Black Miami Man Could Sue City Over Canceled 2025 Election

Miami elected officials messed around and might be about to find out after delaying the city’s November 2025 election by one year. At least one candidate for mayor has threatened a lawsuit, with state officials calling the move unconstitutional.

Nearly two weeks after Miami commissioners voted to delay the 2025 election, mayoral candidate Michael Hepburn announced on social media he was prepared to take legal action.

Citing alleged concerns around voter participation, city of Miami Commissioners voted 3-2 to delay the upcoming election a year. Commissioners Joe Carollo and Christine King, along with current Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, will have their terms now end in 2026 instead of this year. Terms for Commissioners Ralph Rosado, Damian Pardo, and Miguel Angel Gabela run through 2028, instead of 2027. Local reporting indicates the delay will save the city nearly $1 million.

King, Rosado, and Pardo voted in favor, with Gabela and Carollo voting against. Despite claims by the Miami city attorney that the move is legal, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a stern warning to city officials
