Naugle was endorsed for re-election by the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel. The Sentinel noted that "Naugle's brand of populism has played well with the voters of Fort Lauderdale,"[1] and the Herald observed that he "has taken a conservative approach to redevelopment, serving as a questioning voice even when he cannot build a consensus,"[2]
Naugle ultimately defeated Evans in a landslide, winning re-election with 80 percent of the vote.[3]
