→ My Statement

Candidacy Statement

I'm Deepak Ganju, a 30-year resident of Miami Shores. I am a small business owner with an engineering background. I am also a founding Director of Holding Hands Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)organization partnering with Miami hospitals to support and feed cancer patients and caregivers.

I have worked diligently to build a successful business and raise a family right here in Miami Shores, after having been uprooted by terrorists from my birthplace. For similarly affected people, I co-founded Kashmir Hindu Foundation as a support organization and also run an online magazine viewed by more than ten thousand people monthly.

For what I have received here, I have been working to give back as a community organizer. I recently led a civic upgrade project to redesign the roadway at the Miami Shores Elementary School.

As an experienced engineer and long time business owner, I will bring my critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills abilities to the City Council. I will be a fresh voice to ask purposeful questions, include new perspectives, and start meaningful conversations, to drive conclusions that benefit our Village.
