North Miami Mayor Desulme Disqualified from November Re-Election Race
North Miami Mayor Alix Desulme has been disqualified from running for re-election this November after court records showed he used a cashier's check instead of a direct check from his campaign account to pay qualifying fees, and was 80 cents short. Miami-Dade County published a notice stating the remaining candidate is deemed elected by law, making the race unopposed. Desulme's attorney Benedict P. Kuehne said the mayor followed all requirements of the North Miami Code and accused his opponent of filing late to sabotage the election process. The mayor intends to appeal the ruling.
