2021 North Miami mayoral election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021 North Miami mayoral election took place on May 11, 2021. Incumbent Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime ran for re-election to a second term. He was challenged by Michael Etienne, the former city clerk. During the campaign, Etienne attacked Bien-Aime for fiscal irresponsibility and argued that it was "absolutely imperative" to rein in the city's budget deficit, while Bien-Aime attacked Etienne for mismanagement of the city clerk's office.[1] Bien-Aime ultimately defeated Etienne in a landslide, winning 64 percent of the vote to Etienne's 36 percent.[2]

Bien-Aime would not end up serving out his full term as Mayor. In 2022, he unsuccessfully ran for the County Commission, forcing him to resign as mayor under Florida's resign-to-run law.[3]
