Coral Gables election results: one new Commissioner, one race left to decide

Coral Gables voters still have one more ballot to cast this year before the city’s biennial election is over.

Fifty-eight percent chose consultant and local media mogul Ariel Fernandez over lawyer Alex Bucelo to serve in the City Commission’s Group 5 seat.

But a race for Group 4 is still undecided. Voters will decide who will win a runoff Tuesday between consultant Ivette Arango O’Doski and construction executive Melissa Castro, who took 47% and 39% of the vote, respectively, in a four-way race.

City election rules require a candidate to secure more than half the votes cast to win outright.
