PORT ORANGE While many people are still recovering from the vitriolic 2020 election season, two local elected officials have already made decisions about 2022 races.
Port Orange City Councilman Chase Tramont is running for the Volusia County Council District 2 seat that will be up for re-election next year. And Billie Wheeler, who has held that post since she took it over in January 2017, has decided not to seek re-election in 2022.
Both Tramont and Wheeler went public with their decisions Friday afternoon on separate local radio talk shows. In interviews with The News-Journal earlier this week, both said they re happy with their decisions.
