Annette Taddeo

Nikki Fried, the last Democrat to hold a statewide office in Florida, was selected to chair the Florida Democratic Party as it looks to recover from its latest disastrous election cycle.

Last week's midterm elections hardened the contrast between GOP-embracing Florida Latinos and Democrat-leaning Latinos elsewhere. Is it permanent?

COMMENTARY Unlike the GOP, Democrats have rarely ever got — or tried to get — what distinguishes Miami Latinos from others in the U.S. Is it now too late?

Florida’s District 27 — which covers broad parts of Miami-Dade County, stretching from Miami’s Little Havana to South Dade — is up in the air, with incumbent Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar and Democratic State Senator Annette Taddeo battling out for the seat. WLRN spoke to Taddeo about affordability issues, Cuba, foreign policy and campaign accusations. Salazar did not respond to requests for an interview.

COMMENTARY Calling GOP Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar a "socialist" as carelessly as she hurls the word herself cuts Democrats' credibility as foes of disinformation.

Few places disappointed Democrats in 2020 as deeply as South Florida. A shift among Latinos toward the GOP contributed to several unexpected losses in House races and helped then-President Donald Trump carry Florida by more than 3 percentage points.

The win sets Taddeo up for a November election against incumbent Republican congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar, a fight her supporters say she can win.

Democrats say Florida's GOP Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez — a Cuban-American — indicated Gov. DeSantis will bus undocumented Cuban migrants out of the state.

Gustavo Petro's supporters hope he'll fix Colombia's gaping economic inequality — but South Florida expats fear he'll imitate Latin America's socialist regimes.

A week after dropping her bid to become governor, state Sen. Annette Taddeo, D-Miami, announced support for Congressman Charlie Crist’s campaign to try to unseat Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Congressman Charlie Crist is stressing a need for party unity among the Democratic gubernatorial candidates, who agree their priority is to stop Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the “culture wars” he has championed.

Taddeo said she opposes "wasting taxpayer money to go there," citing a letter signed this week by Republican leaders in the Legislature that stated they would rather get the governor's sign-off on a new congressional map before drawing one of their own.
