Three incumbent Broward County commissioners will retain their seats on the county commission after the November general election.
Commissioners Steve Geller, Hazelle Rogers, and Michael Udine are returning for new terms. Alongside them, Alexandra Davis, currently the vice mayor of Miramar, will be stepping into a county seat unopposed, marking her debut on the County Commission.
The candidate qualifying period concluded on Friday, and the final results were updated on the Supervisor of Elections website by Saturday.
This will mark the first time that the Broward County Commission will have two Jamaican-Americans occupying seats: Hazelle Rogers and Alexandra Davis.

In Miramar, Davis has a long history of public service, having served as a commissioner since 2010, with a brief hiatus from November 2014 to March 2019 due to a previous run for the County Commission. She will now represent the county’s District 7, which includes parts of Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and tribal land. This seat is currently held by Commissioner Tim Ryan, who is stepping down due to term limits. Commissioners can serve a maximum of three four-year terms.
One district still undecided
Still to be decided in November will be a race for Broward County Commission’s District 1, which serves Weston and parts of Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Southwest Ranches. The incumbent is Mayor Nan Rich, who has a single challenger, Herbert Vargas.
Broward County commissioners oversee county services such as libraries, regional parks, tax collection, property assessments, buses, Port Everglades, the medical examiner’s office, and the airport. They also set the county budget, which determines tax rates for property owners.
Udine represents District 3, which serves parts of Coral Springs, North Lauderdale, Parkland, Sunrise and Tamarac.
Rogers represents District 9, which includes parts of Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Plantation and Sunrise.
Geller represents District 5, which includes the entirety of Davie, Cooper City, and portions of unincorporated areas, Plantation, Southwest Ranches, Sunrise, and tribal land north of Stirling Road, including the Guitar Hotel and Hard Rock.
For the other commissioners in Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8, their terms will end in 2026.
