Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Hector Abel Selin. I was born in Miami and I’ve lived in Hialeah my entire life. As a kid, I grew up playing sports in the Hialeah parks system. After high school, I started working for the City of Hialeah Parks & Recreation Department. I would eventually become one of the Directors for the parks and I served my community for 14 years. I organized sports leagues for children and adults. I worked with City senior programs at Wilde Community Center and Special Population programs at Buck Dent Park. I also ran City wide events such as the annual Canned Food Drive for Hialeah families in need. I have my Bachelors Degree in Leadership/Business from Saint Thomas University. Since I left the City in 2013, I’ve been learning business as I’ve worked in the private sector. Now, I’m ready to return to Hialeah and work for my people and my City. I was made by the people, for the people.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Improve City Infrastructure
• Support Our First Responders
• Assist Small Businesses

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about people’s living conditions and their overall way of life. I am passionate about prioritizing public safety for our residents. And finally, I am passionate about reminding people that work for the government that they’re working for the people.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Donald J. Trump, because he does what he says he’s going to do. He’s a man that keeps his promises. And everything he does, he does it with the best interest of the American people in mind.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible: because it is the word of God and the guide to life’s purpose.
