I’d love to become Plantation’s mayor, and have filed to run in this fall’s election.

As anyone who has followed me on Facebook, NickSortal.com or other social media knows, I think our city is best when everyone is involved. That’s why I share as much information as possible as often as possible with you residents. I”ll never forget: You pay my salary.

 That way of thinking will continue when I become mayor I want to improve our web site so vital city updates are put out there immediately: You’ll then decide whether you like what’s happening or not, and I’ll encourage you to respond.

  I’ve been studying and training for this position since first elected to city council in 2018. No one has worked harder. I’m the only person ever in Plantation to attend Level I and Level II League of Cities trainings. That’s where I have picked up valuable “hard skills” and borrow from best practices in all 411 Florida municipalities. “We’ve always done it that way” and institutional knowledge do carry some weight in Plantation, but if other cities have great ideas, why not borrow them?

For those who don’t know me, welcome! There’s plenty about me on the links at the top of the page.

I’ve worked hard to improve our city’s relationship with our schools. And most satisfying, I enjoy working one-on-one with our residents almost daily, answering questions about water bills, cracked sidewalks and public safety..

I go to every public event possible, for a first-hand look at residents’ concerns. That means school award ceremonies, organizations such as the Plantation Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis and, very importantly, neighborhood groups and HOAs.

Moving forward, I will push for economic aid for small businesses and residents as we recover from Covid-19, urge modernization of our city website for water billing and permitting and tighten code enforcement.
You placed your trust in me — twice! — and I have not forgetten that. Every single day.
