A few words from Lake Worth Commissioner Andy Amoroso in support of John Szerdi's re-election:

Dear Residents and Lake Worth Constituents:

I hope that 2015 is a prosperous and healthy one for you, your family and friends.

I have fielded questions about this upcoming election and I believe there is some need for clarification. So, I’d like to tell you about the regular Municipal election that the city will be having on March 10th.

You might remember that at one time, the city’s elections for Commissioner and Mayoral seats occurred in November of each year. Based upon the results of a referendum held in March of 2013, our regular municipal elections will now be held each March. This is also consistent with the election schedule for most other Palm Beach County municipalities.

And, as a reminder, the city of Lake Worth has four City Commissioners that come from four districts within the city. Each Commissioner has to live in one of those districts in order to qualify for that seat, but is elected on a citywide basis. For example, I am the Commissioner for District #3, which is the northeast corner of the city and it is where I live. But I am elected on a citywide basis. The Mayor can come from anywhere in the city and is also elected on a citywide basis.

As far as timing, on March 10, 2015 there will be candidates appearing on the ballot for the District #2 (northwest part of the city) and District #4 (southeast part of the city) seats. Everyone can vote in this election. It is not based upon where the voter lives, you just have to live and be registered to vote in the city.

It’s also important to remember that my District #3 seat is not up for this election. Districts #1, #3 and the Mayor’s seat are up in 2016. They were also up for the March 2014 election, but no one drew a challenger, so no election was held last year.

All that being said, I want you to know that I wholeheartedly support and endorse John Szerdi, your current District #4 Commissioner, who is running for re-election on March 10th. Commissioner Szerdi brings a wealth of knowledge to the city. He is a practicing architect and specializes in “green” building techniques. He has helped the city significantly in re-writing our land development regulations. We can count on him to continue the city’s progress in addressing our most pressing issues going forward.

Thank you for allowing me to serve as one of your Lake Worth Commissioners and please remember to vote on March 10th.

Sincerely,
Andy Amoroso
Lake Worth City Commissioner, District #3
