Notes

  • City commissioner G. H. Sutherland served as acting mayor after Eugene Goodman Duckworth resigned in the wake of a failed city commissioners recall election. Sutherland served for about four weeks until a special election was held. Former mayor James LeRoy Giles won the special election and served out the remainder of the term.
  • Ernest Page was appointed interim mayor for about six weeks in March–April 2005 while Buddy Dyer was under investigation for election fraud stemming from the 2004 election. The charges against Dyer were dismissed, and Dyer was reinstated as mayor on April 20, 2005.
