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is committed to expanding transit in Miami-Dade through expansion of the Metrorail, overhauling & electrifying our outdated bus system, and adding more charging stations for EVs throughout the county.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