Francis Suarez on Budget & Economy | |
Mayor Francis X. Suarez of Miami has not provided many details on his economic plans, beyond calling generally for lower spending and taxes. His campaign did not respond to a request for more information.
Suarez, who vowed to make the city a bitcoin hub and has accepted his salary in bitcoin, joins a growing Republican field seeking to unseat President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Suarez, who touted bitcoin's "democratizing impact on the future of wealth for every American" in a 2021 interview with CoinDesk, has examined ways to accept taxes and pay municipal employees in the currency.
