MIAMI - A Havana-born commissioner and former television reporter has won the Miami mayor's race.
With all of the precincts reporting, unofficial results showed Tomas Regalado had 72 percent and Joe Sanchez's had 28 percent of the vote.
Regalado, 62, was first elected as a city commissioner in 1996.
He replaces outgoing Mayor Manny Diaz, who is barred from seeking a third term.
In St. Petersburg, lawyer Bill Foster defeated Kathleen Ford to become the next mayor.
