Two weeks ago on Mondays With The Mayor when we asked Mayor Dan Allers if he’d be running for reelection next year he did not commit. Last night he did. Why does he want your vote in 2024? Watch his response HERE.
Allers, Vice Mayor Jim Atterholt and Councilman Bill Veach are all coming to the end of their first term in 2024. Veach has not committed to running and, while he hasn’t announced anything official, the expectation is that Atterholt will run again. There have been no other official announcements from any candidates to run for council as of yet.
Council terms are 4 years and the only requirement to run is that you’re a Fort Myers Beach resident (owner or renter) for one year. The Fort Myers Beach Town Council is a nonpartisan race. There are no districts or voting areas on the beach, when elections are held the top vote getters out of whoever runs are elected. The Mayor’s seat is not an elected position. The Mayor is appointed by the 5 sitting council members at the time and that seat comes up for a vote every year.
