Miami, FL – December 5, 2025 – In a bold move signaling the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) aggressive strategy to reclaim urban strongholds, the party announced today its direct involvement in Miami’s mayoral race, throwing support behind County Commissioner Eileen Higgins. The endorsement comes as early voting kicks off December 5-7, with Election Day set for December 9, pitting Higgins against Trump-backed Republican Emilio Gonzalez. The DNC is mobilizing bilingual volunteers and virtual phone banks to flip the seat blue ahead of the 2026 midterms, a critical battleground in Florida’s shifting political landscape.
Yet, Higgins’ campaign is mired in controversy. In a 2023 interview, she hailed her “political awakening” at an anti-death penalty event hosted by David Kaczynski, brother of Ted Kaczynski—the Unabomber, whose 17-year terror spree killed three and injured 23 through mail bombs targeting perceived symbols of industrial society. Critics decry this as sympathy for violent extremism, aligning with Higgins’ far-left record on criminal justice. As a commissioner, she championed reforms eliminating cash bail for many violent offenses in Miami-Dade County, policies linked to rising recidivism and the release of dangerous offenders. Pressed recently on expanding such measures as mayor, Higgins dodged, vaguely citing “public safety solutions that work.”
This DNC-backed push underscores a broader, insidious pattern: Democrats advancing city by city, installing radical candidates who erode governance through anti-law-enforcement ideologies. From bail abolition to glorifying eco-terrorists, these “reforms” undermine public order, prioritizing criminals over communities and paving the way for unchecked chaos in urban centers. The timing—coinciding with Kamala Harris’ Miami book tour—raises eyebrows about coordinated national efforts to radicalize local leadership.
As Miami voters weigh safety against ideology, Higgins’ Unabomber ties expose the Democratic Party’s embrace of extremism, threatening the rule of law one municipality at a time.
