Ouch! It didn’t take long for the Miami-Dade Republican Party to lash out at former Congressman Joe Garcia, who announced Wednesday that he was going to run for his old seat again, which he lost in 2014 to a Miami-Dade School Board member named Carlos Curbelo. Within hours, the @MiamiGOP had tweeted a photo collage of headlines […]
Looks like Annette Taddeo won’t have to worry about Andrew Korge, son of Democratic fundraising powerhouse Chris Korge, running against her in the congressional primary for District 26. Because he got scared away by Joe Garcia. So, now all Taddeo has to contend with is the former Congressman, a one-time friend and ally, who has apparently […]
We may actually have a Democratic primary in South Florida’s favorite congressional district this year, thanks to the Florida Supreme Court’s new maps that made District 26 a little bluer. But is wannabe candidate Andrew Korge the best we can do? Korge put a trial balloon in the air with a Miami Herald reporter, leaking […]
The Florida Supreme Court approval of new congressional maps will affect District 26, where freshman U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo now has a real battle on his hands. Curbelo was elected last year against one-term Congressman Joe Garcia, who had a cloud hanging over his head about absentee ballot fraud just as former Congressman David Rivera […]

Charlie Crist were slanderous. But since elected to the office in November, Curbelo has seemed to prove he’s a […]

As Republican nominees for the 2016 presidential nomination prepare for the first debate Thursday by rehearsing their issues stances and going over (and over and over) their message points, political junkies in the 305 — where we have not one but two local boys in the running — prepare by purchasing bulk amount of chips […]
Debbie does not do Havana. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, is not down with President Barack Obama‘s warming up to the Cuban government and told The Daily Signal last week — again, because she’s said it before — that the U.S. should perhaps wait to normalize relations as some kind […]
The Florida Supreme Court ruling Thursday that mandates the redistricting of eight of the state’s 27 congressional districts — an act that will likely domino-effect its way into a fully new statewide map — is seen as a real boon to Democrats who may be able to take more red seats from Miami to the […]
Extra, extra! Stop the presses! Annette Taddeo is running for Congress! Really? Is this news? Taddeo made the official announcement Monday morning but already over the weekend, bloggers were abuzz about it. Why? What else is she going to do? She had to run for something. It’s like a bad habit already. A perennial candidate, […]
Influential lobbyist Jorge Luis Lopez — who everyone says ought to have his own desk on the 29th floor at County Hall — seems to be trying to increase his influence and take it national. Why else would he be having a fundraiser Friday for newly-minted Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-Kendall). Lopez sent out an invitation […]
