It’s time for Ladra to make her recommendations for this Aug. 23 ballot. There’s nothing any of the candidates can do at this point to change my mind and early voting has already started.
Hell, more than 100,000 people have voted already (more on that later).
The last time the Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations met with its members and residents was in March of 2020. Ladra remembers it well, because she was the guest speaker. It was so much fun.

Anybody who wants to meet the Democratic candidates running for office in this month’s primary can find a bunch of them at Beat Culture Brewery Friday night at an event organized by Miami Cuban Dems.
Among the confirmed candidates are two who want to reclaim congressional seats lost in 2020: Sen. Annette Taddeo, who is running to unseat Maria Elvira Salazar in District 27, and former State Rep. Robert Asencio, who is running to unseat Carlos Gimenez in District 28.
Early voting starts Monday — and so does the policing.

Miami Beach voters might think their Aug. 23 ballot is fat, with six city referendums put to them. Just wait until November.
There will be eight ballot questions about the changes in the city charger and proposed developments on the November ballot. Eight! Miami Beach has the most questions on the ballot, followed by Key Biscayne, which has seven. Seven! South Miami is next with five charter amendments, including one that will increase the mayoral term from two to four years.
