Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Esteban Bovo Jr. paid homage to State Senator Rene Garcia by presenting a proclamation during an event at Hialeah Park Racing and Casino for his 20 years of public service to the community.
Garcia, who previously served on the Hialeah City Council and in the State House of Representatives, is term limited and seeking Bovo’s District 13 seat on the County Commission seat in 2020.
Bovo, who is also termed out, is rumored to be running for mayor.
“I have been blessed with an amazing team throughout the years,” Garcia said to the crowd. “I will be forever be grateful for your service to our community and more importantly for your friendship and love. Thank you for making me look like a rockstar.”
