GULF BREEZE, Fla. (WKRG) - The newly-elected mayor of Gulf Breeze has resigned amid an inappropriate texting scandal. David Landfair sent a letter to the city council and citizens of Gulf Breeze this afternoon. News 5 was able to obtain a copy of the letter from South Santa Rosa News.

It reads in part:

"I must admit to an error in judgment by engaging in inappropriate texting with an adult woman. I have caused embarrassment to my family, friends and supporters, and I do not wish to spend my term as mayor defending my texting or dragging the City into discussion that distracts from issues and projects of greater importance."

Landfair was elected in November 2018 and has been on the job less than two months. He has served on the Gulf Breeze City council since November 2010.

Mayor Pro Tem Cherry Finch is now acting mayor.

Gulf Breeze is a well-known speed trap.

I was wondering why he took the pains to mention ‘adult woman,’ when I read the article.

Bad man!

Doesn’t he get out this April?

Seems like it’s really passed fast.
