The state Elections Canvassing Commission on Tuesday certified Republican Mike Redondo’s win in a Dec. 5 special election in Miami-Dade County’s House District 118.
The commission, made up of Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and state Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, certified the results during a brief phone meeting.
Redondo received 51.8 percent of the vote as he defeated Democrat Johnny Farias and unaffiliated candidate Frank De La Paz.
The special election was held because former Republican Rep. Juan Alfonso Fernandez-Barquin was appointed this summer as Miami-Dade County clerk of the court and comptroller.
