Rooted in Miami, driven by service, and committed to building a safer, healthier, more affordable future for all.
MEET GLORIA
Gloria Romero Roses is a lifelong problem solver, entrepreneur, and community builder running to move Miami forward. She believes we do this by ensuring every Miamian can pursue their freedom to be safe, healthy and prosperous.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia and raised in South Florida, Gloria grew up watching her single mother, a nurse, work tirelessly to provide a better life. Those experiences shaped her belief that every person deserves a fair shot and a level playing field. She approaches every challenge with data, fairness, and a commitment to real-world results.
After putting herself through Florida International University while working full-time, Gloria earned her MBA and built a distinguished career in real estate, affordable housing, and community development. She has turned around struggling condominium and homeowner’s associations, led major development projects, and helped revitalize neighborhoods across South Florida.
As the owner and operator of an assisted living facility, she worked to ensure residents could live with dignity and safety even when it meant taking personal financial loss. Today, as a small business owner and civic leader, Gloria continues to champion affordability, fairness, and opportunity for all.
She has served on the boards of the Univision Foundation, genCLEO Action, the Women’s Fund of Miami-Dade, and she is a longtime advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association, representing Florida families in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C. She has worked and understands issues from all sides, from homeowners, to seniors, small businesses and developers, and non-profit leaders.
A woman of faith, a proud Miamian, and a problem solver, she leads by listening, building consensus, and acting with integrity. She is running to level the playing field for everyday Miamians- to accelerate affordable housing development, expand childcare, and help families and small businesses thrive again. She has built a 40-year career based on solving problems and is ready to hit-the-ground-running on these problems now because every Miamian deserves the freedom to be safe, healthy, and prosperous. Together, we can move Miami forward — ¡Pa’lante!

Policy Priorities
-
Gloria will accelerate construction for affordable housing by expanding access to capital and repurposing underused properties. Also by fixing the way our state government understands what its job is: to accelerate funding for projects and to support how local governments can cut the red tape to get more built, faster. She supports transit-oriented development that connects people to jobs, reduces household costs, and builds thriving mixed-income communities.
-
Miami-Dade County has the highest rate of Alzheimer’s diagnoses in the entire country, a reality Gloria has lived personally and is determined to change. Gloria will expand access to affordable health care by strengthening navigator partnerships and investing in prevention and early intervention. She will lead efforts to raise awareness, improve early detection, and explore the creation of an “Elder’s Trust” that funds programs to help seniors live with dignity, safety, and support.
-
Gloria believes childcare is economic infrastructure. She will champion policies to expand facilities, train and retain early educators, and provide working parents with flexible, affordable childcare options so families can thrive.
-
Gloria will fight to reduce the cost of living by investing in hurricane hardening, neighborhood preparedness, and fair insurance practices. She knows from experience how rising premiums and extreme weather threaten small businesses and families alike. Gloria will lead with data and pragmatism to lower costs and strengthen resilience. We need practical reforms, not political theater.
