Miami-Dade County Commissioner Raquel Regalado easily defeated challenger Cindy Lerner on Tuesday to win a second four-year term as the county’s District 7 commissioner. Regalado captured 57% of the vote in the nonpartisan race. Regalado was forced to compete a second time this year against the former mayor of Pinecrest after failing to top 50% in the August primary election. This year’s District 7 race was a rematch of the 2020 election, when Regalado defeated Lerner by a slimmer margin.
