VFAF Endorsement of Retired Colonel Emilio Gonzalez for Mayor of the City of Miami Florida
The Floridant/10307715

MIAMI - Floridant -- From Veterans for America First:

As the first organization to endorse Donald Trump, Veterans for America First has consistently backed leaders who put America First—both in words and in action. Colonel Emilio Gonzalez embodies that principle.

"City of Miami citizens from both sides of the political aisle are behind Colonel Gonzalez. He is transparent and has a proven record of fiscally responsible government,"
— Christi Reeves-Tasker, Press Secretary, VFAF

Veterans for America First —the same patriotic coalition that proudly endorsed President Donald J. Trump in 2015—has officially endorsed Retired Colonel Emilio Gonzalez in the race for Mayor of the City of Miami.

This endorsement is far more than symbolic. It reflects the deep trust our nation's veterans place in a man who has defended our country overseas, protected our borders, and led one of America's most dynamic cities with strength and integrity.

From Battlefield to City Hall: Emilio Gonzalez's Proven Record

Emilio Gonzalez's name is synonymous with service and results.

As City Manager of Miami, Gonzalez went beyond campaign promises and transformed the city by:

● Upgrading bond ratings to the highest levels in city history
● Attracting billions in investment and development
● Reducing crime to historic lows
● Introducing cutting-edge technology
● Balancing budgets and cutting taxes—resulting in the lowest millage rate in recent memory

Despite this extraordinary record, Gonzalez faced resistance from political insiders when he began asking tough questions about Miami's finances. That didn't stop him then—and it won't stop him now. Gonzalez recently testified in a Miami court case and continues to speak out about what he calls the "City of Miami Circus."

A Lifetime of Service Before City Hall

Before leading at City Hall, Colonel Gonzalez served his country on the global stage:

● Military Intelligence Officer and U.S. Army Attaché in Mexico and El Salvador
