The city of Miramar in Broward County, Florida, is gearing up for a commission election that will see at least two new faces on the five-member commission. Possibly three if the lone incumbent loses. The race is heating up with nine candidates vying for three at-large commission seats with a yearly salary of $49,461 each.
The candidates are facing a range of challenges, including a controversial proposal for a trash incinerator near the city limits. The candidates all agree on stopping the incinerator, calling for accountability in city spending, and addressing issues like affordable housing, policing, and infrastructure.
Incumbent Yvette Colbourne faces a challenge from write-in candidate Luis Pedraza for Commission Seat 2. Three candidates are running for Commission Seat 3, and four rivals are vying for Commission Seat 4. The winners of Seats 2 and 3 will serve a four-year term, while the winner of Seat 4 will serve the remaining two years of the term.
The candidates bring a mix of backgrounds and experiences to the race, with priorities ranging from fiscal responsibility to community engagement and public safety. The election is expected to shape the future direction of Miramar, a growing city with a diverse population of close to 140,000 residents. Voters will have the opportunity to choose candidates who align with their vision for the city’s development and address key issues facing the community.
