Coral Gables residents have re-elected Mayor Vince Lago to a third consecutive two-year term after he secured more than 55% of the vote. Lago successfully defeated two challengers, including Commissioner Kirk Menendez. This victory solidifies Lago’s influence over the city’s leadership as he continues to serve as mayor.
Lago’s Hopes for Commission Majority
With this win, Lago hopes to regain a crucial three-person majority on the city’s fractured commission. His re-election brings a sense of continuity, but Lago’s ambitions extend beyond the mayor’s office, as he seeks a more unified commission to push his agenda forward.
Vice Mayor Rhonda Anderson Re-Elected
A key ally of Lago, Vice Mayor Rhonda Anderson was also re-elected to the Group 2 seat. Her victory helps solidify Lago’s influence on the commission, providing a significant boost to his political position.
Richard Lara Heads to Runoff
Another of Lago’s allies, Richard Lara, ran for the Group 3 seat but failed to secure a majority. As a result, Lara’s race will proceed to a runoff election, where he will have another chance to claim the seat and further strengthen Lago’s position on the commission.
