Elections
2017
The city of Hialeah, Florida, held a primary election for mayor and the Group V and Group VII seats on the city council on November 7, 2017. A general election was scheduled for November 21, 2017, but was not necessary because the top vote-getter won a majority of the vote in each primary. The filing deadline for candidates who wished to run in this election was July 31, 2017.
The Group VI seat on the city council was also up for re-election in 2017, but incumbent Paul Hernandez won re-election automatically when no other candidates filed to run against him. Incumbents also filed for re-election in the mayoral race and one of the other city council races. The incumbent in the final city council race, Group V Councilman Luis Gonzalez, was not eligible to run for re-election in 2017 due to term limits.[3][4] Incumbent Carlos Hernandez defeated Tania Garcia and Juan Santana in the primary election for mayor of Hialeah.[3]
