Patricia Hawkins-Williams unseated Commissioner Beverly Perkins in District 4, unofficial results show. Fesik, Eaton and Fournier kept their seats.
Patricia Hawkins-Williams defeated Commissioner Beverly Perkins in the Pompano Beach City Commission’s District 4 race Tuesday, unofficial results show. She took 57.67% of the vote in a three-way contest.
The other three incumbents on the ballot kept their seats. Audrey Anne Fesik won District 1, Rhonda Eaton won District 2 and Vice Mayor Alison Fournier won District 3.
The figures come from the Broward County Supervisor of Elections’ unofficial results page, last updated at 12:09 a.m. Wednesday. All 346 Broward precincts had reported and early and Election Day votes were complete. Mail ballots were marked as partially reported, so the totals can still move. The results are unofficial until the county canvassing board certifies them.

Winners in bold. The races are nonpartisan.
District 4: a new commissioner
Hawkins-Williams finished 1,059 votes ahead of Perkins. The city’s City Commission page lists Perkins as the District 4 commissioner. Mary Phillips was third with 366 votes.
District 1 was the closest race
Fesik, the sitting District 1 commissioner, beat Keriann Worley by 506 votes out of 9,002 cast. That was the narrowest margin of the four races, at under six percentage points.
Districts 2 and 3
Eaton, listed on the city’s site as Rhonda Sigerson-Eaton, won almost two-thirds of the vote against two challengers. Fournier, the vice mayor, beat Tom McMahon by 1,678 votes.
District 5 did not appear among the contests on the county’s results page. The city lists Darlene Smith as its commissioner. Mayor Rex Hardin was not on the ballot: the city’s elections page says the mayor serves a four-year term, while district commissioners serve two years.
Broward County and school measures
Pompano Beach voters also had countywide questions on their ballots. The county’s unofficial totals show:
- the quarter-cent sales tax in Broward County Question 1 passed with 54.65%
- the Broward County Public Schools one-mill property tax levy passed with 66.59%
- Broward County Question 2 passed with 50.71%
- Broward County Question 3 passed with 69.38%
Countywide turnout was 48.7%, with 666,186 ballots counted from 1,366,692 registered voters. That figure will rise as the remaining mail ballots are added.
