Just attended Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava's State of the County address at the beautiful and historic Miami Senior High School! The mayor's message was clear: 'Promises kept, progress made.' I was inspired by the mayor's commitment to building a stronger, more equitable, and prosperous Miami-Dade. From tackling affordability and housing to strengthening public safety and unleashing innovation, Mayor Levine Cava's vision for our community is one to get behind. Looking forward to seeing the progress continue! #MiamiDade #StateOfTheCounty #PromisesKeptProgressMade FIU Maurice A. Ferré Institute for Civic Leadership #civicleadership
