Jerry Wetzel and Shellie Thole will join the Neptune Beach City Council after qualifying as the only candidates for Seats 4 and 5 in the 2026 election.

Both will appear on the Tuesday, Nov. 3, general election ballot and be sworn in afterward. No opponents filed against them during the June 8–12 qualifying period.

Thole became the sole Seat 5 candidate after Nia Livingston, who had also filed, withdrew her candidacy, according to the city's candidates page. Wetzel was the only filer for Seat 4.
