Daniella Levine Cava calls volunteers again — for Joe Garcia

When Daniella Levine Cava was running for a county commission seat, she got a little help and moral support from her friendly neighborhood Democrat Congressman, Joe Garcia.

Now she wants to return the favor.

Levine Cava, whose grassroots campaign beat Miami-Dade Commisioner Lynda Bell Aug. 26, appealed to her supporters Wednesday in a last call for volunteers — but for Garcia this time, not herself.

“Rep. Garcia has been a good friend to me and to South Florida, always putting our issues first.  We need to keep him in Congress,” she wrote in an email blast. “With only one month to election day, we need all of our supporters to help him win the old fashioned way – by talking to voters about the issues that matter to us in South Florida.”

She asked that volunteers report Sunday to one of three Garcia campaign locations — Hammocks, Palmetto Bay or Florida City — to go out canvassing.

This is the weekend before absentee ballots are mailed.

“I told Joe that I would work hard to get 50 members of our grassroots team to show up this weekend and help turn out voters,” Levine Cava wrote.

“We know we will win if we turn out to vote and that means we need your help once again!”

I’ll say. Garcia needs at the very least the core base support that ushered Levine Cava into office if he wants to be more than a one-term congressman. That means the unions and the librarians and the Pet’s Trust people and the Democrats, which he supposedly already has.

Meanwhile, Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo has Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen batting for him in the Keys.

But IRL also plugged Bell in the commission race — and look how well that turned out.
