The2013 Miami mayoral election took place on November 5, 2013. Incumbent MayorTomás Regalado ran for re-election to a second term. Though he was originally challenged by City CommissionerFrancis Suarez, the son of former MayorXavier Suarez,[1] Suarez dropped out of the race on August 26, 2013, blaming staffers for "mistakes we made" during the campaign.[2]
With Suarez out of the race, Regalado did not face a well-known opponent, and diverted most of his campaign funds toward supporting ballot measures that he supported.[3] Regalado ultimately won re-election in a landslide, receiving 78 percent of the vote.[4]
