- sergiotapia 9y agoI don't subscribe to that nonsense lol, but I realize that's the normal definition.
- eesmith 9y agoThe mayor of Miami, Tomás Pedro Regalado was born in Cuba, and 3 of the 6 city commissioners were either born in Cuba or born to Cuban parents. The city commissioners are: * Wifredo "Willy" Gort - born in Cuba, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Gort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Gort * Ken Russell - born in Coral Gables, FL, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article39543000.html http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... . Does not appear to have a Cuban connection. * Frank Carollo - born in Miami of Cuban-born parents, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article1956852.html http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... * Francis Suarez - born in Miami. His father Xavier Suarez, Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor in 1985, http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article147517949.html http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... * Keon Hardemon - born in Miami, "scion of one of Liberty City’s most politically active families and the son of a Miami police officer", http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article1957634.html http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/a... . Does not appear to have a Cuban connection. I think that helps demonstrate local majority political power.
