The City of Coral Gables decided to keep the status quo during the 2007 city elections on Tuesday.
Mayor Don Slesnick and City Commissioners Wayne “Chip” Withers and William H. Kerdyk Jr. all won their re-election. This was the first election, after serving three terms, Slesnick faced opposition.
Slesnick will be serving his first four-year term, as opposed to a two-year one, after voters changed the term length in 2005.
University of Miami’s Get Out The Vote group set up outside of the BankUnited Center, where 126 people came out to vote for mayor and 122 voted for city commission. Not all were necessarily UM students.
