Roy G. Smith who challenged incumbent Pat K. Gass for a seat on the Fernandina Beach City Commission won the election by a wide margin. Voter turnout decreased over the general election (20%) with 18.14% of the registered voters casting a ballot.

The hard fought race pitted a long time city resident against a retired executive who came to Fernandina Beach from Hollywood, Florida two and a half  years ago. Smith will be sworn in December 15.
