Florida’s primary election is just around the corner and it seems as if the non-partisan Miami-Dade Mayor’s race could extend out to the November general election.
The winner of this race needs to win by 50 percent of the vote, plus 1, but how the race has stacked up, it appears as if incumbent Mayor Carlos Gimenez may have a tough time getting 51 percent of the vote.The popular Gimenez is facing a challenge from renegade Miami-Dade School Board member Raquel Regalado (R), the daughter of City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado (R) (both pictured).
Renegade Raquel Regalado, who has recently had some financial issues, is known for trying to buck the Republican Party any chance she gets.

How so?
First of all, the Charlie Crist-like, issues-changing Regalado is running against Gimenez, a Republican.
Now let’s go back to September 2010, when Regalado endorsed then-Democratic gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink of Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Scott.Yes, Regalado supported Democrat Alex Sink after now-Governor Rick Scott won the Republican gubernatorial primary election of then-Attorney General Bill McCollum.
The Miami Herald reported on September 14, 2010 that Regalado attended an event hosted by several like-minded Hispanic Republican women in Little Havana.
“I have known Alex Sink for many years and I feel confident that with her decades as a successful business leader, she is best suited to help grow our economy, create jobs, and help lead our state to a more prosperous future…Alex also understands the important link between a quality education system and a strong economy, and I fully support her plan to improve our schools and build a higher-quality, more accountable education system for our students.”-Raquel Regalado
Meanwhile, the proverbial political scrabbled egg still hangs of Regalado’s face as Gov. Rick Scott’s successful jobs agenda continues to drive Florida’s economy.
