In the Miami- Dade County Citizens Redistricting Advisory Board Meeting on Oct 1, 2021, the following updates were discussed:
▪ District 5 Commissioner Eileen Higgins would represent all of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood under the proposed map. Currently, the southern portion of Brickell falls in Regalado’s District 7.
▪ Portions of Opa-locka would shift from Gilbert’s district to District 2, represented by Jean Monestime.
▪ In Hialeah, portions of that city, the second-largest in Miami-Dade, would shift from District 12, represented by Commission Chairman Jose “Pepe” Diaz, to Commissioner René Garcia’s District 13.
▪ South Miami currently falls fully in Regalado’s district, but the proposed map has part of the city moving into a new southern leg of District 6, represented by Rebeca Sosa
