Today, City of Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins delivered her first State of the City address through a video message. Under the City Charter, the mayor must prepare and deliver a report on the state of the city annually between November 1 and January 31.
Mayor Higgins, who has served as mayor since December 18, 2025, spoke directly to Miami residents, highlighting early priorities and initial accomplishments, and outlined how her administration will deliver faster, more responsive service across City government.
"In my first month, I have been listening to residents and to the City employees who keep Miami running," saidMayor Higgins. "People want a City that treats them like customers, solves problems, and delivers results. This State of the City is about where we are, and where we are going, toward a safer, stronger, more responsive Miami that works for you."
