The mayor of South Miami is getting another term in office despite accusations of sexual misconduct.
Philip Stoddard took 57 percent of the vote in winning re-election Tuesday over former Mayor Horace Feliu.
Feliu, an adjunct algebra and biology professor at Fortis College and the president of SterilQuip, a biomedical engineering company, came within 200 votes of unseating Stoddard in 2016. This time Stoddard widened his margin albeit slightly.
Stoddard overcame a robocall campaign late last week in which former South Miami Commissioner Valerie Newman claimed that the mayor gave her an unwanted kiss at her home seven or eight years ago and called for his resignation.
Stoddard described the accusation as "absurd."
South Miami voters also elected two city commissioners Tuesday.
Luis Gil, an IT project manager at Baptist Health South Florida, will represent group one while incumbent Walter Harris was re-elected to the group four seat.
