New City Council Voted In

Marco City Council will see four new faces this next term. Steven Gray, Deb Henry, Bonita Schwan, and Tamara Goehler will be seated at the next Council meeting on November 18th. Gray had the largest number of votes at 6,163, followed by Henry with 5,963, Schwan with 5,945, and Goehler with 5,707.  

In the two Collier County Commissioner races, District One Commissioner Rick LoCastro retained his seat against write-in candidate Michaela Kendall, and District Three Commissioner Burt Saunders retained his seat against Richard Conover. 

Yvette Benarroch won the state District 81 seat, an area that includes Marco Island, Goodland, and Isles of Capri, and is bordered on the east by Collier Boulevard/County Road 951. 

Of the four most talked about amendments on the ballot, only Amendment 2, “Right to Fish and Hunt,” passed. Amendment 1, “Partisan Election of Members of District School Boards,” Amendment 3, “Adult Personal Use of Marijuana,” and Amendment 4, “Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion,” did not reach the 60% threshold and so failed to pass.
