Support Taddeo

We can’t handle another campaign about scandals in South Florida. That’s why as a Democrat, I will support Annette Taddeo over Joe Garcia in the Democratic primary.

I supported Garcia in 2012, because I really wanted to turn the page on David Rivera. Garcia lost this seat for Democrats after it was discovered that his campaign was corrupt and his chief of staff when to jail for absentee ballot fraud.

I can’t stand to see another election cycle where the Republicans will have the upper hand like 2014.

All the conservative big donors such as the Koch brothers are going to pour millions into bringing to light Garcia’s campaign troubles like it just happened yesterday.

The only people who will lose in this process are Democrats. We loved Garcia, but he let us down.

We need a fresh Democrat with a clean image and no baggage. Otherwise, we risk another two years of Carlos Curbelo, who has been disastrous for our region.
