MIAMI — Less than a year after the Champlain Towers South collapsed in Surfside, the town’s voters have ousted their mayor.
Business owner Shlomo Danzinger was elected Tuesday to replace Mayor Charles Burkett, who came in third place in the election despite amassing the largest war chest of all candidates.
In the first election since the June 24 condo collapse that killed 98 people and thrust the small town of less than 6,000 residents onto the national stage, Danzinger won a surprise victory against two current elected officials who were in office during the tragedy.
