Hialeah city council appoints 86-year-old to fill seat vacated by mayor's opponent
Briefly

Juan Francisco Junco stated, 'The opportunity came, and right now what matters most to me is giving back to the city that has given so much to me...It has allowed me to take care of my family, secure a job, own property and live a decent life.' This reflects his deep gratitude towards Hialeah and his intent to serve the community that has enriched his own life over the years.
