BC-FEC Announces Candidate Endorsements for Upcoming Election

ABC Florida East Coast Chapter (ABC-FEC) announces its endorsement for the upcoming November 4 elections of two candidates who embody our commitment to free enterprise, workforce development, and the Merit Shop philosophy: Colonel (Ret.) Emilio T. González for City of Miami Mayor and Rolando Escalona for City of Miami Commission, District 3.

Colonel González’s distinguished 26-year military career and his proven record of integrity and public service align with ABC-FEC’s core values. Endorsed by Governor Ron DeSantis, González has demonstrated decisive leadership defending voter rights and advocating for reform, transparency, and accountability in government.

Escalona is a Cuban-American entrepreneur and realtor based in Miami, currently general manager of a Brickell hospitality venue. He runs for commissioner on a platform of infrastructure renewal, small-business support and transparent governance, drawing on his immigrant-startup journey to connect with the community.

Together, these candidates represent a vision of principled leadership that keeps Florida building its future, based on merit.
