John DuBois for Miami-Dade County Commission District 8

John DuBois has been a resident of Miami-Dade for over 25 years. The most profound change during that time has been the dramatic increase in traffic without adequate improvements to the public transportation infrastructure. The time it takes to drive through rush hour traffic has degraded the quality of life for all of us. It’s time to change this and John DuBois will work with his colleagues on the Commission to resolve this issue during his first term as your commissioner.

Mr. DuBois dedicated a great deal of his time and money over the last 25 years serving on the Board of Directors of Camillus House and 20 years serving on the Board of Camillus Health Concerns. These faith-based organizations delivered exceptional services that became a model for every other major city in the US to end chronic homelessness and provide medical services for the uninsured and underserved. John also hosted the annual Educate Tomorrow gala, an organization that supports education and life skills training for foster care children who age out of the system.

In 2012, Mr. DuBois was elected and served 2 consecutive 4-year terms as Vice Mayor of Palmetto Bay. Vice Mayor DuBois introduced many creative ideas and innovative legislation praised by residents for supporting neighborhood protection, improving quality of life and improved village services without increasing taxes. His first term in office marked the end of elected officials controlled by special interests. Mr. DuBois’ is, once again, called to serve District 8 residents after experiencing years of special interests controlling our elected official at the expense of serving District 8 residents.
