2014
The August 26, 2014, general election in Broward County featured six seats up for election. District 1 incumbent Ann Murray defeated challenger Felicia Mychele Brunson. The District 3 race included incumbent Heather Pomper Brinkworth and challengers Sam Budyszewick and Nicholas A. "Nick" Sakhnovsky. Brinkworth retained the seat. Abby Merle Freedman won re-election to the District 4 seat against Robert Alan Mayersohn. District 6 incumbent Laurie Rich Levinson defeated challenger Lisa Lafferty Spince, while fellow board member Nora Rupert ran and won in District 7 against Hubert St. Clair. Donna Pilger Korn won re-election to the District 8 seat without opposition.
The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. If no candidate had received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in a particular district, the top two vote recipients would have advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014. However, none of the races necessitated a runoff.
Funding
Korn reported no contributions or expenditures to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, as of July 25, 2014.[4]
