Turnover guaranteed in Juno Beach town election

With Juno Beach in turmoil over how much development is too much, six candidates with sharply different backgrounds and views are vying for the chance to mold the wealthy oceanfront town and unite warring factions.

At least two new faces are guaranteed to join the Town Council as Mayor Peggy Wheeler, who has served on it for nearly a decade, and appointed Council Member John Callaghan chose not to run.

Incumbent Marianne Hosta faces a challenge for Seat 1 from political newcomer Scott Shaw. He is suing the town, claiming it ignored its so-called harmony code that was designed to protect neighborhoods.

While Wheeler’s name is not on the ballot, her influence and policies will be.
