A Word From Commissioner Davis
Dear Residents of Broward County,
First and foremost, I want to say Thank You! I am profoundly honored to have been elected unopposed to the District 7 seat on the Broward County Commission, succeeding the seat previously held by Fmr. Commissioner Tim Ryan. This opportunity is a testament to the trust and support of the residents of District 7 and I am sincerely grateful.
This election marks a historic moment for our Commission, as it now embodies the rich diversity of our community. With African Americans comprising one-third of the Commission’s nine members, including two Jamaican American women, we are making significant strides toward equitable representation. This progress is not only long overdue but also essential for ensuring that diverse voices are integral to our decision-making processes.
My journey to this role has been shaped by my experience as a former City Commissioner and Vice Mayor of Miramar. As I transition into my new position, I am eager to serve Broward County on a broader scale. District 7 includes vibrant cities such as Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Hollywood, which are among the largest in Broward County. My priorities remain steadfast: enhancing public safety, expanding affordable housing, and fostering economic growth and prosperity.
Broward County is the 17th largest County in the nation with a population of 1.9 million residents. The Fiscal Year 2025 approved budget is $7.7 billion, which facilitates a wide range of services and projects that impact local communities and beyond. The Commission oversees the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades and VisitLauderdale and numerous county services such as public transportation, libraries, environmental resilience and emergency management.
My career in public service has spanned multiple roles, including positions at the Ministry of Agriculture in Kingston, Jamaica; the Capital Taxes office in London; and Miami-Dade County Government. These experiences across three countries provide me with a unique perspective to effectively address the diverse needs of Broward County.
