Assistant Director of Investigative Services Rosanna “Rosie” Cordero-Stutz, the highest ranking county police officer on the ballot, just got the mother of all endorsements for any Republican: former President Donald Trump. Joe Sanchez, the presumed GOP frontrunner, must be crying in his cafecito. […]
A forum for the candidates is scheduled Wednesday Two of the 17 candidates for Miami-Dade sheriff — who have all been invited to a forum on Wednesday — have out-fundraised the rest by leaps and bounds, and they are exactly who everyone expected to lead the money race, which is likely to be in the […]
