County Mayor Steven Abrams didn’t wait long to make the quest for his County Commission job a race.

    Andy O’Brien, a Democrat who moved to Delray Beach in July, formally announced Sept. 24 that he would challenge Abrams for the District 4 seat. Abrams, a Republican, filed his candidacy Oct. 1.

    Abrams, a five-term Boca Raton City Council member and three-term mayor, was appointed to the County Commission in 2009 and ran unopposed in 2010. He earned his law degree at George Washington University.

    O’Brien, a real estate consultant and Democratic precinct committeeman, is making his first run for office.

    The race will be on the Nov. 4, 2014, ballot. 

    District 4 covers the barrier island from Boca Raton to the southern part of South Palm Beach and parts of mainland Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
