The city’s 2024 election season already has begun.

Three candidates are seeking to replace Deputy Mayor Monica Mayotte, who is term-limited from running again in next year’s municipal election.

Andy Thomson, who resigned from the City Council on Nov. 7 to make an ultimately unsuccessful run for the Florida House District 91 seat, has filed to run.

Also filing for Mayotte’s Seat D is Brian Stenberg, who was defeated by Mayotte in the 2021 election.

Perennial candidate Bernard Korn, who has never won office, has also thrown his hat in the ring again.

Thomson, after losing his race for state representative against Peggy Gossett-Seidman last year, said he would seek elected office again but did not know then which one. He was forced by the state’s resign-to-run law to give up his council seat.

Stenberg has remained in the public eye since losing his race. He was appointed to the Boca Raton Housing Authority board and, most recently, campaigned against a city charter change that would have increased City Council members’ terms of office from three years to four.

That change, proposed by Mayor Scott Singer, was soundly defeated by voters in the March 14 city election.

As of April 30, Thomson had raised $22,500 in campaign contributions.

Stenberg had loaned his campaign $500.

Korn, who filed paperwork for both Seat D and council member Yvette Drucker’s Seat C, reported receiving no contributions. He gave as his address the downtown post office at 170 NE Second St.
