Florida’s Three Cuban Representatives Face Challenges

A discernible, though not massive, trend toward the Democratic Party among South Florida voters has also been evident among the state’s Hispanic voters and has led the Democrats to mount significant challenges to the state’s three Republican Cuban-American members of Congress, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

All three challengers, like the incumbents, are Latino. Alejandro Miyar, a spokesman for the Florida Democratic Party, says South Florida “is becoming more Democratic by the seconds. The voting record shows that, even in the Hispanic precincts.” He adds that 2008 “might be a year where, from the turn-out perspective, the Democratic challengers have to be taken seriously.””*
