Miami mayoral candidate reveals how he will flip script on Dem rival's 'city of renters' strategyMiami Republican mayoral candidate Emilio Gonzalez is accusing his progressive Democratic opponent Eileen Higgins of wanting to "create a city of renters" despite pushing a message of affordability.

Gonzalez and Higgins will face off in a runoff election on Dec. 9 after none of the candidates reached 50% of the vote on election night on Nov. 4. Higgins won 35.96% of the vote while Gonzalez took home 19.47%.
Higgins, a Miami-Dade County commissioner who resigned her office to run for mayor, has emphasized "building an affordable and prosperous future." She has touted her successes as county commissioner in investing nearly $3 million in small business grants and investments in building nearly 7,000 affordable housing units.
