After decades of glacial change from year to year, the 13-seat Miami-Dade Commission is the freshest it’s been since its inception, with nearly half its members winning office for the first time in 2022 thanks to term limits.
But while the composition of the county’s legislative leadership has changed, Miami-Dade’s most pressing issues – housing, transit, public safety and environmental resilience among them – remain the same.
Florida Politics recently spoke with every member of the County Commission about which issues they plan to prioritize this year, what legislation they have to address those issues and whom they’ll enlist in their efforts.
