Miami Young Republicans proudly endorses Emilio Gonzalez for Mayor of Miami.

Emilio Gonzalez is a steadfast Republican leader who will deliver a bold, conservative, resident-first vision to reform Miami's government.

Emilio will protect Miami from the destructive socialist policies pushed by his progressive opponents, like cashless bail, crippling tax hikes, defunding the police, divisive DEI mandates, and bloated bureaucracies filled with make-work jobs. These failed experiments have caused soaring crime, declining quality of life, and eroded trust in cities like San Francisco and Chicago. Miami must not follow this path.

Miami also faces a crisis of corrupt cronyism and abuse of power. City officials victimized the very people they are supposed to serve and protect, leaving residents and small businesses to pay the price and pick up the pieces.

With a track record of public service for our country, Emilio Gonzalez brings the integrity, energy, and ideas needed to tackle Miami’s biggest challenges: skyrocketing cost of living, public safety, neglected neighborhoods, unresponsive bureaucracy, and corruption. Recently, Emilio challenged the City Commission's egregious attempt to cancel elections, and he won, demonstrating true leadership and service for fellow residents.

The City of Miami needs a Colonel, Emilio Gonzalez, to whip the city government into shape and deliver the integrity, discipline, transparency, and competence that residents deserve.

Miami Young Republicans proudly endorses Rolando Escalona for City of Miami Commissioner District 3

Rolando Escalona is a conservative leader with a clear and compelling vision: safety, affordability, infrastructure. These are the priorities he will fight for on the Commission, and they’re the issues most residents of District 3 care about.

For too long, District 3 has been neglected. Left to crumble under failed leadership and recycled career politicians who’ve delivered little more than excuses. Rolando Escalona is offering something different: a new generation of leadership rooted in transparency, accountability, and results.

He’ll fight to:

• Fix crumbling roads, sidewalks, and drainage before approving new development.
• Support our police by hiring more officers, upgrading outdated tools, and restoring community patrols.
• Help small businesses thrive by revitalizing Calle Ocho and investing in Little Havana’s cultural identity.

His approach is rooted in unity and common sense. Whether it’s infrastructure, safety, or local business growth, Rolando believes in building first and then growing, not the other way around.

Miami’s District 3 deserves leadership with backbone, integrity, and a plan, that’s why we’re proud to support Rolando Escalona for City of Miami Commissioner in District 3.

Miami Young Republicans proudly endorses Javier Morejon for Hialeah City Council Group 4

Javier Morejon is a lifelong Hialeah resident and committed public servant who’s stepping up with a clear message: Hialeah deserves better. After more than 30 years living in the city, Javier understands the real issues residents face including skyrocketing utility bills, neglected roads, and a growing disconnect between City Hall and everyday families.

He brings real experience to the table. As former Chairman of the Hialeah Beautification Board and Vice-Chair of the Historic Preservation Board, he’s already delivered results by preserving local landmarks and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods. With a Bachelor's degree in Public Administration from FIU, he also has the training and expertise to manage budgets, contracts, and city operations the right way.

Javier Morejon is ready to:

• Fix Hialeah’s crumbling infrastructure before approving new development
• Fight wasteful spending and restore fiscal responsibility at City Hall
• Deliver transparency through open-door access and community-first decision making
• Support small businesses and protect the character and culture of Hialeah
• Prioritize public safety by investing in essential services and local patrols

He believes in clean campaigns and leadership that listens. Hialeah deserves leadership with integrity, discipline, and a plan to fix what’s broken. That’s why we’re proud to support Javier Morejon for Hialeah City Council, Group 4.

Emilio Gonzalez, a U.S. Army Colonel with 26 years of service, brings proven government leadership.

As former City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer of Miami, he managed 4,400 employees and a $1.7 billion budget, strengthening social services, boosting financial reserves, maintaining a low millage rate, delivering a leaner budget, and improving the city’s bond rating. As CEO of Miami International Airport, he led it during a time of record growth and improvement. As Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, he led 17,000 employees overseeing the nation’s immigration system. Recently, Emilio served on the Department of Homeland Security Transition Team for President Donald Trump.

Emilio's conservative policy platform:

• Reduce property taxes to help city residents survive the cost of living crisis.
• Create deregulation task force to streamline permitting & licensing.
• Prioritize neighborhood infrastructure: roads, drainage & flood prevention.
• Enhance public safety & increase police presence to combat crime.
• Root out corruption & hold accountable officials who abused power.
• Modernize city services with customer-first approach & better technology.
