BREAKING: Bryan Avila Wins, Libertarians Lose No. 2 Spot at Miami-Dade GOP
Submitted by Kevin Derby on May 9, 2013 - 8:25pm
In a major setback to the rising libertarian wing of the Miami-Dade County Republican Executive Committee, lifelong conservative Republican Byran Avila has just been elected vice chairman of the local party.
Avila, 28, an English Professor at Miami-Dade College, beat financial manager Manny Roman (a grassroots libertarian activist and GOP newcomer) by a vote of 61 to 49.
The race was seen in some quarters as a proxy battle for the future direction of the Miami-Dade GOP, which is one of the Republican Party of Florida's largest county affiliates.
