A lot of our local electeds went to the Three Kings Parade last Sunday in Little Havana and several of them posted photos of themselves with each other.
Nobody was more snapshot happy than Doral Councilwoman Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, who took photos with Sen. Rene Garcia, City Manager and former Miami Mayor Joe Carollo, former Hialeah Councilman Jose “Pepe” Yedra and even Gov. Rick Scott. But she also managed to get one with Jesus, Mary and Joseph — and fellow Councilwoman Christi Fraga.
Scott was in demand. Like un rey mago all by himself. Here he is with Sen. Garcia and Congress members Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart. Is that Sweetwater Commissioner Manuel Duasso in the back?
Like all the good Republicans there, State Rep. Jose Felix “One More Pepe” Diaz also mugged with the Guv.
He rode in the parade, however, with his little boys. How cute!
Miami-Dade Commissioner Audrey Edmonson, a Democrat, was not chasing the governor around. But she was busy waving from her float, a rolling Miami Police marine patrol boat.
Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, naturally, was there. And where the mayor is, his daughter, Miami-Dade School Board Member Raquel Regalado is not far behind. Here the political father daughter team smile for the camera with Miami’s newest elected, Commissioner Keon Hardemon.
Ladra heard that Mayor Philip Levine tweeted from the parade, but did not post photos. He did, however, post one of his appearance last week on the Brown & Compania TV program.
And not just a parade float, Rep. Diaz and State Rep. Jeanette Nunez (R-Doral) presented retiring U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe with the Florida State seal Friday at breakfast at The Biltmore.
State Rep. Kionne McGhee (D-South Dade) was at the Homestead/Florida City Martin Luther King Breakfast Friday morning. So was Congressman Joe Garcia, Homestead Mayor Jeff Porter, Florida City Mayor Otis Wallace and Miami-Dade School Board Member Larry Feldman, among others. Here are Porter and Garcia with one of the local pastors.
Meanwhile, State Rep. David Richardson in da House… the White House, that is, as President Barack Obama honored the Miami Heat for its championship. He posed for this shot with a portrait of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Guess the prez was busy with Eric Spoelstra.
Who needs Obama when you got Pitbull? Ladra’s favorite fellow canine barker, the Grammy-winning rapper gave a surprise pep rally Thursday at a Mater Academy Slam where Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo toured earlier. Dále.
