Meet Ken

Ken Russell is a former Miami City Commissioner, successful businessman, and a passionate community advocate seeking to be the Mayor of Miami. His journey into politics began with a simple but powerful mission: cleaning up a contaminated park where his children played. When the city refused to act, Ken organized his neighbors and got it done—proving that real change starts with the people.

That same determination propelled him into public office, where he took on critical issues like affordable housing, sea level rise, police accountability, and fair wages. He never shies away from a tough fight; then or now, even as he testifies to the corruption he witnessed as a Commissioner.

Before politics, Ken was a successful international businessman, traveling to over 50 countries and mastering five languages. Now, he’s ready to take on his biggest challenge yet: just as he cleaned up the park in front of his house, he’s ready to clean up the corruption in Miami City Hall.

Top Priorities

Courage

Stop Corruption

Corrupt practices waste taxpayer money. Miami must stop paying tens of millions of dollars in legal fees to defend the corrupt practices of elected officials and their staff and put that money to good use: Improving our neighborhoods.

Character

Affordable Housing

Ken worked to write the model code for workable, sustainable, affordable housing to those in need throughout the city, not just in concentrated areas. His expertise and experience will not only lead the charge for ongoing smart housing plans, it will also save you money by not falling prey to developer scams.

Community

Your Local Neighbor, not a career politician

We can’t keep electing the same people from the same political dynasties. It’s time for change. Ken will clean up City Hall, and it starts with lifetime term limits to remove “forever” politicians.

Ken is an optimist who believes in the future of Miami as the greatest city in the world. When we work together for what is right, anything is possible.

About

Ken’s journey into Politics wasn’t planned—it was personal!

Ken’s father, a World War II veteran, built a successful business in Cuba during the 1950s. But when Castro came to power, his business was seized, and he was forced to leave the country. He continued his international work from Miami and later married Ken’s mother, who immigrated from Japan. Together, they built a life grounded in resilience, family, and entrepreneurship.

Miami became home, and it gave Ken the foundation to build his own business. Life was good—until he found out the park across the street, where his daughters played, was dangerously contaminated. The city ignored it. But he couldn’t. Ken organized my neighbors, stood up to City Hall, and got it cleaned up. It wasn’t about politics—it was about doing what was right.

That fight led Ken to public service. With no big money, no political connections, and no famous last name, he ran for City Commissioner. The insiders laughed. But the people believed. And he won.

As Commissioner, Ken tackled real problems—fighting corruption, confronting climate threats, advocating for fair wages, and even picking up a chainsaw to clear hurricane debris when no one else would.

Now he’s seeking to be your next mayor—to clean up City Hall, just like he cleaned up that park.

Because Miami belongs to all of us. And together, we’re going to clean it up—for good.
