Mayor Vince Lago got more than 55% of the vote to win a third two-year term. He fended off challenges from two candidates, including Commissioner Kirk Menendez.

Lago has a vote on the fractured city commission. He's hoping this election will help him regain a three-person majority on the commission.

Another ally – Richard Lara – is running for the group three seat. Lara fell short of a majority, so his race is headed to a runoff.
