Miami Beach Commissioner Laura Dominguez just nabbed an endorsement from the Miami Beach Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) as she seeks re-election.
Her campaign said the nod underscores her “proven record of supporting public safety, standing with law enforcement, and protecting Miami Beach families.”
Miami Beach FOP President Robert “Bobby” Hernandez agreed, adding that Dominguez “doesn’t just promise safer neighborhoods — she helps make them a reality.”
“Commissioner Dominguez’s track record of fully funding law enforcement, confronting out-of-control Spring Break disorder head-on, and enhancing specialized police patrols has helped our officers keep residents and families safe — which is why the Miami Beach FOP is proud to endorse her re-election,” he said in a statement.
Dominguez, who chairs the city’s Public Safety and Neighborhoods Quality of Life Committee, has been a member of the seven-seat City Commission since 2022. Her campaign website lists nearly 60 accomplishments, including her sponsorship of public safety-focused measures to roll back alcohol sales in certain parts of the city to 2 a.m., create a Spring Break Task Force to minimize disruptions, crack down on illegal beach vendors and spread awareness about the risk and impact of human trafficking.
Her campaign said she also secured increased resources for the Miami Beach Police Department and expanded specialized patrols like the ATV Beachwalk, DUI Traffic and Marine Patrol Units.
“Investing in public safety will always be a core priority for me,” she said in a statement.
“I’m proud to stand with the brave men and women of the Miami Beach Police Department who put their lives on the line to keep us safe, and honored to have the FOP’s support. This endorsement is deeply meaningful, and I look forward to continuing our work together to make Miami Beach safer, stronger, and more secure for every resident.”
A Cuban American born in Miami-Dade County, Dominguez worked in management for a quarter century in the cruise and travel industry before launching a media and marketing company, LD Digital Strategies, in July 2020.
Before her election to the City Commission, she served on several condo and homeowner association boards.
As of Tuesday morning, Dominguez, a 53-year-old Democrat, remains unopposed in the City Commission’s Group 2 race.
She reported raising $84,000 and loaning her campaign $100,000 in the first quarter of 2025.
The Miami Beach General Election is Nov. 4.
