Flagler Beach has elected R.J. Santore and incumbent Scott Spradley to serve on its City Commission.
Incumbent Commissioner Rick Belhumeur lost to his competition with just 21% of the vote, while Spradley took 37% and Santore led the way with 41% of the vote, according to the Flagler Supervisor of Elections website. Flagler Beach has 4,647 registered voters.
Spradley and Belhumeur were initially elected in 2023, replacing Commissioners Ken Bryan and Deborah Phillips. This reelection makes Spradley’s second term to the board.
