SUMMARY: The Atlantic Beach Municipal Election Commission addressed ongoing issues from the November 2023 election. Carla Taylor won a Town Council seat, but Shan Swinson protested the results. After a court ruling, Taylor was seated, but the town’s interim attorney, Dwayne Green, appealed the decision. Today, the commission voted to withdraw the appeal, solidifying Taylor’s position. The town council also fired Green. Additionally, Judge William Seals called for a new mayoral election between John David and Josephine, which could take place in February. The commission aims to move forward from these challenges.
