MIAMI - PennZone -- Barbara Casanova is pleased to announce her candidacy for REC State Committeewoman. Ms. Casanova comes from a family with a long political history in Miami-Dade and Washington, DC. Her father, Jose Manuel Casanova, was a former Chairman of the Miami-Dade GOP. Both her father and mother, Alicia Labrit Casanova, were presidential Appointees under President Ronald Reagan and George H. Bush Sr. She learned about politics, campaigning, and advocacy at her parent's side early and followed in her parent's footsteps.

"I've spent half my life in Washington, DC, and half my life in Miami, but like so many, I returned to Maimi for the last time during the pandemic to be closer to family. I was shocked and saddened to find the state of affairs in the Miami-Dade government and the Miami-Dade GOP. The executive board treats the REC like a club, and every time new members with new ideas attempted to get involved, they were treated as infiltrators. They prefer to keep the status quo to protect their titles instead of investing in its members and teaching them to be influential leaders for the GOP. This is no way to grow the GOP and elect Republicans to office," stated Ms. Casanova.
