Rosario Kennedy

Rosario Arguelles y Freyre de Andrade (Rosario Kennedy) is a Cuban American politician, lawyer, advocate, and special interest lobbyist. She was the first Cuban American woman to hold any elected office in the city of Miami. She was the former Vice Mayor of the City of Miami and candidate for Florida's 18th congressional district in the 1989 special election to replace Claude Pepper that was eventually won by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Currently, she is a lobbyist representing special interests in Miami, and a member of the law firm "Rosario Kennedy and Associates." In her government consulting, she claims to have "insider knowledge of the city of Miami and Miami-Dade County."

In 1997, Kennedy was involved in a situation in Miami known as "Stallone Gate," because her client was Sylvester Stallone.

In 2007, Kennedy's business paid Carey-Schuler $75,000. This money came from Kennedy's involvement in a proposed luxury condominium that was never built, and was the subject of a criminal investigation by the state attorney's office.

Recently, Kennedy's firm represented the residents of Grove Isle in fighting the development of a new condominium, but they were unsuccessful, and now the condominium complex occupies most of the real estate on the small island.
