Who Will Be The New
Honorary Mayor of Lehigh Acres

Currently there are two Lehigh Acres citizens who have signed up run in the race for honorary Ahmed El-Gendy and Denise McLothlin.

The honorary mayor represents the Lehigh Acres community at ribbon cuttings and at ground breakings and at the same time help their favorite charity and the chamber.

The winner of the honorary mayor contest is announced usually on the last Friday night of the Lehigh Spring Festival. Up until that time, nobody knows how much a candidate has collected. A big ceremony is held with a giant check presentation at the outside stage of the Spring Festival, which is scheduled usually during the third week of March. By announcing the winner on Friday night prior to the Saturday parade, it gives contestants time to raise money.
