Voters in Gulf Stream can take part in the town’s first contested election since 2017 next month.
The Town Commission’s five incumbents are on the March 10 ballot as well as a political newcomer. The top five vote-getters will win seats.
The incumbents — Scott Morgan, Thomas Stanley, Robert Canfield, Michael Greene and Joan Orthwein — appear together in a paid ad in The Coastal Star touting “results that matter.”
Also on the ballot is newcomer Michael Glennon, who has taken an active role as a resident in commission discussions the past three years and now sits on the appointed Architectural Review and Planning Board. The incumbents all sat on the ARPB as well.
This will be the first appearance on a ballot for Canfield and Greene. Canfield, who has lived in Place Au Soleil for 10 years, was appointed to the Town Commission in January 2024.
Greene, who lives on the west side of North Ocean Boulevard, similarly was appointed to the commission in February 2024.
Commissioners will choose a mayor and vice mayor from among themselves after the election.
