Julie Carson Launches Comeback

Former Wilton Manors Vice Mayor and three-term City Commissioner Julie Carson announced her campaign for mayor this week.
Carson served on the City Commission from 2010 to 2020 and was part of the commission that made Wilton Manors the second city in the nation with an entirely LGBTQ governing body.
She will face current Commissioner Paul Rolli and candidate Jerry Fisichelli in the race.
Carson previously ran for mayor in 2020, losing to current Mayor Scott Newton by just 112 votes.
Carson says her campaign will focus on fiscal responsibility, public safety, economic development, housing affordability, and responsible growth.
