City Runoffs and County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle Has Two Challengers. By Geniusofdespair

We already announced Florence 'Flomo' Moss was running but 12/30/2009, Josaphat 'Joe' Celestin has entered the race. You will remember Joe was the Mayor of North Miami. He is a Republican of Haitian descent. It remains to be seen if there are enough Haitians in the district to take out the blinged-up, fat one who has raised $11,750 (including a $3,500 loan to himself). Last time Haitian American Phillip Brutus ran against Rolle and lost with less than 30%. Wow, in this race I might have to do a lot of soul searching to see who to support. We've got 'bad' Joe and then we've got 'worse' Dorrin. Don't know Flomo but with $30 she ain't going to get far.

Pepe Diaz, also running but with no challengers, has raised about $55,000 including money from Miguel DeGrandy, Henry Dean, Dade County Farm Bureau, Cemex, Basulto Mgmt. and a couple of thousand from Shoma Homes corporations.

In the City of Miami, running once again for District 5, Spence-Jones has only raised $17,700 to date. Not much but about 10 times more than anyone else running for that seat. Willy Gort, running for District 1 is raking in the dough, he has $65,795. Mike Suarez has about $12,000 and Miguel A. Gabela has the most cash with $78,075 except $75,000 of that was a loan.

Florence Moss is a terrific young woman who was president of the Miami-Dade Young Democrats until recently, a military veteran, smart, a good speaker. Lot of future in Florence Moss.

Good glad to hear he has a viable challenger. I hope she is walking the district every single day. Without money that is her only hope.

Without Money she might as well stay home watching reruns of Good Times and put up a picture of the Ghetto Gubner on her mantle. The only thing that can derail the Ghetto Gubner's reelection is an arrest and conviction. As JJ used to say that would be DY NO Mite!
