Sorry Scott Israel, Stacy Ritter Prefers “THE One & Only Sheriff” Al Lamberti

Russ Klenet and Stacy Ritter

During any political season, campaigns crave free media coverage. Name recognition and public awareness are key to winning local elections. Some Democrat insiders are scratching their heads over the latest “Coffee With Stacy” video featuring Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter (D-Booby Trap) and Sheriff Al Lamberti. Sheriff Al is running against Scott Israel (D-Sorry Louis).

Stacy’s cozy “special occasion” chat with Lamberti was recorded before a big crowd at the Tamarac Diner. Ritter introduced him several times as “THE Sheriff” and “THE One and only Sheriff”. Ritter even moderated a Q&A with the audience and Lamberti.

Here is her description of the video on YouTube:

“Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter hosts a Coffee with Stacy at the Tamarac Cafe & Diner with Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti. Al explains a lot of the background information about the BSO, what they handle, their budget and his background.”

Republicans applauded Lamberti’s appearance with the controversial Ritter. “Ritter’s supporters see Al with Stacy and assume she is backing him,” said one Republican operative. “Kudos to Al. He reaches out to all voters.”

Ritter is drawing some negative feedback on Facebook over this video. She is trotting out the old “public service” excuse.

For once we agree with the dancing commissioner. Al Lamberti is Broward’s best choice for sheriff.

Sorry Scott and Amy. Better take some sponges over to King’s Point a.s.a.p.

Is Jared Moskowitz Backing Robert Sutton Over Stacy Ritter In Commission Race?

When local high school kids got together to honor one of their favorite teachers, they probably didn’t expect to meet Jared Moskowitz, son of Broward Democrat mega-insider Michael Moskowitz. The group gathered at Wings Plus to hear from “Teacher of the Year” Robert Sutton. Mr. Sutton is the Republican candidate for Broward County Commission District 3 seat. He is challenging the incumbent Stacy Ritter(D-Booby Trap).

At first some thought Moskowitz was lost; He doesn’t live in the Florida House District 97 for which he is running. Moskowitz was accompanied by Republican Coral Springs Commissioner Larry Vignola. The mere thought of Moskowitz supporting Sutton over Ritter would send shockwaves all over Broward.

In a recent BrowardBeat.com story, Moskowitz proclaimed to be a “moderate Democrat”. Sutton has significant grassroots support from Republicans, Independents and even Democrats in District 97. Even though Sutton is a friend and supporter of Jim Gleason, Moskowitz’s Republican opponent, it is possible Moskowitz and Vignola were hoping to attract that same support.

Michael Moskowitz is a neighbor of Ritter and her lobbyist husband Russ Klenet. He has been her lawyer. She ran to the Moskowitz house when her father chased her with a gun.

Ritter’s stranglehold on District 3 has been weakened by numerous scandals and her overwhelming support of Barack Obama. In 2008, Ritter, chair of the Obama campaign in Broward, held a fundraiser for the Obama in her Parkland estate.

Maybe Jared heard Stacy and Russ didn’t bother to vote in August for friends Ilene Lieberman and Nick Steffens.
