Mayor

Mayor Joshua Dieguez has lived in Miami Lakes since 1989 and served the Town from an early age. From his experience as a Town government intern to serving on the Elderly Affairs and Neighborhood Improvement Committees and the Charter Revision Commission, Mayor Dieguez has a proven track record of committed service to Miami Lakes and ensuring it lives up to the motto “Growing Beautifully”. Outside of public office, Mayor Dieguez continues to give back through service to various community groups.

Since being elected to the Town Council in 2018, Mayor Dieguez has made it his focus to ensure that taxpayer money is being used wisely, public safety is prioritized, and that much needed investments in our infrastructure are completed. Toward that end he voted to reduce the Town’s property tax rate to the lowest level ever, supported our police officers and provided them with the resources they need to keep Miami Lakes one of the safest communities in Florida, pushed to increase the Town’s “rainy day” fund, and voted on the largest drainage infrastructure investment in the town’s history.

Mayor Dieguez graduated cum laude from Florida International University with a double major in Political Science and History. He graduated with his Juris Doctor degree and a Certificate in Environmental Law from St. Thomas University. He practices law from his own law firm in Miami Lakes.
