Pembroke Pines Mayor

Description

The Pembroke Pines City Commission, the deliberative body that governs the City, is comprised of a Mayor and four Commissioners. The City Commission appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, and members of City boards and committees. The Mayor is elected at large, serves for four years, and presides over Commission meetings. Each of the four Commissioners is elected from a single geographic district, and serves for four years with only two District seats coming up for election every two years. The City Commission represents the public interest, promotes prompt, courteous responses to citizen problems and concerns, provides clear leadership and direction, and assures the present and future fiscal integrity of the City.

Application Guidelines

To become a candidate, you must: 1. File Form DS-DE 9, Appointment of Campaign Treasurer and Designation of Campaign Depository with the elections administrator (usually the office of the County or City Clerk) prior to collecting contributions or making expenditures on behalf of your campaign, and prior to opening a campaign account. 2. Designate a primary campaign depository with any bank, savings and loan association, or credit union authorized to do business in the State of Florida. The campaign account must be separate from any personal or other account and used only for depositing campaign contributions and making expenditures. All contributions must be deposited into such account and all expenditures must be drawn by a check on such account. All deposits must be accompanied by a bank deposit slip containing the name of each contributor and the amount contributed by each. 3. File Form DS-DE 84, Statement of Candidate within ten days after filing Form DS-DE 9 (the Appointment of Campaign Treasurer). There is usually only a one week qualifying period for Florida races, so please contact the election administrator (County or City Clerk) to verify the dates. A financial disclosure is required and the candidate must take a loyalty oath. If you have questions regarding an election, county elections departments and the Florida Elections Division are excellent resources.
