MAYOR STEVEN MEINER
A Mayor Who Puts Residents First
Steven Meiner was elected Mayor of Miami Beach in 2023 with a clear mandate: restore public safety, protect our quality of life, and bring transparency and accountability back to local government - and he has delivered.
As a former City Commissioner and longtime public servant, Steven has always stood up for what’s right — even when it wasn’t popular. He’s led bold legislative efforts to crack down on repeat offenders, expand police presence, clean up public spaces, and fight overdevelopment.
Steven believes in a simple but powerful principle: Miami Beach should be the best and safest city in America. That means focusing on the basics — safe neighborhoods, clean streets, and responsible governance that respects your time, your money, and your voice.
MAYOR STEVEN MEINER: ACTION, NOT PROMISES.
