Suarez Re-Affirms Commitment to Hispanic Cause

Despite pulling out, Suarez pledged his commitment to the Hispanic community he hails from. The Miami mayor was born to Cuban immigrants Xavier and Rita Suarez.

“I will continue to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community – the fastest-growing voting group in our country.”
