After reporting month after month with no contributions for more than three years, a political action committee for Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle reported raising $182,000 in the last quarter of 2023. Add that to the $239,374 reported in her campaign account and Ms KFR has almost half a million in the bank already.
What she doesn’t have is a race. Nobody has challenged our state attorney. At least not yet. And it would be a hard bid. Fernandez Rundle has proven to be invincible at the polls.
After her appointment in 1993, when the late Janet Reno was made the first woman U.S. Attorney General, Fernandez Rundle made history of her own in 1994 by becoming the first Cuban-American state attorney elected in the State of Florida. She was then re-elected eight times. Eight! She has served for more than 20 years. That’s like a sentence!
Of the 254 contributions reported in her campaign account, $102,000 (almost half) is a loan from herself. The rest of the donations are from mostly attorneys and some real estate developers — perhaps because her consultant is Christian Ulvert, who also consults the county mayor and several county commissioners.

The biggest contributors to the PAC — called Citizens for Justice PC — are also in the real estate business. Stuart Miller, executive chairman and co-CEO of Lennar Corporation, gave $100,000 and developer Michael Wohl, of Pinnacle and Coral Rock Development, gave $20,000 (cheapskate!). Auto moguls Alan Potamkin and Norman Braman gave $25,000 and $10,000, respectively. Spice king Joseph Badia also gave $10,000.
And, by the way, thanks to a stupid new state law that changed campaign reporting deadlines from monthly to quarterly, we won’t know how much she is raising now until some time in April. But Ladra wouldn’t be surprised if it surpasses a million, which would scare away any potential contestants.

She is the enabler of the Miami political Cosa Nostra.
Gotta love how Broward has to take Dade’s corruption cases because La Madrina is neck-deep in “conflicts of interest” aka protecting her fellow Cuban mafia capos.
Sadly as Stephanie points out she’ll be re-elected and her enablement of wholesale open corruption will continue.
Gus your a nut. Criminal and loser. The governor is going to hear nothing. Criminals he don’t like. Loser.
She will win and Miami-Dade County will continue to be the most corrupt in the state under her watch.
I Gus Abella pray to God that all my documented evidence that can prove that Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has knowingly in her official and personal capacity, criminally wronged me, be investigated by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
I Gus Abella will submit to be placed under oath and testify and submit to a polygraph.
Respectfully

Kathy has been re elected time after time because she has performed her duties in a diligent and non partisan way, she has never allowed party politics to play a part in her decisions, we deserve someone like her and if we had more elected officials that would put doing the right thing over a party platform, we’d be in a better place.
Her incompetence and negligence of duty to office has made me one of her victims with lies such as asigning Det. Padron 3 years ago and have heard of no one. 11 years asking for an investigation, replaced 14 phones, 5 computers, my finances and heath affected, and she is running again. No hay peor estilla que la del mismo palo, es una cara guagua
An unobstructed criminal investigation into case Miami Dade Circuit Court Case # B-18-019026 could find that Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, knowingly and willfully, in bad faith, out of malice, under color of law, unlawfully orchestrated this injustice, in this case, against Abella, to silence and punish Gus Abella for having voiced and exercised his constitutionally protected right exposing wrongdoing within Miami-Dade County Government
Hoping and praying to God, that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reviews all my evidence
Sincerely
Gus Abella
