                                                    forward to a happy and healthy
                                                   2025. I am honored to serve as
                                                   your Fort Lauderdale District 4 City
                                                   Commissioner and look forward to
                                                   the many ways we will work together
                                                   to improve the quality of life in your
                                                   neighborhood and our city!

                                                   I invite, and encourage, you to play
                                                   an active role in our community.
                                                   As we begin 2025, I am looking
                                                   forward to a renewed sense of
                                                   togetherness and community
                                                   engagement in our city. Whether
                                                   it is by attending an event, joining a board, or sharing feedback on an item of
                                                   interest, your participation is the key to the success of our community today and
                                                   for generations to come.
                                                   The City Commission usually meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
                                                   I will be hosting regular Agenda Review meetings to review items on the agenda
                                                   and to answer any questions. District 4 Agenda Review meetings are open to all
                                                   residents and are an opportunity to share feedback before the Commission votes
                                                   on an item. Please contact my office to join our email distribution list.
