“I will run a people-powered campaign – walking, knocking on doors and meeting residents and business owners of District 7,” Keechl said. “The people of District 7 will always be my main focus.”
Due to term limits, four long-time commissioners are leaving, two in 2012, and two more in 2014.
“The Broward County Commission needs a seasoned business professional with local government experience,” Keechl says. “I have the ideas, determination and skills to hit the ground running. I will make things happen.”
Keechl believes it is critical to implement government accountability that ensures the residents of Broward County are served ethically, efficiently and respectfully.
In announcing his candidacy for Broward County Commission District 7, Keechl said, “I pledge to continue to have an open door to District 7 residents, to seek out our community leaders for guidance, to listen to neighbors’ concerns, and together to find solutions.”
Keechl believes the Broward County Commission can create jobs.
“We can invest in our seaport, airport, transportation systems, and public infrastructure without raising taxes,” Keechl said. Ken Keechl has never voted in favor of a tax increase.
“As a commissioner, I will continue to support incentives that create, attract and grow companies that will help put people back to work in District 7 and throughout Broward County,” Keechl said.
Ken Keechl served four years on the Broward County Commission, including one year as Broward County mayor. During his service to the county he focused on balancing development with preserving green space.
A native Floridian, Keechl, 48, has lived in Broward County for nearly 25 years and is a graduate of Florida State University. Keechl, a partner at Broward County law firm of Kopelowitz, Ostrow, Ferguson, Weiselberg, Keechl, PA, is taking many cases pro bono in response to current economic conditions.
