In her first month of campaign fundraising after announcing her run for 2020 Miami-Dade mayor, Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava shows she will be a force to be reckoned with — if not the outright front runner from Day 1. Levine Cava raised almost $230,000, according to her first report from April 2 to April 30. […]
A longtime advocate of clean water and Everglades restoration, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava — who boasts the nickname “Water Warrior” — will work with other electeds across Florida to address the algae blooms and other water quality issues that plague the state. Levine Cava was selected to serve on the Florida Association of Counties’ (FAC) […]
I know its late. I know Ladra has been quiet lately. We have been distracted with other work and getting her puppy bien instalada at college. Forgive me. This midterm election is much more important than we’ve treated it and for that, Ladra is sorry. But better late than never. So without any further excuses, […]
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava, who is expected to win her re-election bid without much trouble, is thought of as the soft-spoken, bespectacled progressive who starts many of her sentences with an apology and stays away from negative politics. But to Ran Gimeno and his family, she is “a monster.” Gimeno and his husband, […]

How they are going to get through the Feb. 7 meeting without talking about this is still a mystery. There’s no question that Miami-Dade Commissioners will discuss the mayor’s directive last week to honor detention requests […]
And what else might the mayor give up to Trump? Miami-Dade Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava is pushing back on the mayor’s decision last week to kowtow to Donald Trump and betray not only the immigrant community in Miami-Dade but all of us. She’s the only one. So far, anyway. But her questions could put the issue […]
As expected, the American Dream megamall project passed its first hurdle — if one can even call it a hurdle — at Wednesday’s meeting of the Miami-Dade County Commission as they voted to move forward with a proposd change to the county’s Comprehensive Development Master Plan that would allow the development of the massive retail […]
The big news this week is on Hump Day, when the county mayor gives his annual State of the County address (more on that later). Expect it to be a full house with every elected under the sun — not just the county ones but the municipal council or commission members and Ladra will even […]
A group of Democrat electeds and wannabe electeds got together Friday to denounce gun violence and call for gun reform at what amounted to basically a campaign stop. Standing side by side to deliver their message of support for common sense firearm restrictions, were former Congressman Joe Garcia, who is running to get his seat back […]
