Gallon was unopposed and qualifying for the seats ended Tuesday at noon. He and four other candidates were officially elected or reelected.
Miami-Dade County School Board member Steve Gallon III resigned from the seat Tuesday as he prepares to serve as a county commissioner starting next year.
He won the District 1 county commission seat after no other candidates filed to run before Tuesday's noon deadline to qualify. Miami Gardens Councilwoman Linda Julien dropped out of the race less than a week after declaring she was running for the county commission seat.
