Town Council

Bryan Morera

Vice Mayor, Seat 6

As a lifelong resident of the Town of Miami Lakes, I had the opportunity to play in our parks, fall in love with baseball at the Miami Lakes Optimist Park, go to school at Miami Lakes Middle School, go to church at Our Lady of the Lakes, and pet the cows at the various pastures scattered throughout the Town. As I got older, I was able to frequent Main Street and the various restaurants and bars in Town and watch as our Town changed over time.

As a kid, I always gravitated toward passionate advocacy. This passion would lead me to become a proud double-Panther, earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science in 2013, and my Juris Doctorate Degree in 2017, both from Florida International University. After passing the Florida Bar and practicing law for several years, I decided to open my own law firm. Sometime later, I opened another business that provides business advising and consulting services. Of course, I set up both businesses right here in Miami Lakes.

My passion for advocating on behalf of others would also lead me to volunteer to serve on two of the Town’s Committees, the Neighborhood Improvement Committee and the Blasting Advisory Board, and to run for the Board of Directors of my Homeowners’ Association, where I served as Vice-President and President. In 2024, when the opportunity arose to run for the Miami Lakes Town Council, that same passion led me to throw my hat into the race.

As an attorney and business owner, I am very results oriented. I believe in walking the walk more than talking the talk. That is why in my first month of being on the Council, I led our Town Council to take the most significant actions against blasting in its history, and in just my fifth month as a Councilmember, I spearheaded major reforms which put power back into the hands of the residents.

Today, my parents and my brother still reside in Miami Lakes over on the east side of town, and my wife, Katherine, and I purchased our first home on the west side of town. My agenda is simple: I want to preserve our small-town character while promoting policies which ensure that my future children, like me, grow up and choose to live here as adults and say “I Miami Lakes.”

Steven Herzberg

Councilmember, Seat 5

Councilmember Steven Herzberg and his family chose Miami Lakes as their home for its welcoming spirit and strong community values. With his wife, who grew up in Miami Lakes, Steven saw the town as the ideal place to raise their family.

As a first-generation American, Councilmember Herzberg’s perspective is shaped by his family’s journey—his father’s parents were Holocaust survivors who found refuge in the U.S., and his mother’s family fled Cuba in 1961. These experiences have instilled in him a deep respect for freedom, opportunity, and the importance of good governance.

Before his election to the Council, Councilmember Herzberg served on the Town’s Blasting Advisory Board, advocating for residents on issues impacting their quality of life. Now, as a council member, he is committed to enhancing Miami Lakes by prioritizing infrastructure improvements, expanding local amenities, and preserving the strong community spirit that makes the town unique.

Councilmember Herzberg values transparent governance and active engagement with residents. He encourages community members to contact him directly via email or phone with any questions or concerns and looks forward to working together to keep Miami Lakes a vibrant place to live, work, and raise a family.
