In Broward County, Florida, the site of February's massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school, Lori Alhadeff, whose 14-year-old daughter Alyssa Alhadeff was among the victims, won a seat on the county’s school board in a landslide Tuesday night.

"I am so excited. I am elated," Alhadeff told the Miami Herald. "I can’t wait to start making change and start making an impact on the school board."

Alhadeff captured 65 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results from Broward County's supervisor of elections, significantly outpacing two other contenders in the race. The second-place finisher, Tennille Doe-Decoste, received just 18 percent of the vote.
