None of the candidates received more than 50% of the vote, so this means Lane and Burton will be on the Nov. 2 ballot for the next mayor of Lake Helen.
Mayor Daisy Raisler, who’s held the position, since 2017 is stepping down. She defeated Burton in 2019.
Burton previously served as a Lake Helen commissioner and vice mayor for Zone 2 until 2020, Hometown News reported.
Lane was commissioner of Zone 4, according to the publication.
The race was the first jump into politics for Olsen.
