Born of Buffalo, Fueled by Fire, Driven for Change
I am Buffalo—born of its streets, shaped by its spirit. Raised in the heart of this city, a proud child of Buffalo Public Schools, I have spent my life in service, standing on the front lines as a firefighter. I have seen the weight our families carry—poverty that lingers, doors closed to opportunity, homes uncertain, streets echoing with violence. Yet, in every challenge, I see resilience. In every struggle, I see the spark of change waiting to be ignited. These moments have shaped me, and they fuel my fight—to turn hardship into hope and bring real change to Erie County.
Rafeal Suarez's Mission
For too long, our community’s voice has gone unheard, our struggles unseen. It’s time for bold leadership—leadership rooted in experience, shaped by the very challenges we face. I’m running to spark real change, to open doors of opportunity, to fight for homes that families can afford, and to build a future where our streets are safe and our neighborhoods thrive.
Is the County Legislature
Working for You?
The Erie County Legislature holds the power to shape our daily lives—deciding how our roads are funded, where public dollars go, and who benefits from investments in housing, healthcare, and safety. Too often, this power serves politicians and special interests instead of the people. It’s time to change that.
Serving the People, Not the Powerful
Our community deserves leadership that fights for us—not just those at the top. My campaign is about real change, not empty promises. We need bold action on economic opportunities, housing, public safety, and infrastructure to build a Buffalo that works for everyone-not just the wealthy and well-connected.
Here’s what we can achieve:
Together We Can Build A Better Buffalo.
Affordable Housing & Homeownership
Push for policies that promote homeownership and expand affordable housing options for working families
Economic Opportunities & Development
Expand access to Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WMBE) funding, provide entrepreneurial support, and ensure Black and Brown businesses get a fair shot.
Healthcare
Taking the first step towards a transformative experience has never been easier Simply.
Infrastructure
Fix county roads in our district to improve access and transportation for residents and businesses.
Community Safety
Advocate for community policing and first responder programs, increase mental health resources, fund youth programs, and support anti-gun violence initiatives.
