KEYSTONE HEIGHTS— Tony Brown won another three years on the Keystone Heights City Council and political newcomer Chris Thompson will join the five-member board beginning in May.
Both residents won their seats by being the only candidates to qualify for them.
Brown, a longtime council member and former mayor, took a year off from politics four years ago to focus on his business.
After a recent city council meeting, Brown pointed to improvements to Keystone Beach Park and the city’s ongoing street scape project for South Lawrence Boulevard as major accomplishments during his current term. He added that more work lies ahead for the two enterprises, and he wants to remain on the council to see them to fruition.
Thompson will be replacing Council Member Marion Kelly who chose not to seek a fourth term after serving nine years on the council.
On a social media page, Thompson calls herself a “proud lifelong conservative who supports the values that have long been held dear in our community.”
She also said she is a passionate supporter of Keystone Heights lakes and is committed to seeing the benefits of the Black Creek Water Resource Development Project realized by residents and future generations.
