That's not the only reason I'm running for office as mayor. That's literally what pissed me off enough to put on a jacket and walk back to City Hall where I hadn't been for two years to say the corruption level has gotten so low. The other things they're undoing or even other ordinances that I passed having to do with protections of trees and they're undoing recycling in the city of Miami.

They're trying to write themselves lifetime pensions. These are all things that... need to be addressed in a systemic way. It's not about putting one person in to replace the other. It's about breaking the entire wheel of what's going on right now there.

Manolo Reyes now voted in favor of defunding these parks, the public benefit parks. He voted for Mel Reese this last month.

No, he didn't have nothing to gain. He has no idea what he voted for last month. He really believes that he voted for it. He said, we never even voted on those public benefits. We just talked about it. Oh, that's bullshit. That's a lie. We voted hard. And so he just took an extra $2.5 million for his district, which a commissioner can assign themselves anyway. That's not for the mayor to dole out.

I was reelected overwhelmingly in 2019. No runoff, multiple candidates, double-digit win. My first raceβ Promised you wouldn't run for higher office and then ran for higher office.

And so in the last 10 months of my second term, after eight years in office, yeah, I decided to run for Congress. Seven years. I was quite frustrated. No, yeah, out of the full eight years, I left in the last 10 months. So, yes, I did run for Congress. If that's a sin for someone to go for higher office, then I'm guilty. But as far as the Mel Rees curse, that has yet to be written yet.

We're going to see how voters feel about that, because whether you believe they understood it or not, voters wanted soccer to come. There's a stadium that's halfway built now. Messi's in town. Beckham's here. There is an excitement about that. Messi will never play in that stadium. Probably right. But it's supposed to be done by next year.
