This means the top two candidates, Wayne Posner and Karen Golonka, are heading to a runoff in two weeks.
Posner and Golonka will square for that one year term in the first district.
The mayoral race saw a clear winner. Todd Wodraska will be Jupiter's first new mayor in 25 years. He's served as on the town council since 2004.
The impact of growth and development is definitely something voters were talking about this election cycle. Wodraska said he'll work to bring balance to Jupiter.
“Jupiter has a very well-earned reputation, tough on development, but we're not willing to say no. What we are willing to say is, ‘Hey if you're going to bring a project into our community, how is that protect going to enhance our quality of life?’” said Wodraska
Only one incumbent won on Tuesday. That was Jim Kuretski in the first district, who received a three-year term.
