Juan Diez Biography

Juan is originally from Bolivia and moved to the United States in 2016. Before Juan joined the Elections office as a full-time employee, he worked events in the community as a Patriot (a part-time temporary election worker). In April 2017, Juan became one of the Community Education Services Department (CESD) Coordinators and was promoted to CESD Director in January 2020. He speaks four languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, and at an intermediate level, French. Juan is a true believer in democracy and has more than 10 years of customer service experience, which is why he says he shares the same passion for educating our Lee County constituents on the importance of voting through outreach events and educational presentations.
