Positions
Economy & Taxes
Emilio T. González’s campaign advocates significant tax relief measures, including eliminating property taxes for homesteaded residents and pursuing repeal of the state “death tax.” His platform emphasizes reducing the tax burden on homeowners and opposing tax hikes while characterizing government spending as inefficient and in need of cuts.
Healthcare
Emilio González proposes a city-run buy-in option allowing City of Miami residents to purchase the same health plan offered to city employees, with residents paying their own premiums and no new subsidies or government expansion. His plan emphasizes using the city’s bargaining power to lower costs for families and small businesses while avoiding new taxes or bureaucracy.

Immigration & Border
Emilio González supports cooperation with federal immigration authorities and favors limited local law-enforcement collaboration with federal agents rather than sanctuary-style restrictions. His public statements during the Miami mayoral campaign emphasize enforcement cooperation while framing it as limited to selected officers. He previously served as Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Climate & Energy
Supports strengthening Miami’s climate resilience and investing in infrastructure to address sea-level rise, flooding, and extreme heat; emphasizes improving the city’s resilience and continuing projects started during his time as city manager (e.g., Miami Forever Bond flood mitigation). Positions focus on adaptation and city-scale climate and sustainability planning rather than rejecting climate action or prioritizing fossil-fuel expansion.
Public Safety & Guns
Emilio González emphasizes prioritizing public safety by strongly supporting law enforcement, budgeting for police priorities, and pursuing removal/prosecution of violent offenders. His campaign highlights endorsements from multiple former police chiefs and frames public-safety policy around stronger policing and enforcement. There are no clear campaign statements endorsing expanded gun-control measures in the cited materials.
