This was all I could find on the FEC website, through Sept. 30th. Carlos Manrique is leading the pack of 7 candidates in District 116. He collected $49,445. In District 117, Michael Bileca is leading 7 candidates with $46,950. Lisa Lesperance is not that far behind. I am not counting loans to their campaigns, just what they raised.
Note, this is through September (old). Will have to look at State records.
Looked at State records through the end of year, Manrique collected $70,475.00 and Bileca raised $131,415. Michael is overloaded with dental interests. He collected $55,000 from himself. Lesparance collected $50,000 through the end of the year. The State records are awful. I can't be bothered wasting my time.

Is there any particular purpose to posting old campaign reports for 2 irrelevant seats?
Irrelevant to you, not to everyone."
Posting campaign reports on there from 2 quarters ago is not news. News is actually reporting on the seats?
Like that one of the candidates in 116, Ariel Fernandez, dropped out months ago. Like which of these candidates has the endorsement of the incumbents. Like a new frontrunner has emerged in 117, Ralph Rosado. Like how other people were scared off from running in 117 because Alex Diaz de la Portilla was thinking of running since he's termed out in the Senate.
That's what people want to know, not who raised what 6 months ago.
So write the blog and I will print it. I am on the State website now, they don't have any 2010 contributions posted for the candidates. You don't need up to the minute reports --you can tell a lot by any campaign report. It doesn't change that much.
Q: Why would anyone donate money to Manrique? Doesn't anyone remember when he ran for reelection in 1994? A: He lost a reelection bid because he was charged with domestic abuse and tested positive for cocaine subsequently thereafter.
Based on whose polls is Ralph Rosado the front runner? Sounds like a crock to me.
Carlos Manrique was accused of domestic violence in 1994, tested positive for cocaine and does not have a college degree. I don't believe Carlos is the best suited person for this seat. Your thoughts?
Do you really want your sons or daughters to be represented by a monster like Carlos Manrique!!!
Genius, can you find out more regarding Manrique's wife beating domestic violence history...
The public and your readers have the right to know the facts!

Article Text:
La fiscalia estatal y la policia metropolitana investigan al representante estatal Carlos Manrique por acusaciones de que propino una golpiza a su esposa.
Madelin Manrique presento cargos el sabado 8 de mayo ante la policia, alegando que su esposo la habia golpeado. La fiscalia inicio una investigacion.
"Todo es falso", dijo Manrique el viernes. "Me niego a aceptar las alegaciones. Todas son una farsa".
Agrego que sus abogados le han prohibido hacer comentarios a la prensa.
"Eso es lo mas dificil para un politico, no poder hablar con la prensa", dijo Manrique.
El abogado de Manrique, Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat, dijo que su cliente negaba rotundamente haber golpeado a su esposa.
"Obviamente, el senor Manrique niega total y categoricamente que el sabado o en cualquier otra ocasion haya abusado fisicamente de su senora", dijo Rodriguez-Chomat.
No quiso entrar en detalles sobre lo "que paso o dejo de pasar" el sabado, "ya que no podemos hacer comentarios porque se esta realizando una investigacion".
Rodriguez-Chomat anadio que su cliente ama a su esposa y su hijo.
"Pero este es un asunto privado que deberia ser resuelto en privacidad y no a traves de los medios de comunicacion".
El detective Patrick Brickman, portavoz de la policia metropolitana, informo que Manrique fue acusado de agresion pero que no se llevo a cabo un arresto.
Ana Martin-Lavielle, abogada de Madelin, informo el jueves que la pareja sostuvo una acalorada discusion que escalo hasta llegar a la violencia el pasado sabado.
"El le dio un golpe en el pecho, le apreto el cuello, y la
empujo hacia una pared", dijo Martin-Lavielle. "Despues de eso, la boto de la casa".
Martin-Lavielle dijo que la pelea tuvo lugar en la residencia de la pareja, en 3222 SW 93 Court, poco despues de las 2 p.m.
Despues del incidente, la senora Manrique y el hijo de la pareja, Carlos, de 9 anos, se mudaron a la casa de los padres de esta, dijo Martin-Lavielle.
"El nino no estaba en casa durante el incidente", dijo. "Ella estaba en un estado de shock".
Segun el parte de la policia metropolitana, la senora Manrique llamo el sabado a las autoridades desde la casa de sus padres, poco despues de las 7 p.m.
El agente que dio curso a la denuncia, E. Delgado, afirmo que la denunciante tenia "las areas del pecho y la nuca enrrojecidas". Al llegar a la casa de Manrique, el legislador le explico que, en efecto, la pareja habia discutido, pero que el altercado no habia terminado en violencia fisica.
"(Manrique) me dijo que se habia involucrado en un altercado verbal con la victima", dice el parte. "Pero anadio que no la habia golpeado".
La abogada de la senora Manrique rehuso hacer comentarios a El Nuevo Herald sobre si el incidente del sabado es el primero de indole violenta entre la pareja.
"Lo unico que estamos esperando es la investigacion de la fiscalia", dijo. "Estamos mas que dispuestos a cooperar con ellos en esta situacion".
Maggie Rosenbaum, fiscal estatal adjunta que encabeza la division de violencia domestica, dijo que su oficina ya ha comenzado una "investigacion activa". Pero agrego que ello le impide hacer comentarios al respecto.
Hey Marin, maybe its about time you dropped this clown Manrique before you sink with the ship. Rumor has it that things are not looking good for him. Willy B is getting endorsements that Manrique should be getting. Trujillo's name is also being brought up amongst the circles.
Word has it Manrique also had a drug abuse problem in the past and domestic violence cases against him. Take it from me, you don't want to be around when the music stops....tic, toc, tic, toc
Stop spreading lies about Carlos.Yes there were accusations, but he ended up with custody, explain that.
No he did not end up with the custody the grand parents did and he was raised by his grandparents... trust me I know them all very well I dated the fool (the son)
