Bill Mutz and Saga Stevin went head to head Tuesday, November 2 for the office of Lakeland mayor. Mutz was declared the projected winner with 58.63% of the total vote.
Mutz was seeking a second four-year term while newcomer Saga Stevin said the city needed new leadership.
Mutz was elected as Lakeland's mayor back in 2018.
“Experience matters so what I want to continue to do is provide the same public service that I’ve been able to do the first four years,” Mutz said.
