Democratic resurgence in Miami-Dade

We all should study these numbers as we campaign our hearts out for our three congressional candidates, and the DailyKos article is the best place to get it in full detail and nicely laid out with hyperlinks to the official sources.

For this blog I’m only going to report the three districts’ Democratic deficits and show how they’ve shrunk.

• District 18, where Annette Taddeo challenges long-time Republican rubber-stamp Ileana Ros Lehtinen. The Democrats are only behind 7,129 souls, much better than the deficit of 18,006 in January.
• District 21, where Raul Martinez has what Kos regards as the hardest role to oust Lincoln Diaz-Balart. The Democrats are behind 24,643, against a deficit of 31,045 in January. It sounds like a big deficit until it’s clear that Republicans always have voted like crazy for Raul Martinez in the district, where he was mayor of Hialeah for many terms.
• District 25, where Joe Garcia is taking on Mario Diaz-Balart (he who brags untruthfully that our two Democratic congressmen won’t support Garcia). Here the margin has narrowed the most of the three districts, down to 3,624 from 13,348 in January.

No excuses will be accepted for slowing our efforts to recruit new Democratic voters.

Joe in our community!

Team Joe! would like to thank Covenant Missionary Baptist Church for
inviting us to take part in a wonderful and meaningful event his past
Saturday. At the Church's Back to School Book Bag drive, Joe Garcia
provided school supplies to over 400 children in Florida City. We would
like to thank our dedicated members of Team Joe for assisting in the
project. Team Joe! walked South Florida in two locations this weekend,
Perrine and West Kendall. Thank you to all our members who helped reach
our community. We look forward to meeting the Cutler Bay community in
the coming weeks and taking part in more community events. Look for the
white shirts! Thanks again for your support. We are walking towards
victory!
