3 weeks ago Share Residents in Ocoee, Windermere and Winter Garden elected a mix of new and returning candidates to help lead their respective municipalities.
It was a big day for local politics in West Orange County, as voters from three municipalities Ocoee, Windermere and Winter Garden went to the polls to elect their leaders March 9.
Winter Garden voters selected members for districts 2, 3 and 4, while Ocoee had openings for City Commission District 2 and District 4 seats. In Windermere, three Town Council seats were available. Between the three municipalities, there was a total of 16 candidates seeking election.
WINTER GARDEN CITY COMMISSION
In Winter Garden, six candidates campaigned for three open seats on the City Commission districts 2, 3 and 4.
Winter Park residents chose a new mayor. Winter Garden voters picked three candidates to fill city commission seats, Ocoee selected two city commissioners and Windermere filled three town council seats.
Incumbent Ocoee Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen is facing a challenge from Knox Anderson in District 2. We think Wilsen has been a competent public servant who deserves another term in office.
