Coral Gables residents are preparing to elect a new mayor and two commissioners on April 8, with candidates presenting their visions. Michael Anthony Abbott advocates for eradicating corruption and smart growth, while incumbent Mayor Vince Lago emphasizes responsible development and community safety. Kirk Menendez, a longtime resident, critiques the heavy influence of special interests in politics. Each candidate highlights their unique experiences and vision for the city's future, focusing on maintaining the charm and character of Coral Gables amidst ongoing challenges.
Using my work experience, bring positive changes, including: 1) effective & efficient spending (more for less; cut spending not beneficial), 2) a beyond reproach mayoral candidate, seek to eradicate corruption.
I'm running for reelection to preserve Coral Gables' charm, protect residents and ensure transparent government. My priority is preserving character via responsible development, public safety and a resident-first approach.
As a lifelong resident of Coral Gables for 62 years, and as someone who has served our community for over 40 years, I have seen our city handed over to deep-pocket special interests by elected officials.
My background is rooted in lifelong public service, community engagement and responsible leadership. My service as mayor, vice mayor and commissioner has reinforced my commitment to this city.
