Former Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins will continue her early voting push with several appearances across Miami alongside U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona on Sunday.
“As Miamians turn out for Early Voting, Commissioner Higgins will highlight her vision for restoring trust at City Hall, ending corruption, and delivering a city government that works for residents,” her campaign said.
“The day will feature a canvass launch, Early Vote stops, and a volunteer phone bank to mobilize voters ahead of the Dec. 9 election.”
Higgins, who is running to be Miami’s first woman Mayor, will make her first stop at 10:30 a.m. at the Mision Nuestar Senñora de la Altagracia church, located at 1179 NW 28th St., followed by a visit to Christ Episcopal Church at 3481 Hibiscus St. an hour later.
Then at 1 p.m., Higgins and Gallego will participate in a get-out-the-vote event in Hadley Park at 1350 NW 50th Street.
They’ll end the day’s tour with a phone bank stop at 4 p.m., the address for which, Higgins’ campaign said, can be obtained upon RSVP.
Higgins, who served on the County Commission from 2018 to 2025, is competing in a runoff for the city’s mayoralty against former City Manager Emilio González. The pair topped 11 other candidates in Miami’s Nov. 4 General Election, with Higgins, a Democrat, taking 36% of the vote and González, a Republican, capturing 19.5%.
To win outright, a candidate had to receive more than half the vote. Miami’s elections are technically nonpartisan, though party politics frequently still play into races.
Gallego, a freshman Democratic Senator, served in the U.S. House from 2015 to 2025 and as a member of the Arizona House from 2011 to 2014. He is a second-generation American, with a Colombian mother and a Mexican father, and the first Latino elected to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate.
