Published: Updated:

Reporter Annette Montgomery is closely watching the outcome for the Fort Myers City Council in two wards.

Incumbent Liston Bochette has been reelected over Cindy Banyai for Fort Myers’ Ward 4.

He was going against Cindy Banyai.

Diana Giraldo won over Jacquelyn McMille, who replaced the retiring Johnny Streets in Distirct 2.

The Fort Myers City Council is comprised of a mayor and six councilpersons.

The mayor represents all residents citywide and is elected by registered voters across all wards. 

Each councilperson is elected by registered voters in his/her respective ward, and they represent that particular ward for a 4-year term.

A council member must reside in the ward from which he or she is elected.

After her win, Giraldo said, “I have a lot of new ideas that I’m ready to bring to council.”
