In Delray Beach City Commission Seat #5
The following candidates are competing for a three-year term as mayor of Delray Beach:
Thomas F. Carney Jr.
Age: 61
Education: Bachelor’s Spring Hill College; J.D., Boston College Law School; L.L.M., Georgetown University Law School
Marital Status: Married, two children
Political/Community Service Experience: Member of the City Commission and mayor, commissioner for the Community Redevelopment Agency, chairman of the Delray Beach Housing Authority
Important Issues: Beach reclamation, over-development, traffic congestion, regulation of sober houses
Quote: “I will continue to make the beach a priority; to keep the sidewalks clean, replace showers and benches and effect the repairs which have languished. Over-development is an issue which involves the entire community. Beach area residents will have to suffer though all the traffic congestion that the Atlantic Crossing project will bring. Also, if code enforcement is staffed up, the unscrupulous sober houses will find it too much of a bother to operate in Delray.”
