It was a good day for Republicans in the nation, Florida and in Miami-Dade, where all five constitutional offices were won by GOP candidates. Quite comfortably. And a bad day for political consultant Christian Ulvert, who less than three months ago was celebrating a first round win for Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. Ulvert ran the […]
It’s tradition now. The Kendall Federation Political Action Committee, the political arm of the Kendall Federation of Homeowners Associations, has come out with their endorsements for both Miami-Dade candidates and the state amendments on the ballot.

Two Miami-Dade commission incumbents won last week with little oppositional pressure and/or much fanfare. Commissioner Keon Hardemon fought back an attempt by former Commissioner Audrey Edmonson to grab her District 3 seat back, winning 61% of the vote. And Commissioner Roberto “Rob” Gonzalez — appointed by the governor to replace suspended Joe Martinez after his […]

Since Day 1, the former congresswoman, who handily beat three others in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, has concentrated on the real enemy: U.S. Sen. Rick Scott. She’s been hitting him consistently.
