Lincoln Diaz-Balart will NOT seek reelection
In a noon press conference today, Lincoln Diaz-Balart announced he will NOT seek reelection of his congressional seat, which he has held since first elected in 1992. Reports also state that Lincoln’s brother, Mario, will seek his seat leaving open his own (Mario’s) District 25 seat. Lincoln’s District 21 seat is considered more republican and therefore a safer seat for brother Mario who beat Joe Garcia by a slim majority in a tight 2008 reelection for the younger Diaz-Balart.
At this point, nobody is really sure why Lincoln has decided to forego reelection. During his announcement at Florida International University (FIU), Diaz-Balart said he will return to the practice of law. What is his next political step? Will he dedicate all of his time to the Cuba cause? Is there a possible scandal in the offing? All are questions being bandied about. What follows are links to several Lincoln Diaz-Balart resigning stories.
