Consultant Ivette Arango O'Doski and construction executive Melissa Castro are headed to a runoff for the Group 4 seat on the Coral Gables City Commission. With 24 of 25 precincts reporting at 7:36 p.m. Tuesday, O'Doski had 47% of the vote while Castro had 39%. The city's election rules require a candidate must receive more than half the vote to win outright. They'll now compete in an April 25 runoff. For two other candidates, businessman Jackson 'Rip' Holmes and mortgage broker Sean Patrick McGrover , who each received 7% of the vote, it's the end of the road this year.
