Part of a series of profiles about the Miami mayoral candidates
It’s not like the Miami mayoral race needed another long shot candidate to crowd up the ballot, but Laura Anderson is running anyway. Anderson is one of the 13 people who want to be the mayor — but the only one who openly identifies as a socialist.
She’s never held office before. She’s not a developer, not a fundraiser, not a well-heeled civic name. She’s a freight railroad conductor, a Socialist Workers Party member, and a downtown resident with a vision that comes from the rails, not the boardrooms.

Born in St. Charles, Illinois, raised in the American Midwest, Anderson lived in Hialeah for about 14 months before she made her way in 2023 to Miami’s Model City neighborhood, where she lives and works for CSX Transportation. She’s a proud union member of SMART-TD Local 1138, a visible face of labor in transit and freight.
Anderson joined the Socialist Workers Party in the early ’90s during her fights against immigrant worker suppression (think Proposition 187 in California), protests over Rodney King, and solidarity missions to Cuba.
She is appealing to the working people of Miami who keep getting squeezed from every direction. Anderson wants a city that centers their attention on labor, housing, public transport, and community programs — not luxury towers and developer tax breaks.
Her campaign messaging is loud and clear in the Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey — and sort of new to Miami politics: She opposes U.S. imprialism abroad, calls for amnesty for undocumented workers, and frames the race as part of a broader workers’ struggle. Anderson backs union-led public works programs — more schools, bridges, housing — to put people to work. And she vows to defend workers’ rights, freedom of speech, assembly, due process, and push against capitalist interests she says currently dominate government.
She is going to have a hard time getting that message across with only $1,250 in campaign funds reported through September. But maybe the campaign for mayor is not the point. Anderson also uses campaign stops to promote The Militant newsweekly and socialist literature, often appearing at book fairs and labor events.

There are pluses and minuses to being Laura Anderson. The strengths: She’s authentic. In a race cluttered with suits and slogans, a conductor with union ties carries a kind of moral weight. She also speaks to a class many candidates ignore — the working class, public transit riders, overlooked communities.
Weaknesses? She’s got zero name recognition compared to commissioners, ex-mayors, and big money campaigns. Her platform is ideological and sweeping, while many voters want immediate fixes — trash, water pipes, policing — not system overhaul. And the big one: Socialist identity in Miami politics is the kiss of death. She may as well say she eats babies.
Anderson won’t win this mayor’s race — but perhaps her presence forces the other candidates to address labor, inequality, and the everyday struggles of people who don’t own condos or futures in real estate. In a field crowded with promise and ambition, Anderson is a reminder that governance is not just for the rich and well connected — it’s supposed to be for everyone.

Christian Cevallos, a home developer and former Miami-Dade County community council member, says he’s running for mayor of Miami because somebody needs to go through the city’s books.
“The first thing I’m going to do, and I want to say it real loud,” he told WPLG Local 10. “is I’m going to audit the past government.”
Cevallos, who was born in Ecuador and grew up working odd jobs after moving to Miami — from pizza joints in Little Havana to construction sites — says he knows what it means to build something from scratch. He studied business at Florida International University and later built his own company, America Promanagement LLC, which he says specializes in construction and real estate projects in Kendall.
Well, now it also dabbles in political consulting — as he’s paid himself $5,500 from his campaign account.
He also served two terms on Miami-Dade’s Community Council for District 11, which makes zoning recommendations to the county commission and sounds like a possible conflict of interest, seeing as how he’s in the construction business. But he said it showed him decisions made in ivory towers affect everyday residents — especially families, seniors, and people with special needs.

Cevallos used to live in West Kendall but has lived in the Brickell area since September of 2024 and says his campaign is about fairness and focus. And as he’s bern knocking on doors, he’s learned what voters care about, he said.
“They don’t want to know anything about politics because Miami has had such a bad reputation with politicians that they’re tired,” Cevallos said in his interview with WPLG Local 10. They want opportunities and transparency, he added. He wants to post all the city’s expenses online for everyone to see.
He said he wants to work with small developers, not the big corporations to build real affordable housing, cut the permit process for businesses to 90 days, and do more to keep some of the 28 million visitors who fly through Miami International Airport in the Magic City, instead of being a stop station to Orlando or Miami Beach. “Sometimes we have good parties, but we need to have more activities for people, for families.”
But his biggest talking point might be about taxes. He wants to cut property taxes completely for seniors and says it’s possible to lower overall property taxes by 25%. Where would he find the money: Salaries. He says there are a lot of overpaid city staffers.
Cevallos also is unafraid to call out the city’s neglect of its own communities. “Recently I was walking through Overtown and Little Haiti and some of these neighborhoods that need a lot of help.”
Cevallos’s campaign isn’t flashy — he doesn’t have the deep pockets or the name recognition of the political lifers in the race — but he’s betting that voters are ready for a builder who wants to clean up instead of cash in.
Still, Ladra can’t help but raise an eyebrow. Auditing City Hall sounds nice, but it’s also one of those promises that sound better on paper than in practice. Cutting taxes by a quarter while improving city services? That seems impossible.
But Cevallos insists he’s different — not one of those “big developers” he blames for Miami’s affordability mess. Whether voters buy that distinction will depend on how well he sells it between now and November 4.
Because in Miami politics, transparency is everyone’s favorite word — right up until the lights come on.

PACs are where the big money is at
The third quarter campaign finance reports for the Miami mayoral candidates seem to indicate a slow growth in economic means for the candidates. Political action committees are another matter, however, for those lucky enough to have them.
Miami-Dade Commmissioner Eileen Higgins, for example, got only $67,670 for the three month period through Sept. 30 for her campaign account, for a total of $155,000. But she netted more than $407,000 for her PAC, Ethical Leadership in Miami, which is almost three times that. The PAC has collected a total of almost $658,000.
Former City Manager Emilio Gonalez raised $89,800 in the third quarter, his second report, for a total of $159,081. But his PAC, Mission Miami, took in another $222,000 for a total of just over $903,000.

That’s already almost $2 million between them. But goes to more than $3 million when you add City Commissioner Joe Carollo.
Crazy Joe reported $26,550 in campaign contributions for the quarter, including many small bundles. But that’s because he’s been busy with his own PAC, Miami First, which reported an additional $686,230 in contributions, including $100,000 from an investment firm in Middleberg, Florida, just southwest of Jacksonville. The other biggies are:

$25,000 from auto mogul and former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, who has been deeply and consistently involved in Miami-Dade politics for decades — and practically funded the historic 2011 recall against then-Mayor Carlos Alvarez — using his personal wealth to act as a major political benefactor.
$25,000 from competing auto mogul Mario Murgado, who took pains to hide it, making it in the name of his Maserati dealership in New Jersey, for whatever reason, instead of Brickell Motors
$15,000 from Bayside Marketplace, which could be gratitude from his days as chairman of the Bayfront Park Management Trust or could be a shakedown.
$15,000 from construction consultant David Portal.
$10,000 from real estate investor and developer Craig Robbins, in four separate checks.
$10,000 from uber-connected lobbyist Melissa Tapanes.

Carollo’s PAC’s total, just for this election, so far? Close to $1.4 million.
Braman is hedging his bets, giving $10,000 also to the Imagine Miami PAC that belongs to former Miami-Dade Commissioner Mayor Sir Xavier Suarez, who wants his son’s job, which he had in the 90s. That’s more than the $12,850 that he got in total contributions for his campaign account. The PAC reported a total of $106,000, with $15,000 also coming from Maria Martin, wife of developer David Martin, who wants to take over the Rickenbacker Causeway (more on that later); $15,000 from Liberty Mission Critical, an electrical contractor; $15,000 from attorney Fernando Pomares; $12,500 from PMA Consultants, a construction management firm; $10,000 from OKO Group, owned by developer billionaire Vladislav Doronin, who has been described as a Russian oligarch; and another $10K from commercial real estate professional Teresa Blanca.
Former City Commissioner Ken Russell reported a meager $26,592 in contributions for the three months ending in September. His campaign total is an equally unimpressive $101,453. But his PAC, Break the Wheel, reported $43,000 in contributions in the same time. That includes $20,000 in bundled $5,000 checks from real estate investor David Medina and $10,000 from South Pointe Construction and Development, which helped build a medical office building in Coral Gables and affordable housing in Fort Lauderdale.

Former City Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla — arrested in 2023 on 14 public corruption charges, including bribery and money laundering, that were later dropped — had to reach into his own pocket to report anything, loaning himself $100,000 from his “lucrative” political consulting business to add to the $1,000 he got from an auto shop owner in Allapattah. ADLP, who got $100K for his PAC, Proven Leadership for Miami-Dade, from the same couple that was accused of bribing him in 2023 — he is defiant, if nothing else — collected a big fat nothing for his committee in the last quarter, according to his report, which lists a total in contributions at $278,000, but that includes $142K from himself. So he’s mostly self-funding this redemption tour.
Candidates Michael Hepburn, in his fifth try for public office, and former Miami-Dade Community Council member Christian Cevallos are also mostly self funding, but neither has surpassed $40,000. The other five candidates have not gotten even $4,000 in contributions: Laura Anderson, Elijah John Bowdre, Alyssa Crocker, Kenneth James DeSantis, and June Savage.
As far as total spending, so far, Gonzalez and Higgins also lead the pack, with $141,400 and $123,000, respectively, spent from their campaign accounts — and $651,215 and $553,228 from their PACs, respectively. Most of the money went to advertising and direct mail pieces. ADLP has spent $438,000, mostly from his PAC, since November, including $27,500 for a poll in September — right before qualifying, maybe to see if he’d do it — and $5,000 a month to political consultant Sasha Tirador. The rest goes mostly to gas, phone bills printing and “wages” for “campaign workers.”
Ken Russell has spent just over $166,000 as of the end of last month, including $52,000 paid to his political consultant Fernando Diez. He also spent $24,500 on polling data in April and $20K on a vote by mail campaign.
Suarez has spent almost all his campaign money, and all but $82,000 of his PAC funds, including close to $150,000 in “marketing,” which includes $2,500 to former Miami Commissioner Richard Dunn. He also gave $2,500 to the Stronger Miami PAC, which is collecting signatures to, among other things, expand the commission from 5 to 7 or 9 seats.
Christian Cevallos has spent $12,746, including $5,500 to his campaign manager — himself. The rest is mostly on printing, mailing and camp.
There are two more campaign finance reports due before the Nov. 4 election, one on Oct. 24 and another on Halloween. Expect that one to be scary.

The Women’s Republican Club of Miami Federated will have a forum next week for the Miami mayoral candidates — but the two Republican women in the race, June Savage and Alyssa Crocker, haven’t been invited.
Savage isn’t just Republican. She’s a dues-paying members of the club.
“There’s no excuse,” Savage told Political Cortadito. “Imagine advocating for conservative women and only inviting elite men. Appalling advocacy, that’s for sure.”
The club responded to Savage by telling her that the invite went only to the candidates who are polling over 5%, which is the same criteria used by the CBS Miami and Downtown Neighbors Association debate last month. So, did the WRCMF do their own poll? Or did they get DNA’s poll?
Read related: Alyssa Crocker: mother, advocate, fighter — and Miami mayoral candidate
Savage asked for the poll and calls the rationale a “bullshit meter.” So, Ladra can’t help but like her.
“No one knows who paid for it. No one got to see it,” she says about the poll. “And I know numbers go up and down within a week. I know Ken Russell‘s numbers are up, for instance.” That’s solid hearsay based on his performance at the DNA debate.
“All Republicans should be invited,” Savage said of the Republican club’s event Oct. 20, adding that all the Democrat candidates — that would include super long shot Elijah John Bowdre — were invited to the Coconut Grove Democratic Club’s forum earlier this month. “Why are we any different? Because we have more corruption on our end?”
It’s not just a problem for now, Savage says. “This will change the landscape of future grassroots candidates for years,” she said.
She’s not wrong.
Savage is also upset for Crocker, who is a black woman Republican. “This would be a fantastic way to promote to our daughters and sons that you don’t have to be white to run for office, that you don’t have to be a man,” she told Ladra.
Emails and calls to Aida Zayas, the president of the WRCMF, were not returned. Megan Pearl, the club’s secretary, responded in an email: “We give a platform to Republican candidates irrespective of gender because our mission as reflected in our mission statement is to elect Republicans to office. In this instance we decided to limit the size of the panel to afford our members time to hear those candidates polling at over 5% answer more questions.”
That’s not exactly what it says on the organization’s website, under the “Our Mission” area: “WRCMF nurtures a robust network of women in South Florida who produce results in elections. We commit ourselves to advance the participation of Republican Women in all areas of the political system and are dedicated to encouraging and empowering women of all ages and backgrounds. Our goal is to strengthen the Republican Party and work to influence the crucial issues that face our community, state, and nation.”
Keyword: Women. It’s in there twice. No matter.
“We’ve had prior panels with large numbers of candidates and we felt given how this election has been on and off, and is quickly approaching, it would be the in the best interest of our members to get the maximum time to hear those candidates with the best chance of winning,” Pearl said. “Accordingly, we invited those candidates who are registered republicans and polling over 5%.”
Read related: June Savage: The uninvited guest who won’t stay quiet in Miami mayor’s race
Cut out the two Democrats in the top — Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins and former Miami Commissioner Russell — and the lone independent, which is former Miami-Dade Commissioner Mayor Sir Xavier Suarez, and that leaves us with three men standing: Commissioner Joe Carollo, former Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla, and former city manager Emilio Gonzalez, who, las malas lenguas say, already has the club’s support.
Gonzalez told Political Cortadito that he thought the women should be invited.
“If you’re going to have a women’s Republican event and there are women Republican candidates, I think all Republicans should be invited,” he said, adding that he does not have an inside track. “I don’t know anybody there.”
Savage said she contacted State Rep. Alex Rizo, the past chairman of the Miami-Dade Republican Party, and got this response: “I find this troubling and offensive and would use this as an opportunity to call ut the WRCM and place a questioning spotlight on them,” she said he texted her. “You have just as much legitimacy to be showcased as a candidate at that event as any other that has been invited. Un fact, I would say that you should have been one of the first to be invited as a dues paying member.
“Regardless of where you are polling right now.”
The club has a week to course correct. The event starts at 6 p.m. Monday, October. 20, at Bay 13, 65 Alhambra, in Coral Gables, which is outside the city of Miami, where there are probably lots of places they could have held this event and drawn more actual voters.

Part of a series of profiles about the Miami mayoral candidates
Mayoral candidate June Savage — who could have the best political name ever for wild Miami — might not be on every debate stage. But that hasn’t stopped her from making noise in the city’s crowded race.
The real estate sales associate with One Sotheby’s says she’s running for mayor because she’s tired of “government waste,” crumbling infrastructure, environmental neglect, and what she sees as a general lack of safety in the city she calls home. Savage who lives near Coconut Grove, is one of 13 candidates vying for the mayor’s seat in the Nov. 4 election — and she’s not shy about saying exactly what she thinks.
“I am a perfectionist and not attached to lobbyists or developers,” Savage told the Miami Herald recently. “I have international business experience along with high-level management and negotiation skills. I am boots on the ground. I stay true to my promises and speak truth.”
That last part checks out. Savage definitely speaks truth — or at least her truth — and she does it loud enough for everyone to hear.
She’s already earned a bit of a reputation for calling out what she sees as unfair treatment by the political establishment. Savage crashed one of the first mayoral forums, hosted by a group of progressive organizations, and was not allowed in. Then she complained about being excluded from the Downtown Neighbors Alliance debate, which only invited the six candidates that polled over 5%. And now the Republican woman — one of two in the race — is protesting the Women’s Republican Club of Miami Federated, after they didn’t invite her to their own candidate meet-and-greet.
Read related: Eight candidates, maybe 9, will attend progressive Miami mayoral forum
In other words, if there’s a mayoral stage in Miami, June Savage wants on it — and she’s not afraid to make a scene if she’s left out.
While she is sometimes spotted wearing a MAGA hat, it’s green not red, and she’s also not your typical GOP echo chamber. Savage calls herself “a liberal Republican.” She loves the arts and theater, plays the congas and paints, and has been seen riding her bicycle with her parrot on her shoulder at the “hippie market” in the Grove.
“People just want to label you because you’re registered with a specific party,” Savage told Political Cortadito, adding that the GOP just has a “better business sense.” But she identifies more as a DAR — or member of the Daughters of the American Revolution — which is now promoting diversity to erase their racist past.
She promises to be a present mayor and says she will quit her luxury residential real estate work — “it’s very easy for me to refer out business” — and be full time at City Hall. “Francis has been going around being Mr. Tech, Mr. Bitcoin. All he does are his workout videos.”
While she is not against growth, she says construction has gone out of control and overstepped the infrastructure. She wants to see more “green initiatives” and especially wants to do something to shore up the barrier islands and update the city’s hurricane plan. She also says that the city needs to be more involved in getting more educational choices for Miami families. But, according to her website, her political bread and butter is the same as everyone else’s: Address the homelessness, support first responders, fight for Biscayne Bay, and simplify the permitting process.
Blah, blah, blah. We’ve heard it all before.
She has also spoken at the city commission meetings and recently supported the giveaway of the Olympia Theater to Academica for its SLAM charter school to use.
Read related: One-liners and other memorable moments from Miami mayoral debate
Savage has flirted with political ambition before, once campaigning to run for mayor of Miami Beach. Now she’s shifted those high hope sights across Biscayne Bay to the big chair at City Hall. Her campaign style is direct, sometimes abrasive, and unapologetically her. She doesn’t mince words, hedge bets, hide her frustrations, and doesn’t seem to care who gets uncomfortable when she talks.
That bluntness has earned her a few admirers — and a few critics. Some who’ve seen her at community meetings or online comment threads say she “tells it like it is.” Others say she comes off as politically incorrect, making jokes about women by age and weight.
Still, Savage seems undeterred. She’s positioning herself as the no-nonsense, outsider candidate — the one who isn’t backed by lobbyists, unions, or developers. The one who will, in her words, “stay true to her promises and speak truth.”
Ladra’s seen a lot of candidates like that come and go, but there’s something undeniably Miami about June Savage’s campaign. A little drama, a little defiance, and a whole lot of “I’ll do it my way.”
It’s highly unlikely that she gets double digits, let alone make it into a runoff. But one thing is certain: June Savage isn’t going quietly.

Part of a series of profiles about the Miami mayoral candidates
Alyssa Crocker says she’s not a politician — and she’s right. She’s a mother of two, an advocate for families with special needs kids, and a newcomer to Miami’s political circus. But she’s also one of the 13 people running for City of Miami mayor this November, hoping voters will see something different in her story.
To be sure, she is one of the lucky seven candidates considered long shots in this crowded clusterbunch that includes experienced, known (read: tainted) frontrunners like Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins, former City Commissioner Ken Russell and former City Manager Emilio Gonzalez, as well as oxygen-sucking parasites like Commissioner Joe Carollo and former City Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla, whose campaign is really a redemption tour after public corruption charges against him were dropped last year. Former Miami-Dade Commissioner Mayor Sir Xavier Suarez — who was the first Cuban-born mayor of Miami in 1995 — wants his old job back, too.
So, there’s very little room in the clown car for relatively unknowns like Crocker, who is one of the candidates that has not been invited to a number of forums or the Downtown Neighbors Association debate with CBS Miami because she polled under 5%. She has only raised $1,500, and no contribution is bigger than $350. So, there’s very little campaign presence. And she has zero endorsements.
But this is likely not the last time we’ve heard from her.

Crocker, who lives in Little Havana but says she has family ties to Liberty City, claims she has spent the last decade working remotely in business development, though she didn’t list a primary or secondary income source in her qualifying papers. She’s been something of a nomad over the past five years — with addresses in Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Augustine, West Palm Beach, and Miami Shores — before settling in Miami, where Crocker now wants to take on City Hall. She had a business in St. Augustine, LJG Staffing Solutions, but it went inactive in 2021.
She might look like a bombshell on Love Island or like she just walked off a fashion runway, but Crocker’s got a lot going on behind that show-stopper smile.
Her campaign website paints the picture of a woman forged by adversity and driven by purpose. A proud mom of two boys with special needs — one with a rare genetic disorder and the other with autism — Crocker says her life has been defined by “resilience, compassion, and relentless determination.” She’s been an advocate for equal access to healthcare, affordable services, and better support for children and adults with disabilities.
Crocker’s previous address in Liberty City is also home to Jay’s Learning Center, an after-school, day-care and tutoring space for under-served children in the community. It is owned by Beverly Crocker-Johnson.
But her personal story goes much deeper — and darker. Crocker’s father, Dr. Derek Crocker, died as a result of medical negligence at North Shore Medical Center, she says — a tragedy that pushed her into the world of legislative advocacy. She’s testified and worked on state bills this year that focused on medical accountability in the case of negligent death.
Read related: Primetime politics: Local 10 News puts Miami mayoral hopefuls in the hot seat
“I still hear my father’s death rattle in my ear,” she testified in Tallahassee six months ago for a law that modified the state’s medical malpractice laws repealing restrictions on wrongful death lawsuits, allowing certain family members to sue for non-economic damages like pain and suffering and removing exceptions that prevented adult children from suing for a parent’s death and parents from suing for the death of an adult child due to medical negligence.
“I haven’t slept very much since he died. In every other setting, senseless murder leads to a trial and incarceration,” Crocker said, standing at the podium in the state capitol. “In a medical setting, as an adult child of divorced parents in Florida, it’s led to my grief, fear and my soul irreparably shattered in microscopic fragments, near remnants of what it once was.
“Beyond fear and grief, I feel festering rage and indescribable pain,” she said, her voice breaking with emotion.
“Nobody should have to go through this, but here we are. Florida citizens will continue to endure devastating and senseless loss if we do not pass this bill,” she said. “My father’s death should not be in vain.”
And she’s not shy about naming that same motivation in her campaign — “justice, accountability, and community reform.”
But it might just be in her DNA.
Her uncle Jay was the victim of a hate crime that she says helped shape national precedent. Her grandfather and another uncle served in the military, and that sense of duty shows in her campaign platform, which pledges to support veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and families struggling to make ends meet in an increasingly unaffordable city.
Read related: One-liners and other memorable moments from Miami mayoral debate
If elected mayor Crocker promises to demand accountability and transparency, strengthen domestic violence prevention, prioritize veterans’ housing, and tackle climate resilience and youth crime. It’s an ambitious to-do list for someone who’s still relatively new to Miami politics — and to Miami, period.
But maybe that’s the point. Crocker is selling herself as an outsider — someone untainted by the political games and pay-to-play culture that has dogged the city for decades. Her campaign pitch is personal: she’s not running as a politician, she says, but as “a mother, a neighbor, and a fighter who believes Miami can and must do better.”
Ladra doesn’t really believe that Crocker can turn her life story into a viable mayoral campaign. Voters will see her as just another earnest long shot in a crowded field. But she’s got heart, hustle, and a message about accountability that might just resonate with Miamians tired of the same old song. In a race this crowded, a little sincerity might be refreshing.
And memorable.
