In a significant shift in local government, Surfside voters have elected Charles Burkett as their new mayor, unseating the incumbent Shlomo Danzinger, with almost all VBM ballots counted. Burkett, who previously held the position before being defeated by Danzinger two years ago, has reclaimed his seat in a clear victory. The election also saw incumbents Jeff Rose and Fred Landsman being unseated, where the top 4 commission vote-getters win, indicating a broader desire for change among the electorate. This transformation in Surfside's local government has been characterized by some as a rejection of the previous administration's corruption, with voters opting for a return to the 'old guard.'
