Florida Democratic Party Congratulates Andy Thomson on Flipping Boca Raton Mayor’s Office and Winning by Just 5 Votes

Tallahassee, FL — The Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement declaring victory in the race for Boca Raton Mayor:

“I’m thrilled to congratulate Mayor-elect Andy Thomson on this monumental victory. Winning by a margin of just 5 votes, this race is proof that organizing everywhere and talking to every voter will make all the difference in 2026,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “Andy has led as a Councilman with integrity, care, and with the community’s best interest in mind. I have no doubt he will serve as Mayor with just as much heart and passionate service. 

Andy’s election marks the first time in decades that a Democrat has held the seat. This victory reiterates an undeniable trend in Florida: Democrats can run and win anywhere–including Donald Trump’s backyard. Floridians are tired of the chaos, corruption, and sky high prices on everything from groceries, to gas, and healthcare. They are voting for trusted leaders like Andy to steady the ship and return common sense, people-centered solutions back to our communities.

We’re proud of Andy and his involvement with our Take Back Local program. By providing candidates with resources and on the ground support, the Florida Democratic Party continues to swing the pendulum in our direction.”
