Miami, Fla. — Today, the Irina Vilarino Campaign announced the endorsement of Monroe County Commissioner Michelle Coldiron, who before being elected to the County Commission had served as a City of Marathon Councilwoman and as the Mayor of Marathon. Her record of service also includes many non-profit boards and other positions of civic leadership throughout the district.
“Irina has my full support, and I look forward to helping her win her election to our district,” said Commissioner Coldiron. “Irina's business background is exactly what we need in Congress right now, because she understands our working class men and women and the small businesses that make Florida's economy great.”
Coldiron was elected to the Monroe County Commission in 2018. Over the past two decades, she has served our communities on the Tourism Development Council, on the Area Health Education Center, as a Child Advocate Coordinator for the Guardian ad Litem Program, and as a mentor in the Take Stock in Children program.
“I'm so honored by Commissioner Coldiron's support,” said candidate Irina Vilarino. “I look forward to working with her in the future as we build on our district's successes and find new ways to make the American dream real for all Floridians.”
