Momentum Builds for Steve Bovo Campaign
BOVO WINS THE ENDORSEMENT OF ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN
“I am so honored to offer my endorsement of Esteban “Steve” Bovo for Mayor of Miami-Dade County. Steve is a man of integrity which he demonstrates through his unwavering support for our veterans, our military and law enforcement officers, and his commitment to our Holocaust survivors. You can find Steve everyday caring for our community – whether at a food distribution site or providing masks and sanitizer to those less fortunate in Miami Dade – Steve is a hands on, solution and action focused legislator. His vision for our county is clear – help small businesses, no increased taxes, and preserve our natural resources that contribute to our local economy.”

BOVO’S VISION
I am running for Mayor of Miami-Dade County because politics cannot continue to be above the priorities of the taxpayer. Business as usual at county hall can’t continue for Miami-Dade to prosper and our citizens to have the quality of life they deserve. My candidacy is based on conservative principles to protect taxpayer dollars, ensure transparency, fairness, and fiscal responsibility. Make no mistake, my administration will not serve the interests of the extreme liberals that are looking to redefine America and in the process increase Miami-Dade government on the back of its taxpayers.
As a County Commissioner, I have successfully pushed through some reforms but many more are needed. I’ve fought for real change, at times being the lone voice. In the “Accomplishments” section of this site you will see a full list, but I’ll share some highlights here. I am proud of spearheading the effort to finally approve term limits for the county commission and of sounding the alarm on how contracts are awarded at Miami International Airport in a corrupt manner. I worked to reform County Employee Benefits and Retirement to reflect fairness and equity in what taxpayers can afford.
“Steve Bovo will champion issues and principles to ensure transparency, fairness, fiscal responsibility and protect taxpayers.”
