Former City Manager of another Miami-Dade County municipality.
30+ year resident of our city, and 20+ years in our district, where he and his wife raised their three children.
Graduated from Princeton University, studied City Planning and obtained a dual Master’s in Public Policy & Urban Planning.
Deep local roots — a neighbor, not part of a political dynasty.

Part of the broken system that has cost taxpayers like you over $63 million.¹
Never held any positions in our community outside political appointments.²
Previously led the City of Miami’s Building Department — one of the city’s most developer- connected agencies.

Professor at FIU and the University of Miami.
Top Latino Leader by Latino Leaders Magazine.
Former Chairman of the Miami Forever Bond Citizens’ Oversight Board, promoting transparency and fiscal responsibility.

Collected over $150,000 a year in taxpayer-funded salary while working as a City Hall bureaucrat.³
Worked in the City of Miami’s Building Department when the city collected over $76 million in excessive building permit fees.⁴
Oversaw a permitting system that rubber- stamped approvals for politically connected developers, ignored violations, and left neighborhoods vulnerable to unchecked development.⁵

City of Miami Fraternal Order of Police.
City of Miami’s frontline workers.
Our neighbors.
Trusted by those who keep our city running — not by those looking to sell it out.

Fight for taxpayers, not special interests.
Lower property taxes and provide much needed relief to seniors.
Keep our neighborhoods safe, standing with local police and emergency services.
Bring a community-first vision: traffic relief, green spaces, infrastructure, and flood protection — not unchecked density.
End backroom deals and start to put residents first.

Continue the same approach that led to unchecked development in City Hall.⁷
No stance on lowering taxes or providing relief for seniors.⁸
Weaken tree protections, having already opposed efforts to strengthen the city’s tree ordinance to side with developers.⁹
Protect the status quo — offering no real solutions for flooding, traffic, or neighborhood preservation.¹⁰
Advance the interests of lobbyists and insiders, just as he did while working in the Building Department.¹¹
