Greetings Democrats. My name is Javi Estevez, and currently serve as Legislative Liaison for the Miami-Dade Democratic Party

The 2019 Florida Legislative Session is here.  I have created a Legislative Tracker to highlight bills that we should keep an eye on. I have made it with a focus on our local Representatives and Senators to make sure that we give them the support that they need. Also, I have added what we will call “bad bills” that are highlighted in red and we need to fight against. 

The City of Coral Gables will hold a general election on Tuesday, April 09, 2019 to elect a Mayor and one Commissioner. The mayoral race, to serve a two-year term, is a rematch between current Mayor Raul Valdes-Fauli and former Commissioner Jeannett Slesnick. The 2016 election was decided by fewer than 200 votes.

With no incumbent, there are four (4) individuals vying for the Commissioner seat which has a 4-year term. The election is conducted on a non-partisan basis

"With more Venezuelans fleeing the Maduro regime, we need to ensure that refugees are being welcomed in the United States. The ongoing crisis in their country has caused thousands of Venezuelans to seek asylum here, and it’s imperative that President Trump extend TPS (Temporary Protection Status) to Venezuelans in the US, as well as provide fair asylum proceedings. We are committed to advocate for protecting Venezuelans in our community."
