Two different mailers for Andrew Korge arrived in mailboxes Monday, 
a day before the absentee ballots are mailed in Miami-Dade: One was positive and one was negative.
Way negative.
Korge, challenging Sen. Dwight Bullard in the Democratic primary in District 40, basically says Bullard is untrustworthy and living off his campaign funds. The mailer also brings up Bullard’s multiple campaign violations and fines, including a $5,000 fine from May, which, the piece adds, the senator has not paid. It says he has a “nonstop disregard for campaign laws.”
“Bullard’s consulting firm was paid $19,000 from his own campaign,” the mailer states in a series of bullets marked with currency bills. “Bullard’s campaign made more than $14,000 improper petty cash withdrawals.”
The mailer also says that Bullard used his campaign to buy more than 
$1,500 in personal clothing and over $7,600 in food and drink at restaurant and bars, including Hooters and Wet Willies.
That’s something that people have known for a while and it’s something that is not singular to Bullard — or Democrats. Just take alook at State Rep. Frank Artiles‘ reports.
But as far as negative mailers go, this one — with carefully positioned photos of Bullard and flying 100 dollar bills all over — is pretty classic with its brown and black and yellow. In contrast, the positive Spanish-language bio piece is blue and green and orange and includes pictures of Korge with his family and with President Bill Clinton.
These two are the third and fourth, or maybe fourth and fifth mailer from Korge to the Democrat voter in Ladra’s household. We haven’t gotten one mailer from Bullard.
Bullard told Ladra we’d get one this week. 
He, too, was waiting for absentee ballots to drop. “I don’t have $700,000 of my dad’s money floating around. So we waited.”
The senator has told the Miami Herald — and then the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office — that Korge tried to bribe him off the ballot with $25,000 (more on that later) and that the trust fund kid speaks Clintonese when he says “I unequivocally did not offer $25,000 cash.”
He also said he expected that some people to go home today to find the negative hit piece in their mailbox and he was ready to answer questions honestly at the forum tonight.
“I’ll be the first to admit I’ve not been as on time as I should have been,” Bullard said about his violations, adding that he pays the fines from his personal account, not the campaign account.
“I have been negligent. If that’s all they can find on me, that speaks volumes,” Bullard said.
“I’ve always been one of those folks who accepts my misgivings and uses them to learn lessons,” he added. “I just don’t think that my opponent has the same thought process.”

No offense lladra, but Korge is outworking bullard in a major way. check out his Facebook. He knocked on my door and He was knocking on doors so many times a week that his posts became annoying. Bullard on the other hand sent someone in a bear costume to do his work.
Bullard will lose because he doesn’t work hard. He has been riding his parents coattails for a long time and hasn’t delivered 1 thing for the district. Ultimately a lack of hard work catches up.
Also, you mention the $25,000. How about the deal bullard cut with jason pizzo to stay in district 40? Pizzo gave bullard $2,000 two days after he announced he was staying in 40. That is against the law. And, i hear pizzo put $15,000 in a pac for dwight. Why dont you report on that?
The answer to that question is obvious – bullard paid for this article and you hate the korges (your boss raquel doesn’t). That is illegal, you know that, right?
You can always tell a campaign operative or a troll by their outlandish allegations.
Political Cortadito editorial space is not for sale. You can advertise, of course. Anybody can. Even Korge. Heck, even Gimenez. And no, I am not being paid by Bullard for campaign work, either. That would be in his campaign reports, as it is in Raquel’s.
And, in fact, my friends and fam are voting for Ana Rivas Logan, who is not out of the race, by the way. She only “suspended” campaigning but did not withdraw her name, so she can still win. I am not voting in the primary because I am an NPA. But I think that Ana is the only one who can beat Republican Frank Artiles, who should definitely not be elected Senator. Shudder.
WHEN I MAKE A MISTAKE ITS A WHOOPER! Bullard IS A RABID ANTI SEMITE IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY AFFILIATED BY A THUGGISH ANTI-WHITE ANTI-SEMITIC GROUP THAT TRASHED FT LAUDERDALE CITY HALL AND THREATENED PEOPLE SO BADLY POLICE HAD TO BE CALLED TO AUGMENT THE USUAL OFFICES. NO ONE WHO IS PART OF DREAM DEFENDERS THUGS DESERVES TO BE ELECTED DOG CATCHER.
WHATEVER ANDREW KORGE IS OR ISNT GE HAS NEVER ENGAGED IN THUGGERY OR ANTI-SEMITISM N RACISM LIKE BULLARD DID IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY UNDER THE RADAR SO PEOPLE LIKE ME WONT KNOW HIS DIRTY LITTLE ANTI SEMITIC SECRET.
While the Bullards were fighting for poor n working class n retirees in the conservative Elitist Republican Legislature the Korges were raking in MILLIIONS in sleazy County contracts. THE KORGES ARE EXACTLY WHAT IS DESTROYING OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Bullard bitching about a first time candidate running on their parents coattails?
Precious.
At least the Korges have coat tails. Between Edward, Lucinda and Dwight i can’t recall a single piece of important legislation.
Andrew korge will take the Senate and can work with both parties, and will bring the much need monies into the district.
The attempt to tie tried & true democrats to malicious behavior is exactly what voter’s are tired of. We base our votes on the records of candidates who have done work on behalf of citizens & who have a genuine desire to serve the people. The negative mailers do nothing for voters except prove that once again getting in the dirt is what voters do not want.
Well I hope Bullard loses!! He sold out many of his constituents when he used his political power to make calls on behalf of United Teachers Of Dade for Karla Mats. I will never vote for him, or any of the people he endorses. No one in my family will either. The number of votes he lost in my unit is 50.
The voter in your household who received the mailer is a “Democratic voter”, not a “Democrat voter”. Please try to hide your partisan bias a little better. Don’t forget that Ana Rivas-Logan is still an official candidate, as far as I can tell.
Partisan bias? What on Earth are you talking about, Leo?
I’m a proud card carrying NPA voter. One of the other voters in this house is a Democrat. One is a Republican. And yes, one is a Democrat voter, because both Democrat and Democratic are actually correct — although I might argue that we are ALL democratic voters, because that is the whole definition of a democracy.
Anyway, there is no reason to get snippy. If Ana Rivas Logan is still on the ballot, I will be voting for her. Simply because I think she has the best chance to beat Frank Artiles, who we cannot allow to become a Senator. Now that is not partisan bias showing because, as you know, I love some Republicans. That is just Artiles bias.
Woof!
Bullard always seems pretty humble. He looks like he buys his clothes at Wal Mart though. Perhaps he should use more money to buy better clothes and have them tailored?
I think Korge could be a refreshing young voice, but I don’t know how anyone could get behind someone who has jumped in so many races and attacked so many folks creating enemies… I wanna see leaders who can build working relationships acros the aisles …. Not create enemies which castrate their competition limiting their ability to accomplish anything if elected into office…
Korge is also his own worst enemy. He needs to establish himself with altruistic work giving back to the community and hold some non-elected leadership roles… His platform that his daddy is a bunker for the dems does not impress voters. Perhaps he gets support from local dem politicians, but they are just thirsty and hoping to drink from the tap… We have all hung out with Clintons and Bushes at one time or another. They are like cucarachas. All over the places begging for money… I would rather give my money to panhandlers on the street than the panhandling , pandering politicians …
It also irritates me when politicians want me to squeeze money out of my family and friends. If I give you some coin, be grateful, say thanks, and move on…
Ladra, keep on them…
