MIAMI (WSVN) - Joe Carollo, who was the mayor of Miami during the 1990s, is back in public office after winning a run-off election for city commissioner.

Carollo, who has not held public office in 16 years, came out on top against his opponent, attorney Alfonso Leon, with a little more than 52 percent.

Carollo is taking the District 3 seat held by his brother, Frank Carollo, who could not run again due to term limits.
