Three seats on the Bar Board of Governors will be contested in the upcoming March elections, while 18 incumbents were reelected unopposed and three newcomers were elected to the board without opposition following the close of qualifying.

A contested regular election cycle board race is set for Seat 2 in the 13th Circuit. Benjamin Hill IV; Diane Marger Moore; and Michael J. Trentalange have filed to replace retiring board member Amy S. Farrior.

Two contested races have emerged in special elections for vacant seats on the Board of Governors. In the Fourth Circuit, two lawyers have filed to replace Michael Fox Orr, who resigned after being named the Bar’s president-elect designate. The candidates are Fraz Ahmed and Geddes D. Anderson, Jr., both of Jacksonville. In the 17th Circuit, Sherea L. Randle will face Kyle S. Roberts to replace board member Hilary Creary, who stepped down after being appointed general magistrate for the 17th Circuit Domestic Relations Division. Both Randle and Roberts are from Ft. Lauderdale.
