After winning their respective elections this month, Miami Beach’s newly elected and reelected city leaders took their oaths of office Monday and called for civility after a divisive campaign season.

Mayor Dan Gelber and Commissioner Mark Samuelian, who won reelection Nov. 2, were sworn into office along with two newly elected commissioners, Kristen Rosen Gonzalez and Alex Fernandez, who won runoff elections on Nov. 16. Rosen Gonzalez previously served as a commissioner from 2015 to 2018.

Rosen Gonzalez, who has advocated for “saving” the North Beach library and the South Beach community center, supported a motion from Samuelian to defer the item for the Dec. 8 meeting.
