The unfortunate police takedown of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill at a traffic stop earlier this month is already becoming a campaign issue in the race for Miami-Dade Sheriff. Pero, por supuesto. Especially after the officer’s record of past abuse allegations came to light in recent days. Both candidates in the Nov. 5 sheriff’s […]
Miami-Dade Chief of Public Safety James Reyes, who is running for the county sheriff’s post established by voters across the state in 2018, announced on Tuesday that he had accepted an invitation to debate Miami-Dade Assistant Police Director Rosanna “Rosie” Cordero-Stutz, who won the Republican primary last month to advance to the November election.

Nod in sheriff’s race causes dueling GOP videos One would think that former President Donald Trump is busy enough, what with the hush money trial in full swing, the first of four criminal trials he is facing for more than 90 felony charges. One would think he’d also lie low, particularly in micro local elections […]
In his second video as Gino the Magnificent, Miami-Dade sheriff candidate Jeffrey Giordano — a long shot poking fun at the November election and some the 17 candidates in the clown car — manages to offend women, blacks, short people, union members, seniors and even phlebotomists.
