Santana Moss to hold fundraiser for Miami-Dade commissioner

A big name in sports was scheduled to hold a fundraiser for Miami-Dade Commissioner Barbara Jordan this weekend: pro football star Santana Moss.

Moss, a wide receiver for the Washington Redskins, grew up in Carol City, which is in Jordan’s commission district.

Jordan is one of four commissioners up for reelection who are being targeted for defeat by wealthy auto magnate Norman Braman. She has already drawn an opponent, Wade Jones.

“Santana believes that children deserve the opportunity for academic achievement that enables them to realize their potential,” a press release for the event said. “So does Barbara Jordan.”

The cocktail reception was scheduled for Saturday night at the Kyma Lounge at the posh Epic Hotel in downtown Miami. Tickets cost $100.
