DNC launches bilingual organizing blitz for Miami mayoral runoff as national stakes rise

[RandySF]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is mounting a major push in Miami ahead of the city’s Dec. 9 mayoral runoff, announcing a bilingual get-out-the-vote blitz to support former Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins.

The move comes as the technically nonpartisan race is rapidly nationalizing, with both parties now pouring resources into what some expect will be a low-turnout contest.

In a press note, the DNC outlined a multilayered organizing program to boost Higgins’ chances against Emilio González, a former Miami City Manager who was on President Donald Trump’s 2016 transition team.

It will include recruiting and training bilingual volunteers, activating the party’s national distributed volunteer network, and hosting English- and Spanish-language virtual phone banks aimed at driving turnout among Miami’s diverse electorate.

I personally won’t hold my breath.
