Voters across Miami-Dade and Monroe counties are heading to the polls this Tuesday to decide several key local races — including mayoral contests in Miami, Miami Beach and Hialeah, along with council elections and local referendums in Homestead, Surfside and Marathon.
In the City of Miami, a crowded field of candidates is vying to replace Mayor Francis Suarez, whose term is ending.
Among those running are former city commissioners Joe Carollo, Ken Russell and Alex Diaz de la Portilla, along with former Miami-Dade Mayor Xavier Suarez. Other contenders include Laura Anderson, Alyssa Crocker, Elijah John Bowdre, Christian Cevallos, K. James DeSantis, Emilio Gonzalez, Michael Hepburn and Eileen Higgins .
In Miami Beach, Commissioner Steven Meiner faces Kristen Rosen Gonzalez in the mayor’s race.
Several commission seats are also on the ballot, including Group I, where Daniel Ciraldo faces a crowded field, and Groups II and III, where incumbents Laure Dominguez and Alex Fernandez are being challenged.
In Hialeah, Mayor Bryan Calvo is seeking another term against Jackie Garcia-Roves, Benny Rodriguez, Marc Anthony Salvat and Jesus Tundidor. The city will also decide multiple council seats in the November election.
Further south, Homestead voters will weigh in on a series of referendums covering mayoral term limits, filling council vacancies, and issuing construction bonds for parks and roads.
In the Florida Keys, Marathon residents will choose among seven candidates for city council, while Surfside voters will decide four ballot questions on future development and community rules.
