Miami Young Republicans proudly support 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.
