Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez proudly participated in the 2025 Miami-Dade County Days in Tallahassee, a key annual event that gathers over 1,000 attendees and more than 200 organizations from both public and private sectors to advocate for the most populous county in South Florida during the Florida Legislative Session.
Held on April 8 and 9, the two-day event kicked off with the iconic “Paella Fest” on the Capitol Courtyard and featured a series of meetings, presentations, and networking opportunities aimed at promoting legislative priorities and impactful community initiatives.
“As Miami-Dade County Tax Collector, it was an honor to join fellow leaders in showcasing our county’s achievements and standing up for the needs of our residents,” said Fernandez. “Miami-Dade Days is a powerful platform for collaboration, and together, we continue building a stronger future for all.”
Fernandez was accompanied by key members of his leadership team, including Cire Andino, Intergovernmental Affairs and Outreach Administrator; Gerardo "Jerry" Gomez, Deputy Tax Collector; and Andrew Lopez, Director of Motorist Services. Their collective presence underscored the importance of a unified voice in advocating for effective solutions to issues that impact the quality of life in Miami-Dade County.
Miami-Dade Days continues to serve as a cornerstone event for forging relationships with state lawmakers, sharing policy goals, and ensuring that the voices of Miami-Dade residents are heard at the state level.
