FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONGRATULATES EILEEN HIGGINS FOR ADVANCING TO RUN-OFF IN MIAMI MAYORAL RACE 

The Florida Democratic Party congratulates Eileen Higgins for advancing to a run-off in Miami’s Mayoral race and Christine King for winning re-election to the Miami City Commission.

“This campaign was a hard-fought race,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “With over a dozen candidates in the mayoral field, Eileen is heading to the runoff with a commanding lead. 

It’s been 28 years since Miami last elected a Democrat as its Mayor and tonight’s  result shows that the pendulum is swinging and the Democrats are the source. 

Miami is on the path to getting the leadership it deserves, and tomorrow the fight continues to ensure Eileen has all the people power she needs to declare victory in 35 days.”

“The Florida Democratic Party is also thrilled to congratulate Christine King on her re-election to the Miami City Commission,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. I’m confident she will work to ensure the people of Miami have the tools and resources they need to thrive.”
