The 2021 Hialeah mayoral election took place on November 7, 2021. Incumbent Mayor Carlos Hernández was term-limited and unable to run for re-election to a third term. Five candidates ran to succeed him, with former County Commissioner Esteban Bovo and former City Councilmember Isis Garcia-Martinez emerging as the frontrunners.[1] During the campaign, Bovo was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, who remained popular in the city.[2]
Bovo ultimately won the election by a wide margin, winning 59 percent of the vote and avoiding a runoff election, while Garcia-Martinez placed a distant second with 22 percent.[3]
Bovo did not end up serving out his full term, however. He resigned on April 27, 2025,[4] to join a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C.[5]
