in March, bringing its total raised […]
Daniella Levine Cava is on fire.

Last week, she released her first web video and on Saturday she opened her campaign office in […]
