David Arreola and Harvey Ward were re-elected to second terms on the Gainesville City Commission Tuesday night while political newcomer Reina Saco prevailed outright in a four-candidate race.

Ward topped David Walle by about 68% to 32% in District 2.

Arreola defeated Jennifer Reid by about 59% to 41% for the District 3 seat.

In the citywide District 2 at-large race Saco had nearly 51% against former Commissioner Scherwin Henry, Gabe Kaimowitz and Paul Rhodenizer.

Alachua County voted heavily for former Vice President Joe Biden, who topped Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary with about 51% to Sanders’ 40%. A few candidates who have dropped out also got votes. President Donald Trump easily won his race with more than 90 percent of the Republican voters.

The results are not official.

Ward and Arreola said they were humbled that voters thought enough of their work to give them a second term.

Both also said that the coronavirus will be an immediate priority.

"I think I’ve done good work for the people of Gainesville for almost three years now. My campaign reached thousands of district voters with a positive message," Ward said.

Once the coronavirus response is stabilized, Ward said he will focus on "working on parks and water and ethics."

Arreola said voters are familiar with the work he did in his first term but added his campaign was focused on what he wants to accomplish in his next term.

"The first priority is to see to the health and safety of every person in this community with this global pandemic," Arreola said. "We are in for some really tough weeks ahead and we are going to be tried in ways many of us have never been tried before. I just want everyone to know how humbled I am that I have been asked to help lead this city. I want people to know they are not in this alone."

Saco credited an array of diverse groups that supported her for the win.

"I’m excited and I can’t wait to get to work," Saco said. "I think it’s amazing that so many different groups that I worked with in the past were the ones that got me here." Henry pulled about 31% of the vote, Rhodenizer about 12%, and Kaimowitz about 5%.
