Priority Issues

Miami-Dade County Hall

Public Corruption

  • From County Hall, to City Halls throughout Miami-Dade, our community is suffering from a crisis of ethics and a lack of leadership.

  • Cindy Lerner believes that holding elected office means serving the public, not self-interest or special interests.

  • As a County Commissioner, Cindy will fight for ethical government, independent oversight, and transparency.

Holding the line on the Urban Development Boundary, Overdevelopment

  • Raquel Regalado broke her promise to the residents of Miami-Dade when she voted to move the UDB & build warehouses over nearly 400 acres of sensitive wetlands in the Everglades.

  • Everglades restoration is critical for our long-term ability to stay resilient against the threats of flooding & sea level rise, as well as protecting our drinking water.

  • Cindy will always put Miami-Dade's future before the interests of big developers.

Expanding Transit Options

  • Everyday drivers and users of transit in Miami-Dade experience anger and frustration from the battle they face to get to work or other obligations of daily life. We were promised transit and we don’t have it.

  • Cindy is committed to expanding transit in Miami-Dade through expansion of the Metrorail, overhauling & electrifying our outdated bus system, and adding more charging stations for EVs throughout the county.

  • She would also make maintenance and improvements to existing Metrorail stations a priority. Broken elevators and escalators at stations have become the new normal, leaving parents with strollers and wheelchair patrons with inconsistent, unacceptable transit options.

Flooding and Rising Seas

  • The effects of flooding, sea level rise, and extreme weather conditions are being felt in Miami-Dade nearly every day - and Cindy believes the County needs to do more, more quickly.

  • As Mayor of Pinecrest, Cindy created a Climate Action Plan, and organized dozens of Mayors from across Miami-Dade to work together to address these issues.

  • As County Commissioner, Cindy will increase cooperation and partnership between Miami-Dade County and the cities and towns within District 7 to combat flooding and rising seas.
