Miami-Dade Mayor
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava easily won re-election taking in 58% of the votes on Tuesday’s election. Manny Cid was the closest candidate with 23% of the votes.
Transit
In the non-binding question regarding rapid mass transit systems, Miami-Dade residents voted overwhelmingly in favor for rapid transit expansion with nearly 80% voting in favor. Miami-Dade County is experiencing tremendous growth as the capital of Latin America, but Miami-Dade will never be a world class city without world class rail transit.
U.S. Senator
Not surprising, Rick Scott easily won the Republican primary with nearly 90% of the votes.
Scott will now face the Democrat primary winner Debbie Mucarsel-Powell who won 66% of the Democrat votes.
U.S. Congress District 26
Mario Diaz-Balart easily took the Republican primary with 92% of the votes.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff
Rosanna ‘Rosie’ Cordero-Stutz won the Republican primary for Miami-Dade Countywide Sheriff, edging out Joe Sanchez by a mere 2,383 votes.
Rosie will be facing James Reyes who easily won the Democrat primary taking 46% of the votes.
Miami-Dade Tax Collector
Dariel Fernandez won the Republican primary for Tax Collector. He’ll now face the Democrat candidate David Richardson who was unopposed in the primary.
We had the opportunity to interview Dariel Fernandez when he ran for Miami-Dade County Commissioner a few years ago. You can watch that video below.
Supervisor of Elections
Juan-Carlos ‘J.C.’ Planas won the Democrat primary for Supervisor of Elections. Planas will now face Republican Alina Garcia who ran unopposed.
