Eileen Higgins, currently serving as a Miami-Dade County Commissioner, has declared her candidacy for the mayoralty of Miami, marking a significant entry into the open race ahead of the November election. Having recently begun a four-year term unopposed, Higgins is keen on transitioning into a role where she can influence city governance as mayor. She emphasized her commitment to the city and her desire to restore public trust. If elected, Higgins would become the first Democrat mayor of Miami in over a decade, creating a competitive dynamic with fellow Democrat Ken Russell, a former city commissioner.
Higgins said that when she first ran for County Commission, she was told that, because she's a Democrat, "no one will vote for you." "Well, guess what?" she said.
"I live in the city. I love the city," Higgins said. "I want it to be the best that it can be. That's why I'm running. I want to restore trust and deliver results."
