Daniella Levine Cava was elected as the Miami-Dade County Commissioner in 2014 and 2018, representing District 8. Her collection contains materials from her successful 2014 campaign, including correspondence, interviews, and periodicals documenting her initiatives on the campaign trail.

The Katy Sorenson papers document the career of Kathryn “Katy” Sorenson, a former Miami-Dade County Commissioner (District 8) for 16 years, from 1994–2010. As commissioner she was concerned with human rights, the environment, child welfare and the arts.  After leaving the County Commission, Sorenson founded the Good Government Initiative at the University of Miami to cultivate strong political leaders in South Florida. The collection consists primarily of campaign files, along with a number of scrapbooks and government and other documents relating to Sorenson’s terms as commissioner.
