Newspapers

  • South Florida Sun Sentinel: ...the Sun Sentinel Editorial Board recommends voters re-elect incumbent Mayor Tom Truex to office.

    Truex, 51, the city's mayor since 2003, has proven to be an effective and visionary leader in tough economic times. He has led in efforts to boost economic development along the 441 corridor and other areas to create affordable housing and increase city revenue. But he wants to manage the development in a way that concentrates large projects in areas where it makes sense, and has added many acres of open space and parks during his short tenure...

  • Miami Herald: "Mr. Truex, 51... brings an independence to the council that enlivens debates and keeps the administration on its toes. Mr. Truex has earned a third term.

    Mr. Truex is a pragmatist, and he can be flexible...

    Davie may face a budget shortfall of $3 million to $5 million in the next fiscal year. Mr. Truex says the city has a healthy reserve of $28 million, socked away during the housing-boom years. In the short term, Mr. Truex believes the reserve funds will bridge the budget gap..."

    For Davie mayor, The Miami Herald recommends TOM TRUEX.

Organizations

  • Florida Carpenters Regional Council, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America: "You have our full support and we encourage you to publicize our endorsement. The Florida Carpenters Regional Council is currently comprised of 5,500 active members and 5,000 retirees."
  • South Broward Board of Realtors: "Your endorsement was a unanimous vote of the members of our organization's Board of Directors..."
  • Real Estate Association of Greater Ft. Lauderdale: "The Board of Directors voted to recommend your candidacy for re-election."

  • Davie Sports PAC: "...The PAC believes this is what we need in Davie- the political will to support the active parks and sports programs. We believe that the citizens of Davie have invested in active parks and programs, that there are thousands of participants in the sports programs and active parks, and that these programs provide affordable and healthy recreation for our kids, and that these facilities deserve our elected officials' vocal and active support. When an elected official, on the record, as opposed to speaking at a campaign event, publicly demonstrates that support, we want to return that support.

    Accordingly, the Davie Sports PAC will endorse Mayor Tom Truex's re-election. Both candidates have listened to us and responded with their thoughts on the issues, but Mayor Truex has demonstrated a commitment beyond politics, and has taken a stand. It is time for us to stand with him."

  • ASSOCIATIONS of Nova Drive:
    The Associations of Nova Drive held a meeting at one of the members request for the purpose of choosing the best candidate for Mayor of Davie. We weighed all the factors that are important to the citizens of Davie... A.N.D. decided on a unanimous vote to give you our endorsement.

    The nine associations along the Nova Drive corridor wish you good luck with your campaign.

    Sincerely,
    Norm Blanco, President
