Philippe on the Issues
Affordable Housing
While Mayor of North Miami, we’ve added over 2,500 new units of affordable housing and more units are on the way. My affordable housing plan would involve renovating old buildings with government subsidies and new developments would include units that are affordable.
People, Parks and Programming
Activate our parks with programming, community events, and ongoing social services. Mentorship programs for local youth focusing on sports, technology, dance, mental health, and youth enrichment activities. Expand programming with notable community-based organizations to provide workforce training and ongoing services.
Bring affordability to all.
Rent and home prices have skyrocketed, and unfortunately, wages have stayed low. We need to create policies that promote affordability for everyday services and necessities.
As we continue to develop Miami-Dade County, Philippe will prioritize affordable housing and community investments.
Public Safety
Reduce crime by focusing on community policing, visibility in the community and community engagements with residents and the youth. My vision for District 2 is what we’ve accomplished in North Miami where crime is at its lowest level in over 50 years.
Transportation and Resiliency
Update bus transfers, stop locations and enhance safe bike/pedestrian movements. Increase drainage repairs to address flooding and create a comprehensive flood mitigation plan.
Community and Home Beautification
Invest in cleaning our community, updating sanitation services and protect single family homes communities and expand home rehab programs. Increase funding opportunities for homes severely impacted by flooding and expand first-time home buyer education and incentives for home improvements.
Job and Business Support
Invest in responsible projects to create long-term jobs. Train residents how to successfully create and manage their own small business. Support small businesses, fund co-working spaces, and increase investment opportunities. Update aging infrastructure to attract new business opportunities.
Support local business.
Philippe has seen firsthand how the pandemic has hurt locally owned small businesses. He’ll work to reinforce assistance and training programs offered by Miami-Dade County so that we can strengthen the local economy.
Partnerships with small businesses can help our community flourish.

Improve transportation solutions.
People need to have confidence in their public and private transportation systems, and Miami-Dade County has failed in that promise. Constant construction makes roadways unsafe and slow traffic to a standstill. Development of our rail system has been slow and our bus logistics need to be revamped.
Philippe will work towards solutions that keep everyone connected and make it easier to traverse our beautiful county.
Assist those in need.
This pandemic has been difficult for everyone, and many people were struggling just to get by before COVID-19 hit. We need to support everyone in Miami-Dade County through forward-thinking city services that uplift and empower those in need.
As proven by his tenure as Mayor of North Miami, Philippe knows how to design and implement these programs for the benefit of all residents.
Guarantee a sustainable future.
Miami-Dade County is ground zero for the climate crisis. If we don’t work now to slow climate change, our residents will face ever-worsening flooding, home values will plummet, and people will lose their jobs.
Philippe is committed to sustainable development solutions and will fight for green policies across county departments.
