About Commissioner

Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis Bio

Alexandra P. Davis was born in England and raised in Jamaica, where she attended Mico Practicing All Age School, Wolmer’s Girls’ High School, and the University of the West Indies (UWI), obtaining her BSc. Degree in Zoology and Chemistry at their Mona campus. She is the mother of one son, Dr. Chevone Davis-Raglan, PharmD, whom she raised as a single parent.

Alexandra has spent most of her life in public service, having worked for the Ministry of Agriculture in Kingston, Jamaica, The Capital Taxes office in London, England, and Miami-Dade County Government in Florida.

In keeping with her heritage, she created a non-profit organization called Caribefest, Inc. in 2003 to foster diversity, tolerance, and unity in the Miramar community, whose Caribbean population was growing exponentially. The efforts of this organization led to the creation of the Caribbean cultural festival, Caribefest, where the various cultures of the Caribbean converged with the sights, sounds, and tastes of the islands.

Over the years, she has served on various Miramar boards, including the Planning and Zoning Board, the Community Services Board, and the Education Board. In 2010, she ran for the office of Miramar City Commissioner, following her passion for public service. From a field of six other qualified candidates, she emerged victorious.

She became the Miramar Vice Mayor in 2013 and worked on numerous initiatives while in office, such as creating a Youth Apprenticeship program, proposing the building of the community band-shell and the police substation in the eastern/historic section of Miramar, ensuring all schools had school resource officers, including public charter schools, legislating that seniors who qualified no longer paid City taxes, and proposing the city’s first Dog Park and Skate Park.

After a four-year hiatus, Alexandra P. Davis returned to politics, winning Miramar Commission seat 4 in March 2019. She was voted amongst her peers to be Vice Mayor for 2019-2020 and again voted in as Vice Mayor in 2023. On being elected, she re-proposed and successfully implemented a body-worn camera program for the Miramar Police Department, among other initiatives to enhance the city, such as a tree trimming program and an art in public places fund which produce the Usain Bolt statue at the Ansin Sports Complex. She proposed and secured federal funding to add a Police Social Worker, making Miramar the first Police Department in the state of Florida to do so, providing an additional and much-needed tool for Community Policing. She was able to implement the Safe House initiative at Miramar fire stations to assist domestic violence and human trafficked victims.

As a certified teacher, she was compelled to form a non-profit 501(c)(3) in 2015 called the Caribbean American Teachers Association of Florida (CATAF), whose motto is “Inspiring Students and Empowering Teachers,” and she remains committed to her community.

In honor of her profound impacts on the Miramar community, Wayne M. Messam, Mayor of the City of Miramar, officially proclaimed October 16, 2024 as Alexandra P. Davis Day in a Proclamation at a Miramar Commission meeting.

On November 19, 2024, Alexandra P. Davis was sworn in as a Commissioner for Broward County, District 7, marking a significant accomplishment in her career.

The election marked a historic moment for the Broward County Commission, as it embodies the rich diversity of the community. Now with African-Americans comprising one-third of the Commission’s nine members, including two Jamaican-American women, this marks a significant step forward toward equitable representation in the County.

Since coming to the County, she has pushed for affordable housing to include monies for homeownership projects, championed small business access in various county projects as well as exposed job opportunities at our port. Always looking out for the social needs of her constituents she spearheaded food & tree giveaways as well as back to school giveaways.

Davis has spent years elevating the Caribbean-American community across Broward County. In recognition of her continued leadership and impact on the region's Caribbean diaspora, Pembroke Pines Mayor Angelo Castillo proclaimed June 27, 2026, as Alexandra P. Davis Day at their Caribbean American Heritage Festival.

As Davis continues to serve, she endeavors to continue to champion the essential inclusion of diverse voices in decision-making processes, ensuring that all communities are well-represented in the political arena.

In 2024, Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis was honored with the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the Biden Administration. This prestigious award recognizes her lifelong dedication to volunteer service and her unwavering commitment to strengthening communities across the nation.

In August 2025, the City of Miramar dedicated one of its most prominent community landmarks in her honor, renaming its Multi-Service Complex as the Alexandra P. Davis Multi-Service Complex. Located at 6700 Miramar Parkway, the 38,000-square-foot facility has served as a hub for community programs and resources since 2009, and its renaming stands as a lasting tribute to her decades of public service and enduring impact on the Miramar community.

Commissioner Davis has received numerous accolades and awards. She has been named one of South Florida’s 100 Most Accomplished Caribbean Americans by ICABA, one of the 50 Most Powerful and Influential Business Leaders in South Florida by Legacy Magazine, the Jamaica Consul General’s Jamaica 50 Luminous Award, one of South Florida’s Top Educators by Legacy Magazine, the Pinnacle Coceano Community Leadership Award by the Miramar/Pembroke Pines Chamber of Commerce, the Africa Diaspora Women of Distinction Award and the 2026 South Florida Public Official of the Year by Legacy Magazine, just to name a few.

She continues to be a trailblazer in our community, staying true to her motto: “Putting You First, Keeps Us First!”
