Commissioner Tom Carney announced his candidacy in the Delray Beach mayoral race, challenging former Planning Board Chairman Cary Glickstein for the post.
The seat will be vacated by current Mayor Woodie McDuffie, who is not eligible to run after reaching his six-year term limit on the commission.
“I understand the issues facing our city and have the proven leadership to get the job done,” Carney, who is vice mayor, said in a press release.
“Our city is facing some very serious issues in the near future. Now more than ever, we need a mayor with the experience and leadership to guide our city in the right direction. I have the vision to lead and the plan to address some of our city’s most pressing concerns,” he said.
Carney, a lawyer with Carney Stanton, joined the commission in March 2011. He served on the city’s housing authority from 1996 to 2003 and the Community Redevelopment Agency from 2003 to 2011.
Delray Beach’s election is March 12.
