'A true champion for Miami's workers': South Florida AFL-CIO backs Eileen Higgins (D) for Mayor

Former Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins is heading into the runoff race for Miami Mayor with a new endorsement from the South Florida AFL-CIO.

The organization, which represents thousands of Miami workers and more than 250,000 people across Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, cited Higgins’ support of labor interests as key to earning its backing.

“Through her record of service, Commissioner Eileen Higgins has proven time and again that she’s a true champion for Miami’s workers and families,” South Florida AFL-CIO President Jeffery Mitchell said in a statement.

“From her years as County Commissioner to her campaign for Mayor, Eileen has consistently championed fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for every worker. We know she will continue fighting to make Miami a city that works for everyone. We look forward to mobilizing our members in the coming weeks to secure her spot as the next Mayor of Miami and ensure that workers have a leader who shows up, listens, and gets results.”
