In June 2024, Miami's political dynasties saw significant donations. Keon Hardemon's committee received $48,250 and his PACs took in $254,500. Raquel Regalado's committee got $22,000, while her father's committee received $7,900. Carlos Gimenez and Joe Martinez also received substantial donations. Some family members, like Monique Barley-Mayo, have not reported any funds raised.

The FBI recently raided the home and office of Miami-Dade builder Sergio Pino, amidst a toxic divorce proceeding. We track Sergio Pino's history of political donations to some of Miami's biggest political dynasties.

Miami politics has long been influenced by powerful families, resembling more of a monarchy than a democracy. The Carollos, Regalados, The Suárez family, Diaz de la Portillas, Hardemons, and Gimenezes dominate the political scene, facing numerous allegations of corruption and ethical misconduct. This concentrated power raises concerns about fairness and the true function of democracy in local governance.
