\"WPBF\"DaniellePORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

Port St. Lucie has elected Steven Giordano as its new mayor, defeating incumbent Shannon Martin by more than 2,500 votes. <\/p>\n

The election result represents a more than 14-point swing in the margin since the August primary, when Martin finished ahead of Giordano. <\/p>\n

Giordano said the campaign debate played a role in changing voters’ minds. He campaigned on government transparency, traffic, and managing the city’s rapid growth. <\/p>\n

“I think they saw somebody dedicated, watched [the] debate, saw somebody here for [the] right reasons, not a politician, not here for money, for the people, and I’m proud to be the people’s mayor,” Giordano said. <\/p>\n

When asked about how he plans to address the recent historic flooding across the city, Giordano said, “First [and] foremost, meeting with tops. Residents don’t deserve what they went through last week.” <\/p>\n
