Voters in West Palm Beach are casting ballots on March 10 to choose the next city commissioner to represent District 3, which covers the downtown and central neighborhoods. Three-term incumbent Christy Fox is running for reelection against political newcomer Roger L. Jackson III, a grant manager at the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County.
Why it matters
The District 3 city commission seat is an important position that represents the downtown and central areas of West Palm Beach. The outcome of this election will impact the city's progress on issues like public safety, infrastructure, and development in these neighborhoods.
The details
Fox, 52, a marketing consultant, is seeking her fourth term and says she has worked to ensure the city's progress is felt in less-affluent parts of her district. She has advocated for more police presence and code enforcement in the Historic Northwest neighborhood and supports considering changes to zoning rules to encourage development that improves the neighborhood while preserving its character. Her opponent, Jackson, 36, is an Army veteran and the head of the nonprofit running club Night Runners WPB. He believes he can 'bring a younger perspective' and his priorities include enhancing public safety and improving the city's roads.
