Miami native Juan Diaz has always been interested in politics but never worked on a campaign until he became volunteer coordinator for state Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart's campaign. Diaz, 25, received a call from a friend asking to work for the Republican incumbent legislator's campaign and he accepted.
"This is the most important election in history and I could not pass up an opportunity to be a part of this historical election," Diaz said.
Diaz's ear was welded to his cell phone Tuesday morning as he told volunteers where to go and how many signs to take. He is in charge of 150 volunteers at 62 different precincts. Diaz, an insurance agent, took the day off from work to be at the Diaz-Balart headquarters in Kendall.
He said he has received a lot of positive feedback from volunteers at the polls and he is optimistic about the outcome.
"Mario Diaz-Balart has done a lot for the Hispanic community, but not only the Hispanic community. The FIU law school is there because of him. I believe he will win."
