Francis Suarez

So if I look at Miami and I look at why Miami is so successful,

the focus on education, the focus on public safety.

These are safe streets.

We live in a safe city.

The focus on community.

This is a city that has great pride in what we've accomplished together and what we will accomplish ahead.

I've lived in a failed city state.

I lived in Chicago for 30-some years.

You can't live in a city awash in violent crime and feel proud to call that place home.

So I'm grateful for the leadership in the state of Florida and from this great city of Miami.

This is a great place to call home.

I think I put white male.

I don't know if, well, I know I put white male, but I don't know if I put Hispanic.

No, I know, listen, I know who I am, but it's also to make... You put down Hispanic male.

That's obvious.

And if you know anything about the one-drop rule, which started in the 20th century, which is what identifies and defines what a black male is or a negro, you would know that if you have one drop of black in you, you are considered black.

Nobody sent me here, nor did the city manager.

I am my own man.

Yes.

Half of my family's Jewish.
