Miami Commissioner Ken Russell may finally have a serious challenge: Jim Fried, a radio show host for 10 years and the uncle of Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikky Fried, filed paperwork last week to run in District 2. Another candidate, Javier Gonzalez, has been in the race since December. But he’s been running since 2015, when he […]
Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who is running for mayor and unveiled her first TV campaign commercial during the first Democratic presidential debate in Miami last month, was not the only local candidate to take advantage of the huge audience. Another local candidate also aired the first ad of his campaign during the debate. No, […]
Former State Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla , now a city of Miami commission candidate, had his second best fund raising month in June, with more than $50,000 in additional contributions. That brings his total to just over a quarter million dollars, according to the latest campaign finance report. This would be The Dean’s fourth […]
With little more than two months to go before the qualifying deadline, Miami City Commissioners Manolo Reyes and Ken Russell have no real challenge in their respective districts. But each has raised a ton of money. Por si las moscas. Reyes has raised almost a quarter million dollars and Russell has raised more than $350K, […]
Don’t think that former Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla is not a true threat in the Miami District 1 race this year. While some think this three-time loser is unelectable, it’s best not to underestimate The Dean. Especially when he is raising more campaign money than anybody else.

Ya era hora. It looks like this might be Manolo Reyes‘ year after all. Every poll says so. Even Ralph Rosado‘s poll. These two guys have been running for Miami City Commission forever — or at least since when they both thought they would be on the 2013 ballot for District 4 before Commissioner Francis […]
Miami City Commission candidate Ralph Rosado sounds like an incumbent on the most recent mailer that arrived in some Miami voters’ homes Wednesday. “Let’s talk about crime and it’s prevention,” it says on the front. “I have worked to guarantee that our police department can count on the sufficient number of police officers to keep us […]
After having been part of the 2016 presidential campaign, Latinas For Trump co-founder Denise Galvez, a Miami mom with a boutique marketing shop, wants to run for Miami city commission. Galvez filed paperwork earlier this month indicating she intends to run as Denise Galvez Turros in District 4, which is the seat Commissioner Francis Suarez […]
So I guess Pedro Diaz is going to have to do another online poll. No sooner had Ladra hit publish on the screen to post the story about the growing possibilities in the District 3 Miami Commission race — and the new threat of Alex Diaz de la Portilla spoiling it for everybody else — […]
The Miami Police union has endorsed Teresa Sarnoff, wife of Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, in the upcoming election to replace him. That’s not so surprising since Sarnoff last year approved raises, some as high as $10,000 more a year. What is a surprise is that they would be so obvious about the quid pro quo, giving […]
