Michael Christopher Grieco is a Democratic member of the Florida Legislature representing the State's 113th House district and criminal defense attorney.

Political career

Unseating incumbent Jorge Exposito, he was elected in 2013 as Commissioner in the City of Miami Beach. Grieco resigned on October 24, 2017 after pleading ‘no contest’ in Miami-Dade County criminal court to a first-degree misdemeanor charge of accepting a campaign donation made in the name of another. He was sentenced to one year of probation and was not allowed to run for office during that time in a deal prearranged with prosecutors. Grieco was also ordered to pay $3,000 to the State Attorney’s office and $3,000 to the Miami-Dade Committee on Ethics.
Grieco won his election to the Florida House of Representatives' 113th House District on 6 November 2018. He secured sixty-three percent of the vote while his closest rival Republican Jonathan Parker secured thirty-eight percent.
