Tuesday’s Municipal Elections in Okaloosa County resulted in a new charter amendment for Destin and one new face to the Fort Walton Beach City Council.
Twelve candidates ran for the three open seats on the Fort Walton Beach City Council, including two incumbents. Despite a lot of grassroots efforts from newcomers, only one made it on the council. Incumbents David Schmidt and Nic Allegretto will return to the council. Auto dealer Travis Smith will be the newcomer on the council. A total of 8,018 ballots were cast in Fort Walton Beach.
Results are still unofficial with all precincts reported and vote-by-mail ballots partially reported.
