On October 8, 2026, the Washington Park Voter’s Council hosted a Meet & Greet for the candidates running in the November 3, 2026 North Miami Beach municipal election.

Carpetbagging “candidate” Linda Joseph, showed up at 6:50 pm, nearly an hour late.

From the first words out of her mouth, it was apparent that all Linda cared about were making sure the city’s unionized employees were overcompensated, and showed zero interest in the taxpaying residents of North Miami Beach who would fund her personal agenda.

We compiled Linda’s seven bites at the apple as she answered questions posed by the moderator and present them to you in a single video.

Also, as expected, from the very first words she uttered, and throughout the entire eleven minutes of her word salad answers, she continuously lied from start to finish.

And as you might expect, we have the receipts.

We invite you to watch the clown show and read our commentary.  We would normally suggest you pop some corn.

But in this case, you might wanna have a bottle of bourbon at the ready and take part in the Linda Joseph Drinking Game.

When given the allotted two minutes to introduce herself, she immediately started out with, “I have, um, 25 glorious years of working in labor.  Not only I work in labor, I work in, um, national labor.  So I understand governance and I understand policies and legislation.  This is what I’ve done for the last 25 years is just make sure people understand their power, understand where they are, and understand how to make government work for you because you pay taxes.”

However, she was lying.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Online Public Disclosure Room, these are the individuals named “Linda Joseph” who work or have worked for SEIU:

• A person named Linda Joseph worked for SEIU Local 535 in Oakland, California in 2000 and 2001.
• Another Linda Joseph worked for SEIU Local 99 in Los Angeles, California from 2008 through 2011, continuously.
• A Linda Joseph worked for the now-dissolved SEIU Local 616 in Northern California in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
• A Linda Joseph worked for SEIU 1021 (which absorbed the Local 616) in Oakland, California in 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012.  It’s possible that this Linda Joseph is the same one who worked for SEIU 616 before the merger.
• A Linda O. Joseph worked for SEIU NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS in 2022.
• A Linda Joseph worked for SEIU LOCAL UNION (No number listed) for the years 2018, 2020, and 2022.  It appears that this is most likely the Linda Joseph who is the carpetbagging NMB “candidate.”
• A Linda Joseph also worked for SEIU NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS for the years 2023 and 2025, which may or may not be the same NMB carpetbagger.
• A Linda L. Joseph worked for SEIU NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS in 2024.  We doubt this is the same carpetbagging Linda Joseph due to the middle initial of “L,” however, we cannot rule her out without evidence that it is not her.

What this proves is that North Miami Beach carpetbagging “candidate” Linda Joseph was lying when she said that she’s had “25 glorious years of working in labor,” when in fact, she has only worked for SEIU as a “community organizer/campaign coordinator” since 2018 at the earliest, or for nine (9) years at best.

For the next minute and a half Linda claimed, “I sussessfully [sic] for the last five years as one of those agendas that I have is to raise minimum wage in this state.  And I worked that campaign for people who said I did not.  I did.  and I worked it with the union and that was by picking petitions from across the state because every politician we spoke to they would not raise minimum wage at the time it was $8.42 and the state of Florida says that’s what you can live on.  We thought different when I said we [unintelligible] labor union, single moms, families, we got together and we had a petition.  And yes they fought and they tried to and they tried to stop the petition.”

Linda also stated, “In 2016, I get a I get a call from the White House and from Joseph Robinette Biden said Florida got it right.”

Of course, we have already made a Public Records Request from the federal government for any and all correspondences and call logs between the White House and Linda Joseph in 2016.

We expect a response similar to the one from the Department of War’s “no records of the kind you described could be identified” when we requested a copy of the alleged “credentials and security clearances at the Pentagon”  that Linda Joseph claimed she had, which was “no records of the kind you described could be identified.”

However, in the event that Linda was not lying about getting a call from Biden, we will be sure to let you know.

In any event, there is no evidence that we could dig up to verify Linda Joseph’s claim that she had “25 glorious years of working in labor.”

Besides, we already know that she tried her hand at an actual job in the real world in 2008 when she opened a Wing Zone restaurant, only to fail spectacularly in 2012.

She did, however, manage to successfully get herself sued by her landlord for non-payment of rent, as well as another lawsuit by a food service vendor for stiffing them and writing worthless checks, and then losing a home for personally guaranteeing the lease.

Come to think of it, with her lack of real world skills it’s probably best that Linda stick with a do-nothing, make-work “job” like community organizing.

In the next vignette, the moderator asked Linda Joseph, “You work and travel on union business.  Understanding that you must be present and fully prepared to fulfill your duties to this city, if elected, how do you plan to handle these responsibilities alongside your current commitments?”

In response, Linda launched into a full blown, partially unintelligible, grammatically incorrect word salad.

Oh, absolutely. Um, I’ve done it before. I am on, um, a board with the city, um, and most of the commissioners have jobs and careers that and they supple and they work with the city. It’s once a month but I will have a staff. I will have organization. I will have people that can answer to me. I will never miss a commission meeting. I run my schedule. I run my schedule. I have an assistant and I decide if I want a [unintelligible]. I’ve, you know, built a career. I’ve got enough time where if I don’t want to travel, I won’t.

And if it comes to something to the city, I decide if I want to go out in the city.  So, yeah, infrastructure will be in place.  I will have an office.  I would have an assistant.  And that’s how operation work.  It should not work cuz you always there. It should be already automatically working. And that’s how I work. So yes, I would definitely have time, capacity, and mental to be [unintelligible] your next commissioner. Thank you.

Instead of going on to the next candidate, the moderator, who by now we rightly suspected was on Team Linda (trust us, we have those receipts, too) interjected by not asking, but emphatically stating, “So NMB will be your priority.”

And of course, Linda had a response at the ready.

Oh, absolutely.  This is a commitment.  Not only priorities, commitment with health.  This is a labor of love.  I use my own money to run this campaign.  Okay?  I put my own money, my own time.  I studied for this.  I educated myself for this. And that’s why I’m here today.  And I would make I will make North Miami Beach my [unintelligible].  Thank you.

What Linda did not say, is that between questions, she continuously studied her phone, and educated herself by consulting ChatGPT for what she must have hoped were coherent responses.

Moving right along.

The moderator, who also does not live in North Miami Beach, asked the next question about her video and flyers, in which Linda claims she is a “lifelong resident of ‘our’ city, yet you changed your voter registration just one year ago from your home in Biscayne Gardens where you lived forever for 20 years. Please explain.”

Linda bobbled her head as the question was being asked.  While she avoided answering it directly, and responding with her typical meaningless drivel.

In the video it says I live right here grew up right here in this area because I do, I did grow up in Miami. I am from Little Haiti and I did transition. I live this city. I love this city. I love the diversity of the city. I see the potential for this city. I see what we can do. We got 46,000 people in this city. There’s so much more we can do. The last couple of years, there’s nothing moving. It’s like the city is dying. There is no activities. We have no uh, uh community center. We do not have anything that attracts people here. I am tired of seeing the city that people just drive through but not stay. There’s a lot of things. There’s a lot of things we can put into our city. We need a corridor. We need a downtown. We can annex the, the, uh, uh 163rd Street. It’s not being used. So, there’s things we can do. There’s places that [unintelligible]. That’s why I chose no [unintelligible]. And if you listen to the tape, you said I was raised right here I was born right there. I was talking about [unintelligible]. I am a child of [unintelligible]. Thank you.

If that wasn’t a tough enough question for Lyin’ Linda to answer, the next one should have made her nervous.  The fact that she jumped up and appeared to be overly eager to respond makes us wonder if “someone” didn’t already feed her the question in a Donna Brazille-like fashion.

The moderator asked, “Okay. So, back to Miss Joseph. The first time you spoke at a North Beach Commission meeting, you stated that this was this was your … this is your city and that you voted for …”

Linda bobbed her head and blurted out, “Michael Joseph,” knowing full well where this was going.

The moderator continued, “Michael Joseph. That was in May of 2023. And you weren’t a citizen of NMB. Please clarify your statement that night.

Linda jumped up and emphatically stated, “Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. That was a great question.”

Looking at the moderator, Linda asked, “You said 2023?” who responded with, “Yes, ma’am.”

Get ready for the most political, nonsensical non-answer you will ever hear slithering off the forked tongue of an aspiring “elected” official anywhere.

“So, that’s how long I’ve been involved in government in North Miami Beach. That’s terrifying. One, two, the reason I spoke that morning that day is because I was utterly upset and disgusted about what I saw was happening. I saw a duly elected mayor being persecuted and being taunted and being tortured, uh, uh, treated unfairly and he was duly elected by the community. And so that’s when I went to speak for him. And if I did say I voted for him that was error at my point.”

“But, but I was there to defend him and defend his seat and defend the seat of the mayor when he is elected. He needs to be respected and he needs to be treated with dignity.”

At that point, actual residents in the audience tried to remind Linda that Michael “Contempt of Congress” Joseph was not the mayor in 2023, a FACT that Linda promptly ignored because she is allergic to the truth.

Linda then screamed:

“THAT’S WHY I SAID IT!”

In essence, she flat out lied that she voted for Michael “Contempt of Congress” Joseph because she was there to defend him.

Oh, okay.

By now, the real Linda Joseph reared her ugly head and she screamed even louder.

“A EX! A EX COMMISSIONER WAS COMING AFTER HIM AND THEY TOOK HIS NAME OFF AFTER WE ELECTED HIM!”

At that point, former Commissioner Barbara Kramer had to remind the audience that she wasn’t even office in 2023.

But, Linda Joseph is so rabid and so jealous of Barbara Kramer that her head was about to explode.

The last three questions Linda responded to were equally nonsensical and filled with lies and fairy tales.

She claimed that she was going to be transparent, yet she absolutely refuses to respond to all the lies she’s publicly told that we have exposed.

She promised to be fiscally responsible, yet she has been the defendant in multiple foreclosures, evictions, and non-payment of debt lawsuites, and she has even filed for bankruptcy.

But the one thing that Linda was perfectly honest about is that she intends to represent “unions” and not the residents.

In her response the final question asked, Linda emphatically stated:

“Absolutely! Not only we going to have the union we’re going to strengthen the union. This administration has tried to weaken unions and try to make them less effective not give them everything they need. In other words, when I am your commissioner I will strengthen the union. That’s how middle class people get into the class. That’s how families get into the class is through unions and through um, um working for public sector. And that’s one of the reason why they’re trying to [unintelligible] remove public sector. So absolutely unions are the way to go. Now they are they are polling at 72%, people prefer unions.”

Spoken like a true Marxist!

As a “Democratic Socialist,” Linda is fundamentally incapable of grasping the concept that the “public sector” does not generate income on its own without being funded by taxpayers who do generate income in the private sector.

While far left organizations, such as the Center for American Progress, claim that “72 percent of Americans aged 18 to 34 approve of labor unions,” the non-partisan Pew Research Center presents data showing that “55% of Americans say labor unions positively affect the country, while 41% say they have a negative impact.”

Regardless of where you stand on the political/union side of the debate, if Linda Joseph was a serious “candidate” (as well as a bona fide resident of the city), she would inherently know that the best interests of the residents come first — even before the contract negotiations of the city’s employees.

Cities are incorporated to provide services to the taxpayers, not to act as an employment agency.

However, Linda Joseph is someone who has absolutely no idea how to keep a business running and thriving.  It stands to reason that she’s latched on to the idea that “organizing” a community is a viable career, as opposed to an actual profession that produces goods and provides services that improve the lives of people all over America.

North Miami Beach residents deserve better!
