Miami-Dade County Commissioner René García has formally withdrawn from the Hialeah mayoral race, choosing to remain on the County Commission during challenging budget times. Initially, García filed to run for mayor in March, but his comments suggested uncertainty about his candidacy. He affirmed that public service prioritizes community needs over political titles. While García's withdrawal leaves the race open, several candidates, including Councilman Jesus Tundidor and former Councilman Bryan Calvo, are still vying for the mayoral position, indicating a competitive election ahead.
As Miami-Dade County faces a difficult budget year, now is not the time to step away. Public service is not about chasing titles; it’s about answering the call to serve where you are most needed.
Many saw Garcia as a natural contender for Hialeah mayor - and he was publicly endorsed by former Mayor Esteban Bovo as the strongest candidate.
