Terry Coney is elected to the City Commission and will take office at the first commission meeting in January 2026. As the only candidate for the District B Northeast seat, Coney’s seat has been decided by acclamation.
“I’m honored. I was surprised that it turned out this way, but maybe that was divine intervention,” Coney said. “I’m excited and I’m ready to take on the challenge.”
