Joe’s Priorities for a Stronger Miami

Grounded in experience, focused on results, and driven by service—these are the pillars that will guide the next chapter for Miami.

  • Public Safety & Accountability

    From graduating the County Police Academy to becoming Florida’s youngest law enforcement officer, Joe’s foundation is safety, rule of law, and accountability to residents.

  • Protecting Heritage, Empowering Neighborhoods

    District 3 service centered on Calle Ocho and Little Havana—prioritizing seniors, small businesses, and vulnerable residents while strengthening neighborhood identity.

  • Opportunity Through Education

    Two FIU degrees—Criminal Justice (Administration) and International Relations (Psychology)—inform data-driven policy to open doors for Miami’s next generation.

  • Parks, Waterfronts & Public Spaces

    As Chair of Bayfront Park Management Trust, Joe elevated Bayfront Park and Maurice A. Ferré Park—restoring plazas and monuments and building new parks that bring Miami together.

  • Economic Vitality

    Experience as Mayor (two terms) and City Manager (Doral), plus private-sector consulting, to streamline services, support entrepreneurs, and attract world-class investment.

  • Leadership with Results

    Elected by peers to lead the Hemisphere’s Conference of Big City Mayors—proof of trust, collaboration, and vision beyond our borders.
