Christi Fraga running for city council seat.

Christine Fraga said  she  will seek a position on the Doral City Council in this year’s municipal election on November 6.    She is running for Seat 3, currently held by Vice Mayor Mike DiPietro.

Christi Fraga was born in Miami, FL to Cuban parents, who had immigrated to the U.S., in search of a better life.  She attended St. Brendan High School,  where she graduated with honors in 2005.  Christi enjoyed competitive sports such as cheerleading and competed on a  national Level with Miami Elite,  where they won 5 national championships. After  completing  high school, she was accepted into the  Miami Dade College  study abroad  program in Italy where she was given the opportunity to spend a  semester studying  the art, language and culture.  In 2010, Christi graduated  from Florida Internacional University  with a degree in  Finance.  Throughout her  collage career, Christi  worked and lived  in Doral.

Christi married her  college sweetheart, Gabriel Fraga, in 2010.  They enjoy  living in Doral where they are currently working to grow  their family and community   involvement.

Christ currently owns and manages multiple small businesses with her  husband in Doral.  In 2008, they opened  their first company, WM Plumbing, Inc… which services  many residential and commercial clients in  the  Doral Area.  In 2010, Christ put her financial  degree to work  when  she  oponed a management  & small business  bookkeeping company, South  Florida  Small Business Solutions, Inc.,  that  facilitates small businesses an  inexpensive  solution to their  business  accounting  needs.   In 2011,  Christi and  Gabriel started  their latest company, City  Select. City  Select is a  community   program that  allows  small  businesses to come  together  and  advertise to consumers,  as  a network. Residents  can  sign for a City Select  Membership card free of  charge,  allowing them to  visit local businesses within  the City Select Network  to receive hundreds  of dollars in savings in return. The program was a way to stimulate the local economy!

Christi is not only an Entrepreneur, but she cares about her  community  and the  businesses and  families that make up that community.  It  is here, in Doral  that she has grown up  and  transitioned into  a young successful adult to begin her family.

Doral will always be a place she  calls  home.  Her parents still reside in this community as well. It  is  this  deep  love  for  the City of Doral  that prompted Christi  to  run  for the City Council.  “I have  a  desire to  give  back to this City, and my  generation.  It  is time that  they  know  that we can  and  will be the difference.  It’s never  to early to be that difference, and with my experience in business and my love for this community and it’s people, we can bring great things to this vibrant City”, states Christi.

Christi is confident that  her  recent experiences growing up in Doral will be  valuable  to the City Council as Doral  continues to  evolve.  Her bright  and  bold  approach on finance, business and family, will bring  a successful  approach  to the  Council,  as  well as  her  energetic  spirit  that  will help lead Doral into the future.
