Florida Democratic Party Congratulates Trailblazer Eileen Higgins as She Wins Miami Mayoral Race in Historic Victory

The Florida Democratic Party is proud to congratulate Mayor-elect Eileen Higgins on her victory in Miami’s Mayoral race.

“28 years after last electing a Democrat, Miami is once again in competent hands, ready to stop corruption and focus on making life better for all Miamians,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “I am thrilled for Eileen and cannot think of a better person to shatter Miami’s glass ceiling by becoming the first woman to lead the city in its 129-year history. 

“Tonight’s victory shows that the pendulum is swinging in our favor and that when we commit to relentless, year-round organizing and invest in a long-term strategic field program, we can, in fact, win.”

“This campaign has been a long, hard-fought race. With the support of Democrats across the country, voters chose to turn the page on decades of cronyism, shadowy deals, and political nepotism in City Hall. By electing Eileen Higgins, Miami has voted for accountability, transparency, and progress. Now the work begins to chart a bold new future for South Florida that works on behalf of the people, not just the rich and powerful.”
