MIAMI — Daniella Levine Cava declared victory on Tuesday within the race for mayor of Miami-Dade County, the second strongest govt place within the state, after the governor.
Ms. Levine Cava will grow to be the primary feminine mayor of Florida’s most populous county, which operates a $9 billion price range. She can be, notably, the primary non-Hispanic mayor elected to the job in 24 years, a part of an ongoing shift in native politics lengthy dominated by Cuban-American Republicans.
“This county does imagine in compassionate management,” Ms. Levine Cava stated at an outside victory get together in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. “And that we could be a neighborhood that takes care of all of its residents.”
Although the mayor’s place is nonpartisan, Ms. Levine Cava, a county commissioner, campaigned as an unabashed Democrat. Her Republican opponent, Esteban Bovo, who goes by Steve and can be a county commissioner, stumped with Senator Marco Rubio. Mr. Bovo conceded to Ms. Levine Cava on Tuesday night.
Early outcomes confirmed Ms. Levine Cava defeating Mr. Bovo by about eight proportion factors, just like the 7-point margin by which Joseph R. Biden Jr. leads President Trump in Miami-Dade — a vastly disappointing outcome for Democrats within the presidential race.
