Michael Hepburn’s effort to break a glass ceiling in the race for Miami Mayor now has support from the candidate who came closest to beating the current officeholder in 2021. The two met during the 2021 race, when Hepburn was vying for a seat on the City Commission. In addition to seeking a City Commission seat, he has also run for the Florida House and Congress. “A vote for Mike is a vote for the entire city of Miami,” Martinez said. Lawyer Kenneth DeSantis, former Miami Mayor and Miami-Dade Commissioner Xavier Suarez and Laura Anderson, an affiliate of the Socialist Workers Party, have no party affiliation.
