Thirteen candidates are vying for positions in the Fort Walton Beach City Council, and the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce prepared an online questionnaire for each of the candidates to help the public better understand who they are and what their views are. 

The questionnaire aims to provide insight into each candidate’s views on a wide range of issues, including economic development, infrastructure, city budget, and upcoming major projects. The candidates were also asked about their qualifications, experience, and vision for the city.

With the election just a few weeks away, voters will have the opportunity to choose the candidates they believe are best suited to lead the city into the future.
