Walter Fajet elected Miami Springs Mayor, joins 2 new Council members at City Hall

For the next two years, Walter Fajet will have a stronger voice in dictating the future of Miami Springs.

Voters Tuesday picked him over former City Council member Bob Best to serve as Mayor.

Fajet, a three-term sitting Council member, beat Best with nearly 66% of the vote. Because of the city’s term limit rules, he can only serve as Mayor for a single term.

Joining him on the five-member Council are new members Joseph Dion and Fabian Perez-Crespo, who respectively won the panel’s Group 2 and Group 4 seats with 50.5% and 64.5% of the vote.
