Sanibel voters have the opportunity to choose three new members of City Council from six candidates running in the March 2 election.
Two of the seats were vacated by Jason Maughan and Kevin Ruane, both who resigned to run for higher office. Mayor Mick Denham’s term expires and he is not seeking reelection after 16 years of service. This election gives citizens a line up of fresh, qualified candidates. While he is not an incumbent, Maughan is seeking a return to council.
The Lee County Board of Elections has started sending mail-in ballots. In the November General Election, 70 percent of the voting on Sanibel was by mail, with 8.2 percent voting early, and only 21.8 percent voting on election day.
