‘The kind of leader Miami needs’: Javier Fernández, Dan Gelber back Eileen Higgins for Mayor

Endorsements for Eileen Higgins' Mayoral Bid

Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins has received endorsements from two Democratic Mayors, Javier Fernández and Dan Gelber, in her bid to become the first woman to hold the title of Mayor in the city of Miami.

Miami needs a Mayor who has both the courage to take on corruption and the ability to get real results for residents.

South Miami Mayor Javier Fernández praised Higgins for her leadership qualities, stating that she is

the kind of leader Miami needs — someone who listens, builds consensus, and always puts residents first.

According to Fernández, as Mayor, Higgins will

bring that same focus and integrity to City Hall, creating a Miami where families can afford to live, thrive, and feel safe.

Author's summary: Higgins gains support from two Democratic Mayors.
