Dear Friend,

I hope you and your loved ones are having a wonderful start to the New Year and I wish you the best in 2012. I would like to thank you for your support over the years. Your friendship, personal and campaign support have made it possible for me to have the honor and privilege to serve during the last eight and a half years as the first6 ever Mayor of the City of Doral.

As you know, in the second quarter of 2011 I declared my candidacy for Miami-Dade County Mayor for the election scheduled to take place this August of 2012. Many of you have called and written with support and some of you have contributed to the campaign. I thank you very much for having the confidence in my public service to support me publicly.

After much consideration and consulting with my wife and family I have come to the decision that I will not be running for the County Mayor’s position this year. After more than ten years of public service and with a growing family, the time has come to make sure that I can spend quality time with my children and wife. Although my campaign for County Mayor has come to an end, my campaign to reform County government will continue both through the remainder of my term as Mayor of Doral and as a private citizen subsequent to the end of my term as Mayor of Doral this November.

In addition, I will work to make sure that Doral continues to be the most transparent local government in our state and will be working this final year to preserve and solidify all of the gains that have made us one of the great cities in the United States despite being such a young municipality. I will continue to work to protect the legacy of character, integrity, decency and good public policy which we have established and which we should seek from all of our future elected officials in Doral.

Once again, on behalf of my wife Vivian, my daughters Eneida, Elena and Elisa and all of my extended family thank you for your support in the past, present and, hopefully, in the future. It has been an honor to have your friendship and support.

May God bless you and your family and may this year bring many blessings to you.

Respectfully,

Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez

 

Querido amigo,

Espero que usted y sus seres queridos hayan tenido un buen comienzo del Año Nuevo, y te deseo lo mejor para el 2012. Quisiera agradecerle su apoyo a lo largo de los años. Su amistad y su apoyo personal y en las campañas, han hecho posible que yo haya tenido el privilegio de servir durante los últimos ocho años como el primer alcalde de la Ciudad de Doral.

Como ya sabes, a finales del 2011declaré mi candidatura a la Alcaldía del Condado Miami-Dade para las elecciones que se realizarán en agosto del 2012. Muchos de ustedes han llamado y han escrito con su apoyo y algunos han contribuido a mi campaña. Les agradezco mucho por haber tenido la confianza en mi servicio público como para apoyarme públicamente.

Tras mucha consideración y haber consultado con mi esposa y mi familia he llegado a la decisión que no continuaré mi postulación a la Alcaldía del Condado este año. Luego de más de diez años de servicio público, ha llegado el momento de asegurarme que puedo dedicarme a mis hijos y mi esposa. A pesar de que mi campaña para la Alcaldía del Condado ha terminado, mi campaña para reformar el gobierno condal continuará, durante lo que queda de mi mandato como alcalde de Doral y luego como ciudadano privado una vez que termine mi mandato el próximo noviembre.

Adicionalmente, trabajaré para asegurarme que Doral continuará siendo el gobierno local más transparente del estado y trabajaré este año final para preservar y solidificar todos los logros que nos han convertido en una de las grandes ciudades de Estados Unidos a pesar de ser una municipalidad joven. Continuaré trabajando para proteger el legado de carácter, integridad, decencia y buena política pública que hemos establecido y que debemos buscar en todos nuestros futuros funcionarios electos en Doral.

Una vez más, de parte de mi esposa Vivian, mis hijas Eneida, Elena y Elisa, y toda mi familia, gracias por su apoyo en el pasado, futuro y, espero, en el futuro. Ha sido un honor contar con su amistad y su apoyo.

Que Dios lo bendiga a usted y a su familia, y que este año le traiga muchas bendiciones.

Respetuosamente,

Alcalde Juan Carlos Bermúdez.
