Daniel Henkel will serve a second term as mayor, while Douglas Tolbert and Heath Rominger will take seats on the City Council for Group 2 and Group 4, respectively. All three will serve four-year terms.

Mr Tolbert succeeds Sal Nodjomian in Group 2, and Mr Rominger follows Carl Donahoo in Group 4.

According to the Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Office, because no challengers filed to run during the qualifying period, these positions were deemed filled without the need for a vote in the March 11, 2025, election.

Henkel, who has held the position of mayor since 2021, will continue to lead the city alongside Tolbert, Rominger, Bill Schaetzle, Doug Stauffer, and Cathy Alley.

The Supervisor of Elections reminds residents that the next municipal election will be held in March 2027.
