She’s a mom, a lawyer, and a first-time candidate taking on the entrenched politics of Miami Beach - and she’s not backing down.
Monique Pardo Pope’s decision to run for Miami Beach Commission was sparked by seeing firsthand the challenges facing her neighborhood, schools, and community. With the December 9 runoff approaching, Monique shares with me her vision for a “Safer • Smarter • Stronger Miami Beach” - and the real, practical solutions she believes are long overdue.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Miami Beach’s public safety problem is bigger than headlines suggest
- The truth about homelessness on the Beach, and the policies that actually work
- What’s happening inside local schools like Nautilus, and why parents are sounding alarms
- How the affordability crisis is pushing out the next generation of residents
- Whether the Live Local Act is a solution or a political talking point
- The real cost of unchecked development—and the opportunity to rebuild smarter
- Why she’s betting her first-ever political run on a Safer • Smarter • Stronger Miami Beach
