Newcomer to City Challenges Scott Newton for Mayor
By John Hayden

The race to be mayor of Wilton Manors offers contrasting candidates.
Incumbent Scott Newton is a lifelong resident of the city. Mike Sansevero is a longtime resident and local realtor. Mark Beigay is relatively new to the city, having moved here in early 2023 and works at Covenant House as an intake case manager.
The Gazette has interviewed Newton and Sansevero about the upcoming race. Beigay, however, is a fresh entrant to city politics. He talked with the Gazette and gave a look into his motivations.
Beigay grew up outside Pittsburgh, PA, and graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BS in education with a major in communications media and a minor in technical theater. He has worked in environmental health and safety.
“Safety and Risk Management are priorities to me in whatever my pursuits are. And will be as mayor of Wilton Manors.”
He lived in Fort Lauderdale in the early ‘90s, but it was a fateful trip that drew him to the Island City permanently.
“I returned for a visit to Wilton Manors in October 2022, with my gay brother, who had been visiting Wilton Manors annually for many years. He loves Wilton Manors. And I fell in love with Wilton Manors all over again and decided I was going to move to Wilton Manors and work towards becoming mayor of the city that had such a great impact upon me from this visit at this time in my life.”

With its big picture windows and prime location on Wilton Drive by The Manor Complex, the former Wilton Collective building has been eyed by a lot of businesses interested in grabbing the spot. However, it seems the owner is not in the mood for a long-term commitment.

InTarotGate by Dooney
Recently, seeds sown in the fertile grounds of creativity, work, or the heart — as the Three of Wands whispers — have flourished into resplendent success. The echo of triumph elevates you, placing you in a realm abuzz with energy, akin to the sovereign brilliance of the King of Wands. Yet, with this summit of achievement, dawns the mantle of responsibility: to ensure that this radiant state be accompanied by the sweet nectar of emotional equanimity and fulfillment, promised by the Nine of Cups, to be embraced by you and by those who journey beside you. Keep fueling this splendid flame with the gales of your imagination; it shall burn brightly, casting warmth and light, as long as you continue to breathe life into it.
(Key numbers: 3, 9, 12).
