Angel Gabela
Síndico
Commissioner Miguel Angel Gabela was elected in November, 2023. He serves as the City of Miami Commissioner for District 1, representing Flagami, Allapattah, and parts of Little Havana.
Miguel Angel Gabela came to the United States from Cuba at the age of 6 in 1970. Like many of you, his family made many sacrifices to come to the United States and build a life here. Early on, Miguel learned to work hard and always put his family first. Miguel and his wife, Mariela, have been married for 36 years and have created a beautiful family together. They are proud parents to Stacy and Caroline and grandparents to Joaquin. Miguel opened his own business 40 years ago and since then has lived and worked in District 1. He volunteered his time to serve on the City of Miami Zoning Board where he defended the individual’s rights and interests, usually in conflict with powerful stakeholders and larger entities. Miguel Angel Gabela looks forward to continue this same attitude as a public servant and keep his campaign promises.
Ralph Rosado

Ralph Rosado is a dedicated public servant and proud Miami native, now serving as the City of Miami Commissioner for District 4, which includes the neighborhoods of Flagami, West Flagler, Little Havana, Coral Gate, Shenandoah, and Silver Bluff. A graduate of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School and Florida International University, he was both educated and shaped by this community. Today, he is raising his three children in the heart of the district he now represents.
Commissioner Rosado brings to office over 25 years of public service spanning city management, planning, and policy. Before his election on June 3, 2025, he served as City Manager of North Bay Village, where he led award-winning planning efforts, including the NBV100 master plan and a $60 million stormwater bond referendum. These initiatives catalyzed over $3 billion in approved investment, increased property values, and helped deliver one of the largest crime reductions in the municipality’s history.
Rosado holds a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master in Public Affairs and Urban Planning from Princeton University, and a B.A. from FIU.
Prior to taking office, Rosado was appointed by Commissioner Manolo Reyes to serve on the City of Miami’s Miami Forever Bond Board, where he oversaw progress on $400 million in citywide investments spanning flood prevention, public safety, roadways, parks, and housing—giving him an intimate understanding of the city’s most pressing infrastructure challenges and opportunities.
Commissioner Rosado’s CASA initiative—standing for Connectivity, Accessibility, Safety, and Affordability—guides his work in office. It is a promise to deliver real, tangible improvements that keep families rooted, streets safe, homes attainable, and neighborhoods well-connected and welcoming to all.
Above all, Commissioner Rosado is committed to working hand-in-hand with residents to shape a more livable, equitable, and resilient future for the City of Miami.
