City-by-city election results for all 17 Palm Beach County municipalities

With all in-person ballots and almost all mail votes counted, here's the results of municipal elections across Palm Beach County:

Atlantis: Michael LaCoursiere wins

City council member Michael LaCoursiere defeated Paul Mozen, an internist.

LaCoursiere is senior vice president of a civil engineering firm. Mozen is an internist who ran unsuccessfully for the city council in 2018. Both candidates had raised $200 as of Nov. 30.

Guy Motzer was unopposed for the Group 2 race and was automatically re-elected to the city council.

The race attracted 381 of the city's 1,850 eligible voters.

Belle Glade: Steve Wilson, Zayteck Marin win

Two city commission candidates aligned with big sugar companies, which oppose efforts to stop sugarcane burning pollution, defeated their challengers.

A former executive secretary for the city manager, Zayteck Marin defeated U.S. Army veteran Stanley D. Highsmith.

Mayor Steve B. Wilson won 76% of the vote against Robert C. Mitchell, founder of the Muck City United nonprofit. Mitchell has run unsuccessfully for commission in 2021 and 2018.

Wilson has advocated for state law protecting the Glades' big sugar farming companies from lawsuits over sugarcane burning pollution.

Marin and her husband, Randy Marin-Mora, have repeated sugar companies' argument that those who want to switch from burning to cleaner mechanical sugarcane harvesting will kill jobs.

"They are against the sugar industries," Marin-Mora wrote March 6 on Facebook in Spanish. "If the sugar mills close, we'll be out of work."

Anti-burn advocates have said they don't want sugar mills to shut down, just to switch to cleaner harvesting as places such as Brazil or Louisiana have done.

More than 1,300 of the city's 7,105 registered voters cast ballots in these races.

Voters approved a measure, described by Village Clerk Lori McWilliams, as "a housekeeping item to clean up grammatical text inconsistencies throughout the Charter, and to make non-substantive and other grammatical edits, such as adding a map to depict the Village’s legal description, adding footnote citations to relevant state law, referencing 21st century technology like electronic documents (versus paper documents), relocating existing text within the Charter to remove the current ‘miscellaneous’ section, acknowledging the existence and applicability of state and county ethics laws, and other miscellaneous clarifying language that does not alter the substance of the Charter.”
