The election results have been certified - and now its official: 24-Year-Old Mark Merwitzer Becomes Youngest Vice Mayor In Palmetto Bay’s History

A new generation is stepping up to lead.  These are exciting times for Palmetto Bay. 

The election was certified last Friday so the results are now official. 

Mark's hard work and perseverance paid off in the face of vicious rumors and baseless attacks. He ran an outstanding positive campaign based upon his qualifications and vision for our community.

As reported in the Palmetto Bay News: Mark’s campaign was considered a long shot. He faced an incumbent vice mayor supported by influential figures like the county mayor, local school board member, village mayor, and current and former Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest councilmembers, to name a few. Despite these odds and running against an opponent funded by political action committees, his grassroots campaign resonated with voters eager for change.

Perhaps his biggest challenge will be working with Council Member Dr. Marsha Matson to restore civility, accountability and transparency to Palmetto Bay.
