Right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Suarez, a two-term mayor, is the son of former Miami mayor Xavier Suarez.<\/p>\n<p> He is a registered Republican, but his government website employs a lot of buzzwords that appear designed to appeal to those of a more progressive mindset. It says the younger Suarez \u201clearned the values of inclusive, servant-leadership to drive economic prosperity, personal opportunity, fairness, equal rights, and reconciliation for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cFirst elected with a mandate of 86 percent and then re-elected with a mandate of nearly 79 percent, Mayor Suarez has championed the integration of climate adaptive policies, Web 3.0 technology, and a free-market approach to government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> He boasted to Politico about his record of reducing taxes, balancing the city\u2019s budget, and increasing police funding and lowering the crime and poverty rates.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cWhat we\u2019ve done in our city is a prototype for American success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p> Suarez shared a link to the Politico interview on his personal Twitter site.<\/p>\n<p> That drew a mixed reaction, with some offering encouragement, like \u201cYou have my vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> A few commented that it\u2019s a good idea, but not this time around.<\/p>\n<p>   Too early. We have 80 year olds dueling.<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) May 12, 2023<\/p>\n<p> Several indicated their opposition to his candidacy by making references to Suarez\u2019s involvement in the MiamiCoin cryptocurrency, which did not prove to be a financial boon for all investors.<\/p>\n<p> Several also responded to Schorsch\u2019s post about Suarez\u2019s impending campaign announcement with similar remarks.<\/p>\n<p>    \u201cGo away, RINO,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n<p> Suarez told Fox News if he runs, he would have to enter the race before August, when the network hosts the first Republican presidential primary debate.<\/p>\n<p> He elaborated on that for Politico: \u201cYou have five debates, which are the five great opportunities on a non-monetary basis to communicate with the country your ideas and your vision. You have to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Lorri Wickenhauser earned a journalism degree from California State University, Fresno, and has worked at news organizations in California and Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>   Lorri Wickenhauser earned a journalism degree from California State University, Fresno, and has worked at news organizations in California and Arizona. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Visit Advertiser websiteGO TO PAGE NEXT About Connatix \u00a0By Lorri Wickenhauser \u00a0May 16, 2023 at 4:01pm A prominent Florida political figure is believed to be just days away from launching a bid for the White House \u2014 but it isn\u2019t Ron DeSantis.
