Three candidates will appear on the ballot in the Loxahatchee Groves Town Council election set for Tuesday, March 11.
When filing closed in November, five candidates had completed the necessary paperwork to qualify for the ballot in the race for Seat 4 on the council. However, two of those candidates have since dropped out of the race — former Councilman Todd McLendon, who withdrew from the race on Jan. 2, and equestrian Paulo Santana, who withdrew from the race on Jan. 8.
According to Loxahatchee Groves Town Clerk Valerie Oakes, McLendon and Santana withdrew in time to have their names removed from the ballot. The three candidates still in the running for Seat 4 are Paul T. Coleman II, Steven Hoffman and Brian William Zdunowski.
The winner of the election will replace Councilman Robert Shorr, who is not seeking re-election.
Also joining the council after the March 11 vote will be former Councilwoman Lisa El-Ramey, who was unopposed for Seat 2. El-Ramey will replace Councilwoman Laura Danowski, who is also not seeking re-election.
Coleman ran against Shorr for Seat 4 in 2022, losing by just a handful of votes. He has lived in Loxahatchee Groves for nearly his entire life, moving to the community in 1976 as a child.
Hoffman is a quail farmer. He is a member of the Community Emergency Response Team, the Loxahatchee Groves Landowners’ Association and Palms West Presbyterian Church.
Zdunowski has a degree in network engineering and has lived in Loxahatchee Groves since 2013. He works as a senior product line manager for a software company specializing in medical software mostly for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
