Coral Springs Mayor Scott Brook won reelection, receiving 23,322 votes (56%) to Joshua Simmons' 18,409 (44%), according to unofficial results. Simmons conceded the race Tuesday evening.

Why it matters

The result returns Brook to the mayor's office and, along with the commission races, reshapes the city's leadership. Simmons said he wanted to give voters a choice.

Brook won 56% of the mayoral vote, 23,322 votes to 18,409, based on unofficial returns with 99% of Broward County precincts reporting. Seat 4 remained close as of 9:32 p.m., with Jennifer Levi at 45% and Jeffrey Adelman at 43%, and final certification has not yet occurred.

The players

Scott Brook

Scott Brook is the mayor of Coral Springs, who first won a City Commission seat in 2002, served as mayor from 2006 to 2010, and returned to the office in 2019.

Joshua Simmons

Joshua Simmons is a Coral Springs City Commissioner first elected in 2018 who lost the mayoral race to Scott Brook.

Bill Capplis

Bill Capplis is a longtime Coral Springs Police veteran with 26 years of service who appears to have won City Commission Seat 3.

The details

Simmons, first elected to the commission in 2018, conceded the mayoral race Tuesday evening. In Seat 3, Bill Capplis led with 15,561 votes (39%) over Marly Metayer's 13,984 (35%), a race that follows the April 1 shooting death of Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer at her home.

April 1: Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer was fatally shot at her Coral Springs home.
2002: Brook was first elected to the City Commission.
2006 to 2010: Brook served as mayor.
2019: Brook returned to the mayor's office.
Tuesday: Election held and Brook won reelection.

Political Context

Simmons argued that voters deserved a choice, a position that frames the race as a contest over the direction of the commission rather than a referendum on Brook alone. The outcome will be final only after the Broward County Supervisor of Elections certifies the official count.

If the Tuesday results hold, Capplis will serve the two years remaining on Nancy Metayer's term in Seat 3, and Levi will succeed Simmons in Seat 4. Residents' representation on the commission will therefore change even though the mayor's office is unchanged in its occupant.

The takeaway

Voters in Coral Springs chose continuity at the top of city government while opening two commission seats to new leadership. Final certified results will confirm whether Tuesday's margins hold.
