All 3 major GOP candidates for Governor back 'battle-tested' Emilio Gonzlez (R) for Miami Mayor

Former City Manager Emilio González was already running for Miami Mayor with an endorsement from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Now all three major GOP candidates for Governor in 2026 are getting behind him, too.

The candidates — U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, Lt. Gov. Jay Collins and former House Speaker Paul Renner ­­— have now all endorsed González.

Donalds expressed his support on X, writing, “Emilio, you are the candidate to lead Miami into the future. You have my complete support to be the next Mayor of #Miami!”

Collins and Renner expressed their support earlier this month.
