The City of West Palm Beach Municipal election scheduled for March 14th, 2023, has been canceled.
The City Commission and Mayor voted to cancel the election at the commission meeting on January 23rd, 2023.
For the first time in our city's history, an election has been canceled due to no opposing candidates for the mayoral seat and two commission seats.
This is not a democracy when our right to vote is taken away and our election canceled.
Too much money is thrown at hand-picked candidates, eliminating the competition. As more money pours into our local elections, special interests choose our candidates who become pawns of those companies that put them in power.
We need to send a message that money will not win! We will not stand for our city to be under the sole control of special interests. A recall of our mayor, who is assuming office without an election, will demonstrate the power lies with the voters of our city. Not the developers, special interests, or career-minded political elite.
A successful recall will result in an election where you, the voter, will decide on a new mayor. Any city resident may qualify to run in a special election for the office.
These same special interest groups have successfully installed in office all 5 of our current city commissioners and our mayor.
We must stop the cycle and show the power of the people is stronger than the dollar.
