Eileen Higgins, the Miami-Dade Commission’s senior member, wants to lead the city she’s represented at County Hall since 2018.
She just filed to run for Mayor of Miami, pledging to continue working to expand affordable housing and public transit, support local businesses and create green spaces at the municipal level.
“I love this city, and I’m running for Mayor to get things done – because I believe in the power of public service to improve people’s lives,” she said.
Five other candidates, including former Miami Commissioner Ken Russell, are running in this year’s Nov. 4 election to succeed term-limited Mayor Francis Suarez.
