JOE SANCHEZ IS RUNNING FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COMMISSION DISTRICT 5

I STAND WITH THE LONGTIME SERVANT – WHO GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS A SENIOR POLICY ADVISOR WHEN WAS A MIAMI CITY COMMISSIONER


I stand with Joe Sanchez — the People’s Commissioner — for Miami Dade County District 5.

I have been a proud resident of this district for a quarter century.

I also had the rare privilege of working the better part of a decade as Joe’s policy advisor with the City Of Miami.

I was proud when Joe Sanchez listed a few of the people-centered initiatives that we completed when he was a Miami Commissioner.

He could have listed dozens.

All embraced our diverse population and were done for people—not partisan politics.

Far more than 100 people stood shoulder-to-shoulder to support Joe Sanchez for Miami-Dade County Commissioner.

The lifelong public servant spoke from the heart about fighting corruption, reducing taxes, increasing, homeownership affordability

A packed house of diverse community members attended Joe Sanchez for Miami-Dade County Commissioner District 5 campaign kickoff this month.

The county commissioners robbed us of the democratic process when they appointed a person to the position.

We get to vote on who represent us in August 2026.

CONGRATULATIONS EILEEN HIGGINS

A PROGRESSIVE LEADER IN DISTRICT 5 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO DECADES
We are proud to have voted for a Miami-Dade Commission candidate who will lead for the people -- not for lobbyists, developers, vendors and other insiders.

From one Ohio (Akron) native who speaks Spanish (barely) to another, kudos.

If you ever need advice on universal design, inclusive mobility or creating a better built environment for people with disabilities, please reach out to me.

My 30 years as a journalist, policy advisor and urban design communicator have all been dedicated to making things the best for those who need improvements the most.

From Casa Gringo (at the southwest corner of Bryan Park that we fought fiercely to protect from development), to La Gringa, felicidades.
