Government workers union AFSCME Local 1907 endorses Eileen Higgins (D) for Miami Mayor

A collective bargaining organization with many members across South Florida is getting behind former Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins in her bid for Miami Mayor.

AFSCME Local 1907, which Higgins’ campaign says represents more than 1,500 Miami general employees, just announced it is endorsing Higgins over former City Manager Emilio González, whom she’s competing against in a Dec. 9 runoff.

“The hardworking members of AFSCME Local 1907 with great pride endorse Eileen Higgins for Miami Mayor,” AFSCME President Sean Moy said in a statement.

“We believe Eileen’s leadership demonstrates an unwavering commitment to fairness, dignity, and respect for employees. Our members need leaders who understand their challenges and champion their rights. As Mayor, we are confident Eileen’s leadership will ensure that voices of city employees remain heard and respected.”
