Scott Singer won a final three-year term as mayor when no candidates filed to run against him by the city’s Nov. 9 candidate qualifying deadline.
“I’m truly grateful for the support of so many and excited to continue the hard work to keep Boca Raton moving forward,” Singer said to voters in an email and on social media after the deadline passed.
Also winning office with no opposition was Fran Nachlas, a retired surgical nurse who will fill the council seat held by Andy Thomson, who resigned as of Nov. 7 to pursue an ultimately unsuccessful candidacy for the Florida House District 91 seat.
Council members praised Thomson during his final city meeting, crediting his ability to find solutions and his commonsense approach.
“It has been an honor and pleasure to be on the dais with you,” said council member Monica Mayotte. “I really appreciated your thoughts and perspective.”
With those two elections concluded, voters going to the polls for the nonpartisan March 14 municipal election will cast ballots only to replace Deputy Mayor Andrea O’Rourke, who is term limited.
The candidates for Seat B are Marc Wigder, founder of Greenhouse Property Co. and co-founder of GreenSmith Builders, and Christen Ritchey, a partner at the Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas law firm where she specializes in family law matters.
