Miami-Dade voters painted the town red Tuesday when ballots counted showed that Republican candidates had won all but one local partisan race.
The only exception: Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, who handily beat her opponent, Jesus Navarro, with 71% of the vote.

Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar is a copycat.
Yeah, yeah. All Republican candidates pull the socialist card like it’s campaign gold, because it is in some voter demographics. But Salazar came out last week with a TV commercial in which she says, almost word for word, what Sen. Marco Rubio has been saying for weeks.
By now, everyone has seen them. Congresswoman Val Demings, presenting a very real challenge to Sen. Marco Rubio, has released a pair of TV commercials that show she’s getting aggressive in this race.
The first ad positions the Democrat, a former Orlando police officer and chief from 2007 to 2011, as the law and order candidate. Demings walks across a timeline with photos of her 27-year law enforcement career and says she will fight against “bad ideas” like defunding the police.

There has been a lot of press about the possible eviction of Ana Lazara Rodriguez from her longtime home.
The 82-year-old woman is not terribly unique in that hundreds if not thousands of Floridians like her have lost or are losing their homes due to some less-than-honest bank moves (more on that later). But she’s newsworthy, apparently, because she’s a Cuban anti-revolutionary activist who spent 19 years in prison under Fidel Castro, the longest period of any female political prisoner.
