Miriam Masullo has opened a campaign bank account in Miami and recently recruited volunteer campaign workers during a visit to South Florida. She met with local Cuban-American activists and went on Spanish-language radio to drum up donations.
She plans to open a local campaign office next month.
Masullo has declared her candidacy for the U.S. Senate -- in Connecticut. But she's looking to raise money in South Florida's Cuban exile community.
The 55-year-old Republican and Cuban American has opened a campaign account to run for the seat held by Christopher Dodd, a Democrat and one of the leading Capitol voices pushing for normal U.S. relations with Cuba. (snip/...)
