We are all concerned by the escalation of conflict with Iran being conducted by the (impeached) president, but we cannot let it distract us from important issues at home.

Presented under the theme, “It’s on Us,” the gala’s keynote speaker was Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and featured Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried.

The Trump Administration recently announced that the G7 summit will be held at his Doral property.

He continues to profit off the presidency through numerous conflicts of interest and has wasted tens of millions of dollars traveling to his own properties and golf courses. Taxpayer dollars will flow right into his pockets, and security will be paid for by Miami-Dade taxpayers.
