Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo is having a Mother’s Day event this Friday — but it’s not in his district for his own constituents. It’s in District 4, where there is a special election next month to fill the vacancy caused when Manolo Reyes died. Ya think Crazy Joe could be thinking to take D4 candidate […]
It’s in their DNA. Jose Regalado, the son of former Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, who is now the Miami-Dade property appraiser, and brother of Miami-Dade Commissioner Raquel Regalado, a former school board member, resigned from his job as the assistant building director with the city of Miami Monday to run for commission in District 4, where there […]
Flowers sat on the dais Thursday in the space where Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes usually sat as his colleagues voted to hold a special election June 3 to replace him. The 80-year-old District 4 commissioner died last week after being hospitalized. There was a lovely public tribute Wednesday in front of City Hall before he […]
There’s not a lot of surprise in the Miami election that ended Tuesday. Everybody knew we would have Mayor Francis “The Future” Suarez in charge with some ridiculous support against two nobodies (86%) and that there would be a runoff in the race for District 3 to replace him between former Mayor Joe Carollo and someone […]
A judge last week dismissed a motion by a Miami City Commission candidate who thought her name should be first on the ballot and wanted the election delayed so that new ballots could be printed. The frivolous lawsuit isn’t the only time that Denise Galvez Turros has been in court. But it’s the only time […]

Now that the mayoral election next month is all but a technicality, the real question is who Commissioner Francis Suarez, our next city of Miami mayor, wants to have serve on the dais with him. He’s been non-commmital because he wanted to focus on his own race. But now that he’s got no opposition, not […]
A no-chance Miami commission candidate at the rock bottom of all the polls wants a judge to toss out the ballots that have been cast so far and reprint them, claiming discrimination as a female and as a Hispanic because her name was put last instead of first. Denise Galvez, who is now suddenly calling […]
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 […]
