Christian Family Coalition Rates our Elected Officials: Dwight Bullard and Luis Garcia Rate Well With Us! By Geniusofdespair

The higher your score with this intolerant group, the less we like you over here at Eye On Miami. We are proud of Dwight Bullard and Luis Garcia, Jr. for their low scores. They are both running. Luis is running for Bruno Barreiro's seat and Dwight is running for State Senate.  Sadly, both of the front-runners for Mayor are going to appear at a breakfast meeting at CFC.  Ick.

Will Gloria Romero Roses Run Against Ethically Challenged U.S. Congressman David Rivera and Other Election News. By Geniusofdespair

I am hoping Gloria Romero Roses runs against David Rivera. She would be a good choice. She was a Miami Fellows Initiative graduate and is a successful businesswoman. Joe Garcia also might challenge Rivera.

Luis Garcia has made it official that he is not running against David Rivera. On the elections website it says he is running against Bruno Barreiro. Everyone open your pockets and help Luis. Barreiro is really, really bad. If I had to blame one person for the Ball Park bad deal, it would be Bruno. He was the chair at the time and he would not allow any amendments and he truncated discussion. Throw the bum out.

In other news, State Rep. Luis Garcia will challenge bad boy U.S. Rep. David Rivera. Garcia, a Democrat, announced the launch of his campaign on Wednesday. Annette Taddeo reportedly is also eying this seat but no announcement yet.
