It has been an honor to serve the citizens, and I am seeking re-election for the position of Dade County Tax Commissioner in the upcoming election set for May 21, 2024. I have been the Dade County Tax Commissioner for the last four years and have worked in the Dade County Tax Office for a total of 31 years, and fully understand the responsibilities of the office I am seeking. My many years of on-the-job experience and hours of training will allow me to carry out the duties of the Tax Commissioner for the citizens of Dade County. Thank you so much for allowing me to serve these last four years.
