Tuesday night's municipal elections brought a mix of continuity and change to South Florida, with a close mayoral race in Miami Beach and an upset in a Homestead council race. In the Florida Keys, two incumbents got re-elected to the city council in Marathon.
Miami Beach: Meiner narrowly re-elected mayor
In a tightly contested race, incumbent Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner was re-elected, defeating Miami Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez.
Meiner secured a narrow victory with approximately 51% of the vote against Rosen Gonzalez's 49%, according to the latest results. Less than 15,000 voters — 33% of registered voters — went to the polls.
The victory grants Meiner a second two-year term. He campaigned on public safety and managing nightlife regulations in the South Beach.
