The
2014 North Miami mayoral special election
took place
on November 4, 2014, following a primary election on August 26,
2014. Following her victory in the
, Mayor
was indicted by federal prosecutors on charges
relating to a $8 million mortgage fraud scheme.
She was
later suspended from office by Governor
,
and a
special election was held to fill the remainder of her term in
office.
Three candidates ran in the special election: former Mayor
, former City Councilman Jean Marcellus, and
physician
, all of whom unsuccessfully ran in the
previous mayoral election.
In the primary election, Burns
placed first, winning 45 percent of the vote, and advanced to a
runoff election against Joseph, who placed second with 38
percent of vote.
Joseph ultimately defeated Burns, 54–46
percent, and served out the remainder of Tondreau's term.
