In the two weeks after the city of Miami scheduled a special election to fill the commission vacancy caused by the death of Manolo Reyes, the two candidates have raised almost $100,000 combined. And local favorite Jose Regalado — of those Regalados — who quit his job as assistant building director to run for office at […]
Miami Commission candidate Ralph Rosado — who is running in the special election June 3 to replace the late commissioner Manolo Reyes — may be a habitual liar. Last week, Rosado blatantly told Ladra that Commissioner Joe Carollo was not at the park with him, directing his campaign video, on Thursday. But there is a candid […]
In the race to replace the late Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes in District 4, Ralph Rosado has Joe Carollo on his side and Jose Regalado has Chacha Reyes, the late commissioner’s widow on his. It’s no contest. The voice of Chacha Reyes is on the radio practically every hour in Spanish, urging voters to support […]
Ralph Rosado, an urban planning consultant and longtime Miami resident who is running in the special election next month in District 4 to replace Manolo Reyes — who died unexpectedly at 80 after having a health setback — was spotted filming a campaign video at Douglas Park Thursday afternoon. Also spotted: Commissioner Joe Carollo, acting […]
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 […]
