US EditionIt's Not over: Eileen Higgins, Emilio González to Compete in Runoff for Miami Mayor
Eileen Higgins leads with over 36% and Emilio González with nearly 20% in a 13-candidate race to replace term-limited Mayor Francis Suarez.
- On Tuesday, Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins and former Miami City Manager Emilio González advanced to a Dec. 9 runoff after Higgins took 36% and González had 19.5% with 134 of 139 precincts reporting.
- A crowded field of 13 candidates split the vote, and fewer than 22% of 174,462 registered voters cast ballots, leading to a runoff.
- Endorsements and fundraising shaped the advantage: Higgins reported about $193,548 and close to $658,000 via her committee, while González had raised $217,766 and over $1.84 million since filing.
- The Dec. 9 runoff will determine who succeeds the term-limited Mayor, and at their victory party, both Higgins and González said they were excited to move forward.
- Earlier this year, González won the July lawsuit that stopped the election delay and brings decades of experience as Miami City Manager, MIA CEO, USCIS Director, and Army colonel.
