Mayor Nick Sortal
Since elected Mayor in 2022, Nick Sortal has focused on making Plantation more affordable, safer, and more responsive to the needs of our residents. Nick led the first millage-rate reduction in nearly a decade during the most recent budget process.
Other initiatives he cites include implementing police body cameras, opening North Acres Park, creating a stormwater team to reduce flooding, and expanding transparency and communication with residents through a regular email newsletter, a weekly “Monday Mayor’s Minute” video, and direct responses on social media.
Nick is in his eighth year as a Plantation elected official and previously served on the City Council from 2018 to 2022.
