South Palm Beach Mayor Bonnie Fischer will serve another term after no one filed to challenge her in the March 8 election.
But council members Bill LeRoy and Mark Weissman will face challengers after two candidates filed papers by the Nov. 23 deadline: Monte Berendes and Cindy Furino.
The top two vote-getters on March 8 will win council seats. They will be sworn into office with Fischer on March 15 to serve four-year terms, reflecting an amendment approved by voters in 2020 to increase the terms of mayor and council members from two to four years.
“I am very happy and humbled to serve another term as mayor. I have a lot more work to accomplish,’’ Fischer said.
