Candidate: John R. Brady

I have filed to run for Mayor of Palm Coast. Therefore, I would like to tell you why and a little about myself. I want to be Mayor because I want to see Palm Coast remain a beautiful, charming, vibrant, diverse and growing community. My desire is to have Palm Coast live up to its slogan, “Find Your Florida” even as Palm Coast continues to grow. I want the elected officials to represent the will of the citizens and be responsive to the citizens. One challenge I see is changing the one man rule as embodied in our Charter and personified in the City Manager. Now, I will tell you about myself: I am a lifelong Democrat Born and raised in Jersey City (Hudson County) NJ Attended St. Aloysius Elementary and High School Graduated from St. Peters College Lived in Bethlehem (Northampton County) PA Moved to Palm Coast (Flagler County) FL I am married 48 years with 8 children, 20 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren Career: Employed by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Certified Master Trainer Manager of Child Abuse Hot Line Director of Benefit Delivery Systems Employed by County of Lehigh Crisis Counselor Director of Mobile Crisis Unit Employed by County of Northampton Child Protective Service Supervisor Community involvement Served on Community Action Boards in Pennsylvania Served on Focus on Flagler Board Member of Toastmasters Member Flagler County DEC Completed Palm Coast Citizens Academy As my background indicates, I have a diverse and lengthy career in supervision and management not only at home but also in my work experience
