Key Points
  • Mayor Andrew Miller will run for a three-year term in Seat 1 and face challenger Timothy Guinn Jr. in the Nov. 3 High Springs City Commission election.
  • Gigi Buigas and former Commissioner Ross Ambrose will compete for Seat 2, with Vice Mayor Wayne Bloodsworth Jr. not seeking reelection after starting a short term in March 2024.

The candidates running for seats on the High Springs City Commission during the Nov. 3 election are set after the three-day qualifying period concluded last week.  

Incumbent and Mayor Andrew Miller will run for another three-year term in Seat 1 and face a challenge from 35-year-old Timothy “Timmy” Guinn Jr. Miller has served on the commission since 2023 and was elected mayor in November.  

Seat 2 will see a new commissioner sworn in as Vice Mayor Wayne Bloodsworth Jr. will not run for reelection following a short term that started in March 2024 after former Commissioner Steve Tapanes resigned.
