South Florida Election Day Tuesday Ballot Races and Measures
A New Times roundup previews South Florida races ahead of Election Day Tuesday, including Miami-Dade County's Referendum 3 on a proposed 75-year lease of Virginia Key waterfront including Rickenbacker Marina to a private equity-backed operator. In Broward County, Davie District 3 candidates include Toula Amanna, under investigation by the Broward County Sheriff's Office over a Facebook post, and Jordan Nelson, charged with DUI after allegedly crashing into a guardrail at Hiatus Road and Orange Drive. Statewide contests feature the governor's race with Byron Donalds, Florida Senate between Angie Nixon and Ashley Moody, and Amendment 3 on property tax reductions. Dallas-based Suntex and RCI Group spent over $2 million supporting Referendum 3, with spending linked to Big Tuesday Media and social media influencers.
