Gulf Breeze Mayor Won’t Seek Reelection, But Will Seek To Remain Century’s Attorney
April 4, 2018
Tuesday, Gulf Breeze Mayor Matt Dannheisser, an attorney, announced that he will not be seeking reelection, but he plans to continue working as attorney for the Town of Century.
“My decision not to run again as Mayor of Gulf Breeze will not impact my role as the attorney for the Town of Century,” Dannheisser said in an email to NorthEscambia.com.
“Gulf Breeze is unique in the sense that its elected officials have always been unpaid volunteers who serve as a means of community service. Over the past three and half years as Mayor, I have spent a tremendous amount of time working to make things better for the City. We have accomplished more during my time in office than during any comparable time of the City’s history. The City was in good shape when I became Mayor and I am very comfortable that I will be leaving the City in an even better position than when I came into office. Now it is time for someone else to head the call for public service and take the lead in continuing the City’s upward trajectory,” he said.
“I have maintained my law practice while Mayor of Gulf Breeze, although occasionally the demands on my time made for some long nights and weekends to take care of my law firm clients’ needs. Now, I will have more time for my law practice as well as pursuing other endeavors which I have wanted to take up,” Dannheisser concluded.
Also Tuesday, Gulf Breeze City Attorney Mike Stebbins resigned. Dannheisser said he does not intend to return to working as Gulf Breeze attorney, a job he held prior to being elected mayor.

I think the attorney that Century pays needs to be on board and earn his keep.
Is there any conflict of interest here. How could you be mayor of what city had a lawyer of another makes no sense to me
