Immigration & Border
The candidate supports pro-immigration positions and has said he does not want local police acting as federal immigration agents. He has described himself as pro-immigration while focusing on keeping municipal law enforcement separate from federal immigration enforcement.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Xavier Suarez publicly identified as pro‑life while serving as Miami mayor and issued a city proclamation designating January 22 as “Sanctity of Human Life Day,” a statement opposing abortion. The proclamation and related coverage reflect an anti‑abortion stance without evidence of support for a total ban or specific gestational‑limit policy in the available sources.
Climate & Energy
Supports climate adaptation and resilience measures for Miami, including investments in stormwater/sewer infrastructure and coastal defenses, and favors expanding free mass transit. Emphasizes pragmatic local solutions to sea-level rise rather than opposing climate action. No explicit advocacy for phasing out fossil fuels or for national-level measures (e.g., Green New Deal) was found in the cited materials.
