I want to thank the residents of District 1 for electing me to represent them. I’ve adopted as my motto the motto of our Police Department: "To protect and serve". That’s what I intend to do.

I’ll do my best to protect the people of my District and our City, and will serve you to the best of my ability. You will not always agree with me but you can rest assured that my decisions will always be based on clear reasoning and what I honestly believe to be in the best interests of our residents.

District 1 is where it all began. It was the birthplace of our city, and we watched as it grew and expanded, until today we are an All America City of more than 150,000 people. We are a diverse but harmonious culture that stretches from the Turnpike in the east to Flamingo Road in the west. We have history on our resume, and want to add to that history as we too grow and expand.

I want to partner with the people of my district and my City. I want to know your wants, your needs and your hopes and then work together to make it all happen.

I am honored to work with the Mayor and the other members of the City Commission and know that together we will create an even greater city.

I ask for your wisdom, your input and your support.

Carl Shechter

City Commission
