Dec. 16 Miami-Dade is infamous for its political dynasties. On the ballot this year, Miami voters saw familiar names up and down the ballot: Suarez, Hardemon, Barreiro, Regalado, Diaz de la Portilla.
Now, the Coral Gables city commission is getting its own injection of family affairs.
Former Miami-Dade mayor and new U.S Rep.-elect Carlos Gimenez s daughter-in-law, Tania Cruz-Gimenez, has filed her paperwork to fill the Group 2 seat left vacant by Coral Gables Vice Mayor Vince Lago, who is running for mayor against Commissioner Patricia Keon.
