NICK SORTAL FOR PLANTATION COUNCIL
GROUP 5
MOVE FORWARD!

Welcome to my site. The buttons at the top give you more detail on my priorities and my background. I’d also like to point out the Nick’s Notes segment. I am using that as a blog-like device. So far, I have filed my thoughts about social media, sober homes, my experience taking the Plantation Citizens’ Police Academy course, and others.

The slogan for my campaign is MOVE FORWARD, and that has multiple meanings. I think we can move forward in many aspects of our city just by raising our expectations and refocusing our resources. I also think I’d be able to help the council move forward given my ability to see problems as they are developing and cut them off at the pass.

You can help Plantation move forward by voting for me, Nick Sortal, this fall. Our city is in a time of transition. Our longtime mayor is retiring and there are three open council seats. Other candidates propose merely keeping legacies alive. In contrast, I am a fresh face with a bright mind and a great heart.
