Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer has won a third full term as mayor. Dyer received 58 percent of the vote April 3 against three challengers, and thus avoided a run-off.

Dyer said his priorities for the new term include, “Making sure we complete SunRail, the performing Arts Center, making sure we find a way to finance the Citrus Bowl, making sure we keep crime low, making sure we keep the city the most financially stable city in the whole state of Florida,” according to press reports.

Dyer first became mayor in 2003 in a special election. He won re-election in 2004, 2008 and now 2012.
