Miami, FL - Today, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced her endorsement of José Javier Rodríguez for Florida Attorney General, highlighting his record of delivering results for working families and his long-standing commitment to the Miami-Dade community.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Cava shared, "I have known José Javier Rodríguez for over 20 years, and I can say without hesitation that he is exactly the person we need standing up for the rights of Florida's families.
"When I think about the fights that matter most to Miami-Dade — protecting Biscayne Bay, holding polluters accountable, making sure our environment is defended by people who answer to science and the public, — I think about leaders like José Javier. He has always understood that a clean bay, clean air, and protected wetlands are not special interests. They are the foundation of our quality of life and our economy.
"He fights for consumer rights against the exploiters . He stands for voting rights when others look away. He represents workers — janitors, cab drivers, security guards — whose wages were stolen, because he believes the law should protect the vulnerable, not the powerful.
"Florida deserves a lawyer who is genuinely in its corner. I am proud to endorse my friend José Javier Rodríguez to serve as Florida's next Attorney General, and I ask every Floridian who believes in honest, independent, people-first leadership to stand with him."
Levine Cava and Rodríguez have worked closely together for years, partnering on key issues across Miami-Dade, from addressing climate impacts to protecting workers and expanding opportunity. Throughout her career, Levine Cava has been a tireless advocate for working families and a results-driven leader focused on delivering meaningful change across the county.
“As Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava has led with vision, compassion, and a strong focus on delivering for our community,” said Jose Javier Rodríguez. “She has been a trusted partner in tackling the challenges facing Miami-Dade, and I’m honored to have her support in this race.”
This endorsement adds to the growing list of respected leaders backing Rodríguez’s campaign, including U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor, former Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth, former U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, former Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg, former Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber, and former state legislator and former Florida Attorney General candidate Sean Shaw.
