The field is set.<\/p>\n
Five residents, all committed to Key Biscayne, have declared their candidacy for the three vacant seats on the Village Council come November. We thank Claire London<\/a>, Fernando Vazquez<\/a>, Luis Lucho de la Cruz<\/a>, Oscar Sardi\u00f1as<\/a> and Silvia Tarafa for their commitment to not only preserving the island’s character but building upon it.<\/p>\n As the campaign gets going, Islander News will provide opportunities to get to know the candidates, starting with an “In My Own Words” essay in our Sept. 9 issue. Then at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 1, we will once again partner with the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce for the Village Council candidate debate, moderated by Steven Moll, vice provost emeritus at FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.<\/p>\n In our Oct. 7 issue, we will publish the general election’s sample ballot, so you can study the candidates and amendments.<\/p>\n Starting Oct. 1 through the Oct. 28 issue, we will publish your mini-endorsements on candidates and issues.<\/p>\n And remember: the deadline to register to vote is Oct. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The field is set.
