Reports on other states and nations are available at http://escholarship.org/uc/ctcre_tcpmus. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From the 1970s through 2011, tobacco control advocacy in Florida was led by the local divisions of the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, and American Heart Association (tri-agencies), with the American Cancer Society as the dominant player. The tobacco industry used an extensive group of allies, campaign contributions and lobbying to try to block tobacco strong control policy in Florida through 2011. Between the 1987 and 2008 election cycles the tobacco industry spent $5.9 million in campaign contributions. From 2006 - 2010, the tobacco industry spent $6.3 - $11.7 million on legislative branch lobbying and $1.8 - $4.6 million on executive branch lobbying in Florida.

  • Rs and Ds Aren't Supposed to Matter in Local Races. That's Changing in Miami-Dade
    MIAMI-DADE COUNTY Rs and Ds aren't supposed to matter in local races. That's changing in Miami-Dade. BY DOUGLAS HANKS [email protected] June 22, 2018 09:41 PM Updated 19 minutes ago When Patricio Moreno filed his papers to run for a nonpartisan seat on the Miami-Dade County Commission this week, the local Democratic Party was by his side. Juan Cuba, the Democratic county chairman, said he helped recruit Moreno, a real estate agent from Doral, to challenge Jose "Pepe" Diaz, a Republican who has held the District 12 seat for 16 years. So Cuba joined his fellow Democrat for the trip to the county's Doral election headquarters on Tuesday to help Moreno qualify to run in what could be the latest clash between Republicans and Democrats in a local race where party affiliation isn't supposed to matter. "We want to make sure we're electing people who share our values," Cuba said. "Everyone comes in with their own perspective on how they see the world. Their choice of which party they align with is a very significant choice that any candidate makes. That's a big factor in how they approach issues." Miami-Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman won reelection to a final four-year term on Tuesday, June 19, when no other candidate filed to run against her in District 4. Five other commissioners face reelection campaigns against challengers. The bid to inject party labels into county races has met outrage from Republican leaders and resistance from most Democratic commissioners, who opted to stay out of a recent contest between a Republican and Democratic candidate for an open seat on the board.
