The 2017 North Miami mayoral election took place on May 9, 2017. Incumbent Mayor Smith Joseph ran for re-election to a second full term. He was challenged by three candidates: Hector Medina, a retired physician; Danielle Beauvais, a 2005 candidate for Mayor; and Tyrone Hill, a middle school teacher. Joseph campaigned on his administration's removal of red-light cameras, reducing property taxes, and overseeing an increase in local home values, while his opponents emphasized the need for reform and transparency in city government. Joseph ultimately won re-election by a wide margin, receiving 60 percent of the vote and avoiding a runoff election.
