Broward County
WHAT A MONTH
The Rev. Josh Brown of Hallandale Beach had one rough month in March.
First, he thought he had been elected as the new president of the
Broward County chapter of the Democratic Party’s Black Caucus. The
organization’s grievance committee, however, determined that election
was unauthorized and therefore unsanctioned. Now, the widely
circulated rumor that he managed Barbara Sharief’s successful campaign
for a Miramar city commission seat turns out to be, well, just that.
This week, Sharief said Brown was simply one of many people who
performed campaign tasks, but he in no way was her campaign manager,
and that she has asked him to cease and desist, if he has in fact been
stating that he is her campaign manager.
