Dear Wilton Manors Resident,

For the last 4 1/2 years I have had the honor of serving as your Mayor, and for the last 8 years as a commission member. I have served Wilton Manors in many other ways , for over 20 years - from a baseball coach, to a member of the planning and zoning board. When my wife and I decided to raise our family here we also decided we would help make Wilton Manors the best it could be. I am proud to say that, in working with my fellow residents, we have done just that.

As a city, we have done quite well. And for me, I have grown as a leader and as a person dedicated to public service. Whether leading the way on a new City Hall, securing the final funding for Richardson Park, or serving as an advocate and spokesman for our local AIDS Walk, I have treasured the opportunity to serve our city. And I am honored by the tremendous faith the residents have placed in me.

When a seat in the Florida House opened, I felt I had the chance to advance my community at the state level. Though that was not to be, my passion to serve my community was undiminished. It is for this reason that I have decided to run for re-election as your Mayor, and ask for your continued support.

As Mayor, I have navigated our city through tough issues with fiscal prudence, while never losing focus on the quality of life issues that make Wilton Manors a place we all call home. Wilton Manors, like much of the nation, will face some very serious issues over the next few years. But I also believe that we will overcome these challenges as we work together to achieve what is best for us all. I believe I am the right person to, again, lead our city through these challenging times.

Wilton Manors is the Island City , but we do not stand alone. Together, we have achieved great things and it is together that we will accomplish even more. I am grateful for the privilege of serving as your Mayor for the past four and half years. Thank you for taking the time to vote by absentee ballot. I ask you again for your support and your vote on Tuesday, November 4th.

Sincerely,
Scott Newton
