Miami GOP mayoral hopeful slammed his Democrat opponent Eileen Higgins’ affordability agenda as a "statist" path that traps residents in permanent rental status.

Higgins won 35.96 percent of the vote, while Gonzalez took home 19.47 percent. Higgins, a Miami-Dade County commissioner who resigned her office to run for mayor, has emphasized "building an affordable and prosperous future." She has touted her successes as county commissioner in investing nearly $3 million in small business grants and investments in building nearly 7,000 affordable housing units.
However, in an interview with Fox News Digital, Gonzalez, who is an Army veteran, former West Point teacher and business leader, warned that while Higgins has emphasized affordability in her campaign, her policies would stunt the American dream and keep citizens in perpetual renter status.
