SAVE Dade endorses Beach candidates and responds to offensive flyer

Thu, Oct 11th 2007, 12:03

Among the candidates for Group VI, is Frank Kruszewski, a long time community activist and an openly gay candidate who is a board member of SAVE.  In responding to the flyer, Frank Kruszewski stated "It is clear that three specific candidates in the Group VI race are being targeted in this mailer. It is ethnically bigoted, homophobic and sexist."

Commissioner Michael Gongora, currently running for re-election in Group V, stated "I have seen the piece and I am very offended by the content and do not believe the residents of the City of Miami Beach deserve or want this type of politicking in our community. Although, this piece is not a consequence of the Group V race, it is important that all candidates in all the races this year denounce this type of campaigning as wrong and not what the voters of Miami Beach want to hear.
