Three of eight candidates for mayor of Miami-Dade County are scheduled to debate at True Channel Studios in Miami Lakes on Feb. 10.
Invited by the Hialeah-
Miami Lakes Republican Club are current County Commissioners Esteban Bovo Jr., 57, and Xavier Suarez, 70, and former Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas, 58.
All three candidates have experience in local politics; Penelas and Bovo began their careers as Hialeah city councilmembers and Suarez is a former mayor of Miami.
They seek to replace incumbent Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, who is term limited.
Club President Juan Barek said the remaining candidates – Daniella Levine Cava (who is second behind Penelas in fundraising); County
Commissioner Jean

Realtor Ludmilla Domond and former candidate for Miami mayor, Robert Ingram Burke -- may be invited to a future debate.
The debate, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m., will air live on TheTrueChannel.com and can be heard on the radio at 97.4 FM, according to Barek.
