The 2008 Miami-Dade County mayoral election took place on August 26, 2008. Incumbent Mayor Carlos Álvarez ran for re-election to a second term. Despite speculation that State House Speaker Marco Rubio would challenge Álvarez for re-election,[1] Rubio ultimately declined to run,[2] leaving Álvarez without a serious competitor. Retired teacher Helen Williams filed to run against Álvarez, but raised little money prior to the election.[3] Álvarez ultimately won re-election in a landslide, receiving 65 percent of the vote. However, Álvarez would not end up serving his full term as Mayor; in 2011, he was recalled by voters.
