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.”
