After winning the primary Tuesday for the Republican spot in the congressional race for District 26, Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo could have and should have immediately disclosed his client list at Capitol Gains — the one he hides under his wife’s name — and diffused any controversy that is likely going to be a major campaign […]
In his bid for the nomination to the Congressional race in District 26, Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos “Crybaby” Curbelo spent close to $1 million for the 47% primary victory Tuesday.
