The runoff for the commission seat in Coral Gables is really a contest between a well-connected, super funded lobbyist with a semi-famous last name, and a relatively unknown business woman with no money and an unfortunate last name.
Guess who the establishment has chosen.
In New Hampshire this week to drum up support for his promised presidential run, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez offered up his personal cellphone number — and everyone ate it up.
“I’m going to do something radical,” Suarez said, speaking at an event at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, NH. “I did this in Iowa and people kind of freaked out. The cameras are on, so it may be broadcast, so it’s even more radical. But I’m going to give you my personal cellphone number.”
It’s like they haven’t learned a thing.
The dark money forces that attacked Coral Gables Commissioner Elect Ariel Fernandez before last week’s election have turned their focus to Melissa Castro, a mental health worker and permit expediter who made the runoff in the Group 4 race with text messages that say she’ll raise income tax and gas and grocery prices.
