Three of the top Miami-Dade mayoral candidates, Mayor Julio Robaina, Commissioner Carlos A.

In 1997, Mayor Robaina was elected Councilman for the City of Hialeah for a four year term and he was re-elected in 2001. In 2005, he was elected Mayor of the City of Hialeah. Carlos A. Gimenez, District 7, was first elected to the Miami-Dade Board of County in 2004 and was re-elected in 2008. Representative Marcelo Llorente, District 116, was elected to the House in 2002 and was subsequently re-elected.

“As an association, we are extremely invested in the future direction of our local communities and our State. As such, we are eager to provide a platform for Mayor Julio Robaina, Commissioner Carlos A. Gimenez and Representative Marcelo Llorente to communicate with our membership about their platforms for Miami-Dade County Mayor and plans for the future,” said Noelia E. Moreno, President, Latin Builders Association®. “All three of these individuals play an integral role in our community and we very much appreciate that they are coming to address our membership during this pivotal time.”
