Village of Palmetto Bay Vice Mayor, John Dubois, announced his candidacy for Miami-Dade County Commissioner for District 8, following current Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava’s decision to run for Miami-Dade Mayor last week.
“Our County government has failed its residents in many ways, particularly in Southern Miami-Dade where, despite the region’s continued growth, promises made to alleviate our congested roads and highways by adopting mass transit solutions such as the expansion of Metrorail or the implementation of Light Rail have simply not been met,” – declared Mr. Dubois.
“It is my intention to bring my years of experience in the private and public sectors to address not only this critically important issue, but tackle the many pressing problems affecting our community ” – added Mr. Dubois
Vice Mayor Dubois’ commitment and priority are the residents of District 8. Therefore, in this spirit, Mr. Dubois has decided to invest in the community he cares about by self-funding his campaign for the County Commission with an initial deposit of one million dollars.
