Yesterday, the DNC announced a new organizing blitz to support Miami mayoral candidate Eileen Higgins ahead of the runoff election on December 9. Under DNC Chair Ken Martin’s mission to organize everywhere, the DNC is activating its national volunteer base to participate in GOTV efforts and turn out Miami voters. This is on top of the DNC’s monthly investments into Florida’s Democratic Party to help build Democratic power across the state. 

The DNC is all-in to elect Eileen Higgins and ensure Miami families have a champion fighting on their behalf, not Donald Trump. 

Take a look at some of the coverage below: 

Miami Herald: The Democratic National Committee is getting involved in the Miami mayor’s race

[Claire Heddles, 11/20/25]

“The Democratic National Committee is ‘all-in’ on Eileen Higgins in the race for Miami mayor after Donald Trump endorsed her opponent, Emilio González. 

“The national arm of the Democratic Party — which doesn’t usually get involved in local mayoral races — is planning to promote the race to its ‘national distributed volunteer base’ to help turn out voters. The DNC is actively recruiting bilingual volunteers in Miami and plans to host virtual phone banks in support of Higgins. …

“‘Between now and Election Day, the DNC is all-in to elect Eileen Higgins and ensure Miami families have a champion who is fighting for them, not Donald Trump,’ DNC Chairman Ken Martin said. …

“‘When you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere — including here in Florida, where Democrats are fighting to flip Miami’s mayorship for the first time in nearly 30 years,’ Martin said.”

“The Democratic National Committee is sending reinforcements to help elect a Democrat as Miami’s mayor, further nationalizing the race after President Donald Trump endorsed a Republican ally for the job. …

“‘Between now and Election Day, the DNC is all-in to elect Eileen Higgins and ensure Miami families have a champion who is fighting for them, not Donald Trump,’ DNC chair Ken Martin said in a statement.

“The DNC is activating its national volunteer base and hosting virtual phone banks in English and Spanish to help turn out voters for Higgins, as well as recruiting and training bilingual voters who’ll be on the ground.

“The party didn’t say how much it was spending on the effort, but noted Democrats have been investing $22,500 a month into states that are traditionally Republican and making a commitment to build up support in the South. Martin, in a statement, tied González to Trump’s ‘toxic agenda,’ citing how 1.5 million Floridians were expected to lose health insurance, most coming from lapsed Obamacare funding Trump opposes reinstating.”
