THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY MAYORAL RACE IS NONPARTISIAN OR IS IT?

The dust has settled and the local election results are all in. For Miami-Dade County Mayor run-off, it’s Commissioner Estebon Bovo and Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. The Miami-Dade County Mayoral race is nonpartisan yet the difference in the candidate’s position is clearly highlighted by Republican and Democratic views – Independent Civilian Panel for Police Oversight, Transportation, County Contractor Pay, and so forth. This race will be held on November 3, 2020 and will be a very closely watched race.

Vote by mail and early voting numbers were at a record high for this primary election. Republicans showed up at the polls and Democrats voted-by-mail which traditionally would be the other way around.
