MIAMI LAKES - On October 7, 2008, Nick Perdomo was elected as Councilman
for Seat 1 in the Miami Lakes Town Council. Perdomo won by almost 40% in a race
that included three other Miami Lakes residents.
As
a long time resident and successful business owner in Miami Lakes, Nick Perdomo
decided it was time to be an advocate for his neighbors as he entered the race
for Seat-1 in the Miami Lakes Town Council. "My vision for Miami Lakes is one
where town officials will be held accountable for their actions," states Nick.
"Residents deserve the very best individuals to represent their needs and I
believe that by applying common sense business practices, we can find solutions
to the issues that affect all of us on a daily basis. Fiscal responsibility,
crime prevention, efficient public services, and traffic relief are my top
priorities."
Fourth generation cigar maker, Nick Perdomo and his wife, Janine, moved to
Miami Lakes in August of 1992. They have two children, Nicholas III and Natalie,
who were born and raised in Miami Lakes. Nick and Janine came to Miami Lakes
seeking a better quality of life for their family.
As a military veteran, Nick served our country in the United States Navy.
"The Navy prepared me for the future obstacles I would face. I learned important
skills like multitasking and paying attention to even the smallest details.
These two skills have been the key to my success, both personally and
professionally," states Nick. After leaving the Navy, Nick was an air traffic
controller for the Federal Aviation Administration. Soon thereafter, Nick
focused exclusively on his cigar business.
Nick started his cigar company sixteen years ago out of his garage on Lake
Candlewood Court in Miami Lakes. With hard work and dedication, he built a sound
business that currently manufactures its products in Esteli, Nicaragua and is
headquartered in Miami Lakes. Nick attributes his success to his hard work
ethic, the support of his family, and a relentless commitment to his business.
"I decided to enter the cigar industry because I wanted to return to my roots.
My Grandfather and my Dad were both great cigar makers in Cuba, and I wanted to
continue the Perdomo legacy," states Nick.
Nick is very passionate about supporting charitable causes. His philanthropic
efforts include being an Advocate for the Voices for Children Charities, a
Founder for the Mount Sinai Medical Center, a Co-chair of the Foundation for
Fighting Blindness, and a benefactor for the Senior Housing and Repair Program
(SHARP) in Miami Lakes. "My family and I have been blessed, and I feel it is my
duty to help my community," states Nick.
During this race, the Miami-Dade County Police Benevolent Association
announced that they endorsed Nick in his bid for Seat 1 in the Miami Lakes Town
Council. John Rivera, president of the Miami-Dade County PBA states, "We are
proud to support Nick Perdomo because he is pro-public safety and he is clearly
the right person for the town of Miami Lakes."
The Christian Family Coalition (CFC) also announced that they endorsed Nick
during the campaign. Anthony Verdugo, Founder and Executive Director of the CFC
states, "After carefully reviewing Nick Perdomo’s education, experience, and
community service, we have rated him as highly qualified to serve on the Miami
Lakes Town Council."
Miami Lakes' residents voted for Nick Perdomo on Tuesday, October 7 and it is
clear that Miami Lakes is excited about having Nick as their voice in the Town
Council.
Congratulations to Nick from the Cigar-Review.com family!
