Miami Commissioner Francis Suarez has yet to say if he’ll run for mayor.
His campaign finance reports may speak louder than words.
Suarez raised more than $460,000 for his political committee in the last three months of 2012, a report released Friday shows. The only official candidate raising money, Mayor Tomás Regalado, collected about $91,000 in contributions over the same quarter.
The election is Nov. 5.
The early fundraising efforts signal what city observers have been speculating about for months: that Suarez, the charismatic, 35-year-old son of former Miami mayor and current County Commissioner Xavier Suarez, could pose a serious threat to Regalado.
“The good news for Francis is that he’s going to have the resources,” Florida International University professor Dario Moreno said. “There are enough political and business types that Regalado has angered. They are going to be able to raise money [for Suarez].”
As if sh*t isn't bad enough in this city, now we're going to have to suffer through an entire year of these two immoral scumbags ripping each other apart. Lucky us

My vote is for Francis. It's about time we had an openly gay Mayor in the City of Miami! Kudos, sir.
You can do it.
