All three incumbents on the Holmes Beach City Commission will seek additional terms.

Commission Chair Jim Kihm told The Islander May 18 that he would run for reelection in November.

He was first elected to the board in 2017 and won a reelection bid in 2019.

Kihm has served as commission chair since the board appointed him to the position in 2018. He also serves as the city’s legislative liaison and chair of the ManaSota League of Cities.

Incumbent commissioners Carol Soustek and Terry Schaefer previously told The Islander they are running to retain their seats in November.

Voters will choose three candidates on the city ballot.

The window to qualify to run for the city commission will open at noon, Monday, Aug. 23, and close at noon, Friday, Aug. 27.
