Gulf Breeze council seats filled

Four open Gulf Breeze City Council seats will be filled without an election.

Mayor Beverly Zimmern and councilmen Dick Fulford, Dana Morris and J.D. Schluter all qualified for the Nov. 2 city election, but only Fulford had a qualified challenger, David Landfair. Fulford withdrew from the race on Thursday in a short letter to City Clerk Marita Rhodes.

“I have decided to withdraw from the Gulf Breeze City Council elections for Seat D,” he wrote. “It has been a pleasure to serve this outstanding community for the past three years and prior years of 1977 to 1980.”
