Disgraced Republican lawmaker planted no-party candidate in key Senate race

Frank Artiles boasted that he planted a no-party candidate in the Miami-Dade Senate race. Artiles recruited Alexis (Alex) Rodriguez, a longtime acquaintance and Facebook friend.
miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
“The no-party candidate with the same surname as the incumbent Democrat had been a registered Republican until just before his qualifying papers were filed to make him a candidate for the Florida Senate. He received 6,382 votes in the election.”

“Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"
“— a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, **disease,** and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?”
“Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it.”
