Online, in my office and on the dais, I work solely to ensure that my constituents and all the residents of Miami-Dade  County are served with excellence and that their quality of life is always improving.

As Chairman of the Community Empowerment & Economic Development Committee, I have worked with my fellow committee members to sponsor legislation that makes a difference in Miami-Dade County.  We have come a long way and have sparked new interest and pride in our community.

A challenge we are aggressively tackling and overcoming is the rebuilding of our community’s antiquated infrastructure.  Our outdated drainage system needs upgrading to better mitigate flooding problems facing our residents and local businesses.  These capital improvements will also make our area more appealing to new businesses relocating to Miami-Dade County.
