Voters chose two new candidates on Tuesday to join the Broward School Board, reelected two sitting members and left the status of one seat unresolved.

School Board members Maura Bulman and Allen Zeman won their races on Tuesday night.

Two north-county seats were guaranteed new representation after School Board members Nora Rupert and Lori Alhadeff chose not to seek reelection.

District volunteer Nicole Morst defeated college professor Sharry Kimmel in a heated District 4 race to replace Alhadeff, who had supported Kimmel. Morst had the support of board members Debbi Hixon, Nora Rupert, Jeff Holness and Sarah Leonardi.

“I am excited. I am humbled. I am grateful, and I feel overwhelmed with the support from my community,” Morst told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. “They came out strong for me, and I’m most humbled for it.”

In the District 7 race in northeast Broward, Rupert’s endorsed candidate, speech pathologist Shelly Soffer, lost to nurse and district volunteer Cynthia Dominique.

“I am just incredibly humbled at this opportunity to serve our community,” Dominque said. “I couldn’t be more proud of myself, my team, all the volunteers who came out to support me and gave up their time to work the polls.”

She said her husband and children also worked tirelessly at the polls.

Both candidates in District 7 filed to run less than 24 hours before the qualifying deadline. Rupert waited until the last minute to drop out of the race.

“I just had to hit the ground running, but I went to every single event in the community,” Dominique said. “I was at every single polling site. It was important for me to show up.”

It’s still unknown whether Adam Cervera, whom Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the west-central District 6 seat, will remain on the board after November: He faced four challengers, and since no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the nonpartisan race, the top two vote-getters will face off in a runoff on Nov. 3.

Cervera and Roberto Fernandez III will advance to the runoff. Candidates Jessie Bastos, Makai Aline Henry and Lester Wilks Jr. were eliminated.

“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who came out and supported me,” Cervera said. “Earning nearly 40% of the vote in a five-person race is an incredible show of support, and I’m truly thankful to everyone who placed their trust in me.

“Tonight, I’m grateful for how far we’ve come, energized by the support we received, and ready to keep working hard and building on this momentum,” he said. “Thank you, Broward. We’re just getting started. On to November!”

Fernandez promised to make it a tough fight for Cervera.

“I’m really thankful to all the voters and all the volunteers who helped me get to this point, and I’m looking forward to running in the next phase of this campaign into November and winning the seat in November,” Fernandez told the Sun Sentinel.

The other incumbents easily defeated their challengers.

Bulman won against Carmen Gimenez, 64, a Venezuelan American who has previously run for Hallandale Beach mayor and Florida governor, in the District 1 seat, which includes Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, West Park and parts of Miramar and Pembroke Pines.

Zeman defeated Sonja Azim, a safety and security trainer for the school district, to keep his at-large countywide seat.

Zeman told the Sun Sentinel on Tuesday night it was a good race.

“I think it’s good for incumbents to go through a competitive election,” Zeman said. “I think standing in front of the voters is a clarifying experience and Sonja ran a very good campaign, and I appreciate her bringing her issues to the table.”

Zeman said he expects the School Board “will work to make the Broward School District the best school district in the United States.”
