Voters went to the polls in Apopka on Tuesday for a mayoral runoff election between the same mayor the city has had for 60 years and a first-term council member.

It's been a bitter battle between the longest-serving mayor in the United States, 93-year-old John Land, and newcomer, Joe Kilsheimer, with claims of controversial campaign tactics thrown in the mix.

Around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, final voting numbers showed Kilsheimer beat Land with 3,352 votes to the former mayor's 2,803.

Land was seeking his 20th term.

"It's been an honor to serve and I appreciate that," Land said. "I love Apopka still, but I probably have a broken heart."

In March, Kilsheimer received 48 percent of the vote to Land's 38 percent. However, 50 percent was needed to win.

On Tuesday night, Kilsheimer was all smiles after his win.

"I just want to thank everyone in Apopka its just an amazing amazing day," Kilsheimer said. "Apopka has been waiting for this time for a long time and we did it."

Kilsheimer said he will focus first on gaining the support of his opposition.

"There are so many old Apopka people who love and admire and respect mayor Land and those people feel very strongly about Apopka as well," Kilsheimer said. "We need to reach out and heal Apopka after this contentious election."

The election became combative when potentially illegal robocalls started lighting up phones across Apopka from fake organizations.

However, it's unclear who was actually behind them. Various fake groups, including Democrats for Leadership and Republican Party of Apopka, claim they are behind the calls.

The call accuses Kilsheimer of violating the public trust, but Kilsheimer thinks Land's campaign is footing the bill.

WESH 2 News reached out to the Land campaign, but Land was unavailable and his campaign manager declined to comment.
