"One of my top priorities as Sheriff will be cracking down on corruption, with a special focus on HOAs. It’s time to protect our residents from those who abuse their power," Cordero-Stutz said. "With unyielding determination, our Sheriff’s Office will establish stringent oversight mechanisms, transparent processes, and a zero-tolerance policy against public corruption of all types that erode the public trust."

Along with combatting corruption, Cordero-Stutz has vowed to crack down on illegal immigration if elected as sheriff. Cordero-Stutz also stressed the importance of building relationships with community leaders, including with Miami-Dade County Democratic Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Miami-Dade has had an appointed "police director" since 1966. In 2018, Florida voters restored the elected sheriff position after passing Amendment 10.

Cordero-Stutz is a 28-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department. Over the years, she moved up in rank and currently works as Assistant Director of Investigative Services for the department.
