City of Miami Commissioner and mayoral candidate Francis Suarez has just made history when he qualified by petition to be on the ballot in 2018.
With the minimum amount of signed petitions needed in the City of Miami to qualify being 1,690, Suarez and his team managed to collect some three thousand petitions, making history by becoming the first mayoral candidate to qualify by way of petition in 50 years.

Suarez’s is currently running unopposed, but there is still plenty of time before the November 7, 2018 election for someone to jump in the race and challenge him.
