The 2019 North Miami mayoral election took place on May 14, 2019. Incumbent Mayor Smith Joseph was term-limited and unable to seek re-election to a third term. Four candidates ran to succeed him: Vice Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime; Mac-Kinley Lauriston, the chief of staff to County Commissioner Jean Monestime ; former mayoral candidate Danielle Beauvais, and retired physician Hector Medina.[ 1]
During the campaign, Bien-Aime was sued by a former staffer for sexual assault and harassment. He denied the allegations as "fabricated and untrue,"[ 2] [ 3]
Despite the scandal, Bien-Aime won the election by a wide margin, winning 52 percent of the vote and avoiding the need for a runoff election.[ 4]
