How old was Eileen Higgins when she became mayor?

Question

Accepted Answer

That's correct—61 years old when sworn in Dec. 18, 2025. She's a civil engineer with an MBA, worked as a diplomat, served as Miami-Dade County Commissioner (2018-2025). Older than many "rising star" Democrats but brought decades of government experience. Her age contrasts with González's younger profile—he was 47. Higgins argued experience matters more than youth when tackling housing, infrastructure, and climate. Her victory suggests voters agreed: competence and local knowledge trump generational appeal in municipal races.
