Tallahassee, FL – Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum today announced the Chairmen of his Miami-Dade County Political Leadership Team. U.S. Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart will serve as Chairman of this group comprised of more than 25 individuals, including respected business leaders, elected officials, party activists and civic and community leaders. Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen will serve as Miami-Dade County Co-Chairs.

The McCollum for Governor Miami-Dade County Political Leadership Team will be critical in spearheading the campaign’s victory efforts in South Florida.

“I am honored to have Congressmen Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart and Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen chairing our campaign efforts in Miami-Dade County. Their leadership and political acumen will be key to securing victory in November,” said Bill McCollum. “They will lead a dedicated team of business leaders and local officials to educate voters on our agenda to create jobs, keep taxes low, diversify our economy and improve the quality of life for all Floridians.”

“It is clear Floridians are growing increasingly disenchanted with President Obama’s and Democrats’ liberal agenda. With more than one million Floridians out of work, it is critical our next Governor understands we must do everything possible to spur economic growth in our state and create new jobs,” said Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart. “On behalf of Mario and Ileana, we are looking forward to campaigning hard for Bill McCollum during the next ten months.”
