Miami Lakes Councilman Manny Cid scored another young GOP VIP — 
possibly the Holy Grail of 305 GOP endorsements — when Sen. Marco Rubio recorded a robocall for his mayoral bid.
“The 2016 election cycle is about the future,” Rubio says after identifying himself. “Not only the future of our great nation but the future of many municipalities here in Florida. And one leader that represents the same vision as I have is Manny Cid.
“He is a true conservative leader who believes in cutting red tape and wasteful spending. He’s a proven reformer who will serve Miami Lakes residents well as their mayor.”
Cid is running against incumbent Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi and founding mayor Wayne Slaton.

“Senator Rubio and I share similar values and visions for the future. Having him in my corner means a lot to our efforts to bring ew leadership to Miami Lakes,” said Cid, who worked as a legislative aid for former State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez when Rubio was House Speaker.
“I was fortunate to work on one of the 100 ideas for Florida’s future. These types of ideas and reforms have inspired me to promote transparency and accessibility at Town Hall,” Cid told Ladra.
And, of course, that he’s “honored to have his support.”
Pero, por supuesto! Here’s a one-time and future presidential hopeful, the guy who came in No. 3 this year, endorsing little Manny Cid in a municipal race with less than 20,000 registered voters. It’s such a coup that Cid uploaded the recording to YouTube. You know, for people who miss Marco’s call or don’t live in Miami Lakes and just like to hear his voice (don’t judge me).
Rubio is running his own re-election campaign and has come out to endorse very few candidates. In fact, in addition to , Ladra can only remember him coming out publicly for one other Republican on the ballot: Donald Trump.
