Miami-Dade's first sheriff election in decades features 2 experienced candidates

DORAL, Fla. – A historic race for sheriff is underway in Miami-Dade County, a position not voted on in the county since the 1960s.

Rosie Cordero-Stutz (R), the assistant director of investigative services at the Miami-Dade Police Department, is running against James Reyes (D), who serves as the department’s public safety director.

She began her career at MDPD as a police officer nearly 30 years ago, working her way up from a patrol officer to her current rank and working on everything from robbery cases to homicides.....

Reyes (D) has held his position as public safety director for the past year, appointed by Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Before that, he was hired to run Miami-Dade County Corrections following more than 20 years at the Broward Sheriff’s Office, where he led the department of administration and, before that, the department of detention.
