Neighbors, I want to take a moment to speak with you about something important: why the March 10th election matters so much for our community. Local elections don't always get the attention they deserve. But the truth is, no level of government impacts your day-to-day life more than your city commission. The decisions made right here in Pembroke Pines affect the safety of your neighborhood, the cost of your utility bills, the quality of your parks and schools...

Neighbors, While I continue to serve District 4 as your Vice-Mayor and Commissioner, it's important that I stay in touch with you to ensure everyone is up to date in our community. There’s a couple of updates and reminders I’d like to go over. Most importantly, a reminder that Election Day for our District is March 10th. If your vote-by-mail ballot has arrived, make sure you fill it out and return it ASAP. The election for Pembroke Pines District 4 Commissioner is the

Neighbors, I wanted to share a brief update on recent City Commission activity and what we’ve been working on to support our community. At last week’s Commission meeting, I took time to thank School Board Member Rebecca Thompson for her leadership and hard work during the school redefining process.

At last week’s meeting, we approved $4.1 million in roadway improvements  across Pembroke Pines. After careful discussion and collaboration, I supported three of my fellow commissioners to move this critical investment forward. These impro

Today, I was quoted in the Pembroke Pines News story, "FPL gets green light for $7 billion rate hike. Here's how much more you'll pay" It reports on the recent approval of the Florida Power and Light rate hike that I had previously stood against. Due to my advocacy efforts on the Commission, my colleagues all stood together to try and stop this massive rate hike on our residents.

We just wrapped up our final City Commission meeting before the summer break, and I wanted to update you on the important decisions made, and how I’m continuing to fight for transparency, fairness, and affordability in our city.

On June 4, 2025, Vice Mayor Mike Hernandez joined Manny Munoz on WIOD610 to discuss how the Floria Power & Light rate increase will effect the residents of Pembroke Pines.

During our City Commission Meeting this week, we discussed the Florida Power & Light proposed rate increases, which could significantly impact our senior residents in Pembroke Pines.
