SAFETY HARBOR â Thereâs an old baseball saying, âYou canât tell the players without a scorecard,â and that adage could easily apply to the 2021 Safety Harbor City Commission races.
Seven candidates, including two incumbents (Seat 1âs Nancy Besore and Seat 2âs Cliff Merz), two former commissioners (Seat 3 opponents Scott Long and two-term mayor Andy Steingold), and a trio of political newcomers (Seat 1 opponents Heather Norton and Lorraine Duffy Suarez, and Seat 2 candidate Liz Lindsay), are vying for three open seats on March 9. Five of the seven agreed to participate in a virtual candidate forum hosted by the Safety Harbor Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 27. Besore and Lindsay declined.
