The Miami Herald just endorsed my Sister Daniella Levine Cava and I like what they had to say!! miamiherald/2014/07/29/4261643/the-herald-recommends-for-miami.html This just in!! DISTRICT 8 Voters have a chance to broaden the vision and deepen the conversation on the commission dais about making District 8 a better place for all its residents. This is an opportunity that they should not pass up, because the benefits stand to reach far beyond the borders of District 8. Daniella Levine Cava is challenging incumbent Lynda Bell to represent this urban/rural/commercial/agricultural district to the south. Ms. Bell, 57, has focused on promoting small businesses and sponsoring legislation to make it easier to do business in Miami-Dade. She also helped tighten county ethics rules — which makes some of her missteps befuddling. She writes in the Editorial Board’s questionnaire that, “I treat my position as a privilege and recognize that I’m elected to serve the needs of others, not self.” But she moved to get rid of the county’s ban on chain-link fences in unincorporated areas — without disclosing that her daughter and son-in-law are in the fencing business and could benefit. So much for “open” and “transparent,” as she writes a commissioner must be. It calls into question her judgment as a public servant. So does ensuring that a senior-citizen complex in the district, built with county funds, was named for her mother. Ms. Levine Cava, 58, brings refreshing thoughtfulness and solid professional experience — outside the realm of politics — that stand to make her an excellent commissioner, in the mold of selfless public servants from Dante Fascell to Bill Sadowski to Bill Lehman, whose accomplishments are still making life better for many South Florida. For decades, Ms. Levine Cava, the founder of Catalyst Miami, soldiered on behalf of low- and middle-income families to help them become, or remain, self sufficient and whole. Catalyst helped develop new approaches to economic and community development. An attorney, she served as legal director for Guardian Ad Litem and filled many other community-focused positions. Ms. Levine Cava has a track record of leadership that can only enhance county governance. For that reason, the Miami Herald recommends for County Commission, District 8, DANIELLA LEVINE CAVA.
