Several political figures in Miami are embroiled in financial misconduct allegations. Lubby Navarro, a former Miami-Dade School Board member, pleaded not guilty to public corruption charges for allegedly using a school board-issued credit card to cover several thousands of dollars of personal expenses, including vacations, gift cards, and expensive items. Bilal Mahmood, a candidate for District 5 supervisor, is accused of illegally spending thousands from his DCCC campaign on his supervisor campaign. A Super PAC supporting Miami Mayor Francis Suarez's failed presidential bid paid a fundraising consultant $2.2 million, more than the PAC raised. Former Miami Commissioner Sabina Covo is under investigation for allegations of 'remuneration by candidate for services, support, etc., and bribery,' following an executive order from Gov. DeSantis, who moved the case to Broward due to Miami-Dade SAO’s close ties with a witness. James Torres, a former District 2 commission candidate, claimed Covo offered him a job in exchange for his endorsement.
