As of the November 3, 2026 election, Newton is the sitting Mayor of Wilton Manors. The 2026 ballot lists him for a commission seat rather than for re-election as Mayor. He served as a City Commissioner from 2000 to 2018 and previously sat on the Planning and Zoning Board. He has run an upholstery business, Quality Interiors, since 1981.
He has campaigned on institutional knowledge and continuity, responsiveness to constituents including a willingness to change a vote based on resident input, and infrastructure — water costs, sewer repairs and environmental hazards from leaking pipes. He has also spoken about balancing development density against resident preference while protecting the tax base, and about advocacy for the LGBTQ community.
OutSFL reported that Newton had not publicly explained why he chose to run for a commission seat rather than for re-election as Mayor. We found no Wilton Manors term-limit provision that would require the move.
No campaign website or social account was found.

Where this comes from
Everything above is drawn from the public sources cited in the text. We have not put our own questions to the candidates. Nothing above is a characterization of Scott Newton's views by us.
We do not endorse candidates. If we put questions to the candidates, every candidate in this race will get the same questions and the same space, and their answers will run in their own words. Something here wrong?Tell us and we will fix it.
Correction, October 4, 2026: An earlier version of this page said we had sent the same questions to every candidate and were waiting for a reply. We had not sent them. That statement has been removed, as have mentions of the questionnaire in the profiles of Scott Newton and Jerry Fisichelli.
