The 2025 Miami mayoral election had its initial round held on November 4, 2025, with a runoff election then held on December 9, 2025. The election saw Eileen Higgins elected mayor of Miami, becoming the first Democrat to be elected to this position since 1997. Incumbent mayor Francis Suarez was term-limited and could not run for a third term. Miami holds runoffs if no mayoral candidate receives a majority of the vote. County Board member Eileen Higgins and former city manager Emilio Gonzalez advanced to the runoff. Higgins would go on to defeat Gonzalez in the runoff, making her the first Democrat to be elected mayor since 1997, and the first woman elected to lead Miami in the city's history. The 2025 election marked the first Miami mayoral election to advance to a runoff since 2001.
