Miami-Dade School Board appointee Mary Blanco touts GOP endorsements
Posted by Admin on Jun 30, 2024 | 0 commentsThe first mailer for Miami-Dade School Board District 7 went out last week, for Mary Blanco, an incumbent who has never gotten a vote in her life because she was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The ad touts endorsements from Lt. Gov. Jeannett Nuñez and Sen. Marco Rubio, because she is a political appointment, after all.
While this is officially a non-partisan seat, these are increasingly becoming very partisan. And Blanco’s mailer reflects that. Two of the three priorities identified are high on the state’s GOP agenda: Supporting school choice, which is a way to legally take funds from public schools for private schools — like the one Blanco works at — and “protecting female athletes,” which is code for anti-transgender policies.
