Hello My Friend:
I just wanted you to know that I filed papers with the Supervisor of Elections to seek the Palm Beach County District 1 Commission Seat, currently held by Commissioner Karen Marcus. Although Karen has done a fine job for the citizens of the North County, she is nearing the end of her term due to term limits on the Commission. Many will seek this important seat but I believe that with my background, I will be the most qualified to make the difficult decisions that need to be made.
I have been a resident of the Jupiter/Tequesta area for more than 23 years, raising my daughter Avery and buidling a business. Along with my family and friends, we enjoy our North County beaches, parks and special way of life. I want to continue with this effort to keep this special feeling and ensure that our parks and beaches remain in pristine condition, thus attracting quality businesses that will bring much needed employment to our area. Business is the backbone of any successful community and I intend to foster a relationship with business owners from all over the world to bring them together in Palm Beach County.
As a former Jupiter Council member for nearly 6 years, including one year as Vice-Mayor, a Jupiter Planning & Zoning Commissioner for 4 years, and a former Council member for the Village of Tequesta, I know how government works and I know how to make the hard decisions that are necessary. My experience as a successful business owner and real estate investor over the last 21 years has shown me ways to tighten a budget, thus saving money to pay the bills and provide jobs. The Palm Beach Post stated that I was a “municipal budget watchdog who knew where to look” and the Jupiter Courier stated that I was a “candidate that had vision that would provide a balance between revenues and service”. I believe in a balanced budget where you spend no more than you take in. I also believe that
bigger government equals bigger spending, and we need to spend less.
As a Detective with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Division, I was assigned to the State Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit Task Force, formerly known as the Corruption Unit, partly because of my experience and knowledge of local governments. Working with the State Attorney’s Office, Inspector General’s Office and the Commission on Ethics, I have learned first hand the importance of having strong, ethical leadership in every facet of our government. We should not tolerate anything less.
If the words “Integrity”, “Responsibility” and “Accountability” mean anything to you, I want you to know that they mean everything to me. We should all expect our community leaders to live by these three words if they want to represent us in any area of public service. I was taught at an early age that these words would shape who I am as a person and how those around me would perceive me, and I hope I have not disappointed anyone. As a United States Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran, our motto has always been “Semper Fedilis”, meaning “Always Faithful”. I will remain always faithful to my family, friends and those that entrust me with their voite of confidence.
I have organized a campaign to be elected to the very important District 1 Seat. This journey will be long and expensive. If you can help in any way, simply by having me come to your home to meet friends and neighbors, by arranging meet and greets with condo or homeowners associations, by making a donation or simply just telling your friends about my effort, I would appreciate it. Send them a copy of the newsletter and my email address
info@danamero.com and they can contact me directly.
In November 2012, I want to be your next Palm Beach County Commissioner representing the North County.
With your help, we can make this happen. Thank You!
In Good Health,
Dan Amero
