Briny Breezes Town Council members Liz Loper and Bill Birch will start new two-year terms in March with a new face joining them on the dais: David Duncan White.
All three filed to run in the March election but drew no opponents during the November qualifying period, ushering them into office without a single ballot being cast.
White, 66 and a newcomer to town politics, bought his home on Lark Drive in February 2023. He will fill Seat 1, which is being vacated by Keith Black after a partial, 13-month term.
Loper, 73, who currently serves as council president, was first appointed to Seat 3 in January 2022 after Alderman Allen “Chick” Behringer died. She kept the seat when no one filed to run against her the following year.
Birch, 70, the Seat 5 alderman, has been on the council since March 2018.
