While Gov. Ron DeSantis twiddles his thumbs rather than call a Special Election for House District 113, one candidate for the post is urging his opponents to join him in planning policy.

Republican businessman Tony Diaz, one of five candidates seeking HD 113 seat Vicki Lopez vacated two months ago for a spot on the Miami-Dade Commission, believes brainstorming future legislation now will ultimately benefit voters, who are without House representation this Session.

“I propose we meet twice a month to discuss the laws we would propose, the matters we believe need fixing,” he said, adding that any actionable ideas could be sent to sitting lawmakers “who lend an ear.”

“I believe our district will be grateful and the winner of the November election will be in a better position.”

Diaz, for now, faces two Republican Primary foes: former Miami-Dade Commissioner Bruno Barreiro and real estate broker Frank Lago, both of whom have significantly outraised him in the contest so far.

Two Democrats — consultant Gloria Romero Roses and Miami-Dade Young Democrats President Justin Mendoza Routt — are also running.

In a statement Monday, Diaz lamented how the DeSantis administration and leaders in the Legislature “have forsaken” him and the four other candidates by failing to fill the empty HD 113 seat in a timely fashion.

As a “modest bandage for this amputated limb,” Diaz said he will also be establishing a “District 113 Provisional Representation Office” at 2264 SW 22nd Ave. — a property in the county’s Silver Bluff neighborhood he owns, according to the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser’s Office — for constituents to “bring a concern about  our district or Florida to the attention of the State Government.”

It’ll be open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday, Diaz said, but added that calling him ahead of time at 786-774-2125 “would be appreciated.”

“I will cover the expenses, field the office, and host a-political meetings here,” he said. “All information submitted by residents will be forwarded to the Dade Delegation, Speaker (Daniel) Perez, Governor DeSantis and appropriate committee chairs.”

Diaz carries endorsements from former Surfside Mayor Dan Gielchinsky, gubernatorial candidate James Fishback and Key Biscayne community activist H. Frances Reaves, according to his campaign.
