Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber among pols backing David Richardson’s City Commission bid

Former state Rep. David Richardson is touting endorsements from Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber and a pair of City Commissioners as he runs for a spot on the Miami Beach Commission.

“In the Legislature David Richardson, a forensic auditor by trade, proved himself to be a diligent and dogged protector of taxpayer money, I’m confident he would be a splendid addition to our City’s Commission.”
— Mayor Dan Gelber

I’m Going To Do The Work

It’s been a big few weeks on David’s campaign. The Miami Beach Community Newspaper endorsed David, and we just released our second campaign video. We wanted to make sure you’re the first to see this video and hear about David’s plan to get the job done for our city.

We’ve all heard cynics say that Miami’s Beach’s best days are behind us. David knows this isn’t true. He believes that if we work together, we can solve today’s problems and prepare our community for tomorrow. He believes that by keeping our eye on the ball, we can make critical investments in our environment and protect our city’s financial future. And he believes that Miami Beach can be a national model for what it means to be an inclusive, 21st-century city.

If you agree that David is going to do the work our city needs, share our video on social media.

Over 1,950 petitions collected!

We submitted a total of 1,954 petitions to qualify for the November ballot for City Commissioner in Group VI. This represents more than double the number of petitions required, and reaffirms our grassroots and neighbor-to-neighbor campaign we launched earlier this year.

I spent the entire summer knocking on doors to meet with neighbors and voters one-on-one to hear directly from them about what they consider to be our priorities. I am proud of our early support!

Meet David Richardson

For six years I had the great privilege of serving the people of Miami Beach in the Florida House of Representatives. Now, I'm a candidate for commissioner to serve our community in our local government. While the city is one of the most progressive cities in the United States, we do have challenges.
