It may come as a surprise to some that the most popular person at a Republican fundraiser in Coral Gables Friday was not the gubernatorial candidate who was the guest of honor.
Instead, heads turned when Miami native Armando Christian Pérez, who most know as Pitbull, posted a photo with Gov. Rick Scott, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and state Rep. Erik Fresen to his Twitter account, which said:
Proud to meet and discuss Florida’s future with Governor @scottforflorida LG @lopezcantera and Rep @ErikFresenFL pic.twitter.com/Pe80CSNEw1

Voting records show Pitbull is registered to vote in Miami-Dade County, without political-party affiliation, according to the Miami Herald.
The response was overwhelmingly positive: Â
