A special election for the position of Florida State Senate District 40 was held on September 26, 2017. Democrat Annette Taddeo, Republican Jose Felix Diaz, and independent Christian “He-Man” Schlaerth ran in the special election. Annette Taddeo won with 51.0 percent of the vote, flipping the seat from Republican to Democratic control.

There was a special primary election on July 25, 2017. Jose Felix Diaz won the Republican primary and Annette Taddeo won the Democratic primary.[3][4]

The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was May 31, 2017.[5] Candidates who successfully filed to run in this election were Republicans Jose Felix Diaz, Alex Diaz de la Portilla, and Lorenzo Palomares; Democrats Ana Rivas Logan, Steve Smith, and Annette Taddeo; and independent Christian “He-Man” Schlaerth.[6] Smith withdrew from the race on June 6, 2017, after the Miami Herald reported that he had not been registered as a Democrat for at least a year before running, contradicting the oath he took when he filed to run.[7]

The seat became vacant following the resignation of Republican Frank Artiles. Artiles resigned on April 21, 2017, following a exchange where he used a racial slur in front of two black state senators, Audrey Gibson (D) and Perry Thurston (D).

Expand all | Collapse all

I’m Annette Taddeo, a proud immigrant born in Colombia and the daughter of an American WWII and Korean War veteran. I moved to the U.S. after my father was kidnapped by FARC guerrillas in Colombia, where I worked my way through college and built my own successful business, LanguageSpeak, named one of the Top 100 Minority Owned Small Businesses in Florida. In 2017, I made history as the first Latina Democrat in the Florida Senate, where I fought for the people of Miami-Dade, particularly during the pandemic. I was reelected and served in the Florida Senate until 2022, cutting through partisan noise to deliver results and put residents first. Now, I’m running for Miami-Dade Clerk of Court and Comptroller to continue my commitment to transparency, accountability, and ensuring every taxpayer dollar is protected.
  • I have a proven track record of public service, advocating for small business owners and fighting against government corruption to deliver results for Miami-Dade families. As your Clerk and Comptroller, my promise is simple- I will always work for you, and only you!
  • As Miami-Dade Clerk of Court and Comptroller, I will prioritize transparency, accessibility, and accountability in our justice system, ensuring residents’ tax dollars are protected and efficiently managed.
  • I bring decades of experience as a business owner and state senator, with a commitment to cutting through partisan noise and focusing on delivering real solutions for our community.
I am deeply passionate about ensuring that every person has a voice in public policy, a value I inherited from my father, a proud Veteran who taught me the importance of serving the community. This belief was solidified when I moved to Alabama and faced racism and xenophobia while running for College Secretary at The University of Alabama. That experience shaped my commitment to fighting for inclusion and equality. Throughout my political career, I have been driven by the desire to advocate for those who have been overlooked and to protect the rights and well-being of all individuals, ensuring that no one is left out of the conversation.
This office plays a unique and vital role in both state government and the legal system by overseeing the court system and safeguarding Miami-Dade's $12 billion budget. Its responsibilities require a balance of financial expertise and legal understanding, ensuring that court operations run smoothly while managing public funds with transparency and accountability. The Comptroller position is especially vital for Miami-Dade’s residents, as I will serve as the guardian of our budget, making sure that the money stays in Miami and isn’t sent to Tallahassee, where we rarely see it returned.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, worked throughout his administration to unite a country that was torn apart by civil war, beloved for his humble nature and quiet leadership style he changed the course of history when he freed the slaves from the confederacy.
Transparency, Accountability, and Hard-working values.
First and foremost, I have a strong commitment to transparency and accountability, which are essential for building public trust. My experience as a Business Owner for over 30 years has honed my financial expertise, allowing me to manage complex budgets effectively. Additionally, as a former State Senator I am a dedicated advocate for the community, always prioritizing the needs of residents and ensuring their voices are heard. My leadership skills enable me to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and foster a culture of integrity within the office. Together, these qualities equip me to serve Miami-Dade effectively and responsibly.
The core responsibilities for someone elected to this office are being accountable and transparent with taxpayers. Overseeing and managing the court system, as well as safeguarding Miami-Dade’s $12 billion budget, demands a dedicated public servant, not someone driven by political agendas. This role requires ensuring that every action is carried out with integrity, prioritizing the public’s trust and maintaining the highest standards of transparency in handling both the justice system and taxpayer dollars.
In 1984 I fled from Colombia to the US after my father was kidnapped by FARC —an extremist Colombian guerrilla group, an experience shared by many Colombians during that turbulent time. In 1985, another extremist group, M19, stormed the Palace of Justice—which remains among the most iconic events in modern Colombian history—left the building largely destroyed and resulted in the disappearances of over a dozen civilians and the deaths of nearly one hundred civilians, including eleven Supreme Court justices.

This attack on the Supreme Court encapsulates the violent era that defined Colombia in the latter part of the 20th century, a period I lived through firsthand and vividly remember. These experiences have deeply shaped my perspective on justice, resilience, and the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions.
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It is so much more than a novel from a Colombian author set in Colombia. It is a novel that explores solitude, boundaries and human desires, while also having some amazing political tones. Furthermore, it taught Western readers tolerance for other perspectives and experiences.
I was born with a bilateral cleft lip. When you are born without lips you can't feed on your mother’s breast milk. It's hard to learn to speak. The children at school cruelly mocked me. They told me that I was not "normal" and that I could never be "normal". I had 19 surgeries so that today I am fully fluent in two languages. People often ask me how come I am always smiling, and I tell them, because I couldn’t as a child, and anyway, the reason my smile is beautiful today, is not because of the surgeries, it’s because it comes from within.
One of the lesser-known but important powers of the Comptroller is the authority to withhold payments if there are suspicions of mismanagement or wrongdoing in county projects. In addition to managing the county's finances, the Comptroller oversees the growth of public funds through strategic investments in the financial and stock markets, ensuring responsible stewardship. Essentially, this position serves as the CFO of the county, with the crucial responsibility of safeguarding taxpayer dollars and ensuring they are spent wisely and transparently.
Yes, having previous experience in government or politics is highly beneficial for the holder of this office. Managing Miami-Dade’s $12 billion budget and overseeing the court system requires a deep understanding of public service, financial management, and human resources experience managing large teams . My background as a State Senator has given me experience in navigating complex government systems and advocating for transparency and accountability. It’s crucial that the Comptroller can effectively collaborate with other government officials while prioritizing the best interests of taxpayers. Experience in public service ensures that the office is run efficiently, free from political agendas, and focused on the needs of the community.
The most helpful skills for holders of this office are financial expertise, managerial knowledge, and strong leadership abilities. As the Comptroller manages Miami-Dade’s $12 billion budget and oversees court operations, a deep understanding of public finance and budgeting is essential for ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Managerial knowledge is crucial for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the office and ensuring effective management of resources and personnel. Additionally, leadership skills are necessary to maintain transparency, uphold accountability, and ensure that the office operates efficiently in the best interest of the public.

I believe that financial transparency and government accountability are essential to maintaining public trust. As someone seeking to manage Miami-Dade’s $12 billion budget, I am committed to ensuring that every dollar is tracked and reported clearly, so taxpayers know exactly how their money is being spent. Government officials must be open and accountable in their actions, prioritizing the public’s best interests over political agendas. I have vowed to publish an Annual Report to outline the County finances in easy to understand terms to highlight how your tax dollars are managed, invested and spent.

The following issues were listed on Taddeo's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Climate Change: Climate change has real, costly, and dangerous effects here in South Florida. In Congress, I'll make fighting for solutions to climate change a top priority.
  • Immigration Reform: Immigration reform should reward hard work and keep families together. I understand the challenges and emotional struggles migrating families face, and I will fight for long overdue comprehensive immigration reform.
  • Gun Violence: Today in America, too many Florida children and parents are at risk of falling victim to the gun violence that plagues too many of our communities. It is long past time that we take action to keep our families safe.[13]

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
