Coral Gables Commissioner Melissa Castro is weighing legal action after alleging that Mayor Vince Lago used political campaign funds to employ social‑media operatives to launch attacks against her. The claim was made public on Oct. 28, 2026, in Coral Gables, Florida.
The commissioner says the mayor directed campaign money toward an online smear effort, prompting the potential lawsuit. The dispute involves city officials and centers on the alleged misuse of political funds for the alleged campaign.
