MY Friends as you know I Usually write on National Political, and Social issues. In addition to my Activism and.Advocacy For Medicaid Expansion. But today I am going to go back to my roots. I always cared about whatever Community I lived in, Be it Atlantic City New Jersey, Ocala Florida, or some of the cities in South Florida I have called home. So today I am.going to talk about Local Politics. 

This year We have A Mayors Race for Miami Dade County Mayor. And it is going to be a close dirty one. The Incumbent Mayor Carlos Gimenez I am No Fan Of ! I voted ifor him In 2012 as a New Resident of Miami Dade County. Lets just say he was the best of two bad candidates. You see I as you know am a Liberal Progressive Democrat. But I had no choice no Democrat was running. And at that time I thought Mayor Giminez was a Good Choice.

Boy was I Wrong ! Big Time ! Within one year he was ready to Close Libraries, and Also closed Fire Houses for 1 day at a time. Putting sick Citizens like me at risk. Not only that but he shut down the County Fire Boat too. His Claim was Budget issues. The irony in this is Mayor Gimenez is a Former City of Miami FireFighter and Paramedic.  

Fortunately For We in Miami Dade his Shut downs did not work. But he was not done he then tried to Cut or Eliminate 30 Bus Routes. One of Which I as a disabled adult use. So my Activism at the local level began by Calling Mayor Gimenez out on Twitter and by Petition. On his dramatic foolish cuts to vital Community Services .His bus route cut proposal too failed.

So We Are now in 2016 and Gun Violence is tearing apart Miami Dade. Again Mayor Gimenez does nothing. On #Zika Virus he dies very little to nothing, putting his citizens at risk of disease. He also Failed to support A Voter Led No Kill Animal Shelter. He is No Friend to Our Pets either.

We desperately need a change in Miami Dade County and it starts at the Top.No Democrat is able to Win and to stop Mayor Giminez and his creul reign  I am personally supporting Raquel Regalado for Miami Dade County Mayor.Yes she is a Republican but a moderate one . Who Will work with others. She was endorsed. By  Unions.  Ms. Regalado has seved our Community on the Miami Dade School Board. She is a Tireless advocate for the disabled. As she has a disabled child too. She wants a Safe Miami Dade County.  She is Pro Union and Pro Public Safety. Raquel Regalado is tired of sseing kids get shot, and wants to do something about it. She is tired of seeing people stuck in Low Wage Jobs. She wants A Better Miami Dade County. Not Build Baby Build like Mayor Giminez. Who also has a fondness for putting A High Rise on Every corner. Raquel Regalado wants a Community not A Resort For The Rich ! She also is an animal Lover and Will protect our pets too.

So in South Florida Our Chouce is Clear Vote for Carlos Gimenez and Support the big money. and No Services. Or Go For The Peoples Champion Raquel Regalado.  I support Ms Regalado. 

Thank You God Bless
