Miami-Dade Commissioner Oliver Gilbert has tendered his resignation for District 1.

Reliable sources have confirmed to M•I•A Media Group that Gilbert will be running for Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson’s seat.

Wilson announced her retirement earlier today.

“After years of service, reflection and gratitude, I’ve come to the understanding that public service, it’s not really about holding the title. It’s about helping people and moving communities forward,” said Gilbert in a Facebook post.

“That mission continues even as seasons change. Serving as your Commissioner, your Vice Chairman, and your Chairman of the board of Miami-Dade County Commissioners has truly been one of the honors of my life and I’ll always be grateful for the trust this community placed in this young boy from Miami Gardens.”

Gilbert’s statement follows the resignation of State Senator Shevrin Jones on Thursday.

Jones also announced his resignation on social media.

“This year my senate seat is on the ballot and after a lot of prayer, reflection and honest conversation with the people closest to me, I have decided that I will not seek re-election to the Florida Senate,” said Jones on X.

In a statement to M•I•A Media Group, Jones said that he is considering the best course of action to administer to the needs of his constituents.

“I haven’t spoken with the Congresswoman about her plans/timeline. At the end of the day, our communities deserve bold leadership with the energy and urgency to tackle problems — especially in this moment as our rights and representation are under attack here in Florida and across the country,” said Jones.

“I’m humbled by the encouragement and will continue to serve in whatever capacity I can to do the most good for our people.”

Rudolph Moise and Christine Alexandria Sanon-Jules, formerly Christine Alexandria Olivo, have already announced their candidacy for the 24th District.

Moise switched from the race in Florida’s 20th District and joined Sanon-Jules, who declared her candidacy in April.
