Here's a quick summary of my recommendations for the lower part of Miami-Dade ballot — the non-partisan races that often don't get the attention they deserve:
Circuit Judges – Group 45: Samantha Ruiz Cohen
Circuit Judges: – Group 62: Robert Kuntz
County Judges – Group 7: Edward Newman
County Judges – Group 11: Flora Seff
School Board District 6: Dr. Kitchka Petrova
Charter Amendment Eliminating the Office of County Manager: NO
Home Rule Charter Amendment Authorizing County Commission to Abolish Municipalities of Twenty or Fewer Electors: YES
Home Rule Charter Amendment Relating to Franchises: NO
Explanations for these suggestions will be found in these five blog posts:
Part I: Introduction
Part II: Circuit Judges
Part III: County Judges
Part IV: School Board, District 6
Part V: Miami-Dade County Charter Amendments
Early and absentee voting in Miami-Dade is now open. Details on how to register and vote are in Part I of this series. I'll try to remember to re-run this post on election day, which is Tuesday, August 24th.
(Meanwhile, perhaps this summary will attract the South Florida Daily Blog?)
