Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami city Mayor Francis Suarez and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber used a Wednesday conference appearance to present a united front on climate change, a rare bipartisan agreement on an issue that has split both major parties on the national level.

“We’ve never had a moment of partisan disagreement publicly or privately,” Gelber said at the “Aspen Ideas: Climate” conference in Miami Beach. While both he and Levine Cava are Democrats, Suarez is a Republican.
