Michael Bileca (born March 8, 1970) is a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 115th District, which includes north-central Miami-Dade County, stretching from Doral to Palmetto Bay, since 2012, previously representing the 117th District from 2010 to 2012.
Bileca was born in Miami, and attended Tulane University, where he graduated with a bachelor of science in management degree in 1992. Afterwards, he attended Northwestern University and graduated from the Kellogg School of Management with a Master of Business Administration in 2002. Bileca founded the Towncare Dental Partnership, which expanded to employ over six hundred workers.
In 2010, when incumbent Republican State Representative Julio Robaina could not seek another term due to term limits and instead unsuccessfully ran for the Florida State Senate, Bileca ran to succeed him in the 117th District, which was based in north-central Miami-Dade County, including the cities of South Miami, Coral Gables, and Cutler Bay. In a crowded Republican primary that included Ralph Rosado, Ana Alliegro, Jose M. Pazos, Juanky Robaina, Marcus Rivchin Jr., and Ernesto Martinez, Bileca came out in first place with 40% of the vote. In the general election, he faced Democratic nominee Lisa V. Lesperance, who was endorsed by the Miami Herald, which noted that she was "best suited to represent constituents" in the district. Ultimately, Bileca was elected overwhelmingly over Lesperance, winning over 60% of the vote.
