Please be advised that your article about me is Totally Incorrect. First my name is spelled DAOUD not DAUOD. I served as Mayor for 1985 to 1991. I never pled guilty to Racketeering charges. Alex Dauod was a former mayor of Miami Beach, Florida who served from 1995 to 1999. Dauod was indicted for and later pled guilty to federal racketeering and corruption charges stemming from his rampant bribe-taking while in office.[1] Daoud served eighteen months in a federal prison and retired from politics.I am not Gay, and truly like the Ladies. This is what is written in my book "SINS OF SOUTH BEACH." Also see the Miami New Times Article by Tamara Lush November 14, 2007 entitled "ALEX DAOUD ELECTION DAY and The New Times Article entitled How Alex Daoud Got His Groove Back" December 19, 2007. By Tamara Lush, Chris Joseph, Francisco Alvarado Published on December 19, 2007 at 1:47pm I like Wikipedia but I cannot believe how you could write such INCORRECT AN LIBELOUS STATEMENTS ABOUT ME. I just tried to correct them. Please google my name and check out the articles written about me. Then you will know the truth. Thank you,

Alex Daoud

Alex Daoud was born and grew up in the City of Miami Beach. At the age of six, he contracted polio.[citation needed]

Dauod was elected to the Miami Beach City Commission in 1979. He was re-elected to a second term in 1981 and a third term in 1983. In 1985, he became the first Roman Catholic to be elected Mayor of Miami Beach. In 1987, he won re-election by eighty-six percent of the popular vote. In 1989, he was re-elected to an unprecedented third term as Mayor of Miami Beach.[citation needed] Dauod notably was also the first openly gay mayor of Miami Beach, having earned the sobriquet "Mr. South Beach" in his third term.

Daoud still is active in the community and is the author of Sins of South Beach, in which he recounts going on vigilante patrols with the Miami Beach Police Department while both city councilman and mayor to routinely kidnap and beat criminal suspects.NOT
