Jack Seiler Leads Broward County Mayors in Backing Kendrick Meek

On Thursday, seven Broward County mayors -- including Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler, who is on Democratic gubernatorial front-runner state CFO Alex Sinks short list for lieutenant governor -- endorsed U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meeks bid for the U.S. Senate. The other mayors who backed Meek included: Jack Brady of North Lauderdale; Scott Brook of Coral Springs; Eric Jones from West Park; Peggy Noland of Deerfield Beach; Barrington Russell of Lauderdale Lakes, and Joseph Varsallone of Margate.

"Kendrick Meek has always led by rolling up his sleeves and getting the job done, said Seiler. Kendrick stands with and for people who work hard to better their community through hands-on action. Kendrick Meek is committed to the economic growth of our cities, and the diverse neighborhoods and communities throughout Broward County will be better off with Kendrick giving voice to our concerns. We need a leader like Kendrick and I know that, when elected, he will be a fighter for us."

"Our campaign is honored to receive the endorsements of these leaders who shoulder a great weight as mayors of our cities, said Meek. These mayors stand where the rubber meets the road. For these mayors, unemployment data are not measured in numbers, but rather in real people who are personally affected by the economic downturn. They deserve a senator who will fight hard to bring jobs to their cities, just as they are fighting hard every day for people who call Broward County home. They will have an equal partner working with them to help their cities experience economic prosperity once again.
