BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Local community leader and former Boca Raton City Councilman Andy Thomson has officially qualified for the open Boca Raton City Council Seat D. The qualification period ran from November 1 – November 9, 2023.
The qualification period is the set allotment of time the city allows candidates to submit the required paperwork and petitions to have their name placed on the ballot. The seat Thomson qualified for is an open seat.
“I am so grateful for the nearly 350 residents who signed their name on my petition to ensure I qualified for the March election. I love our City and will keep working to preserve our incredible quality of life,” Thomson stated.
Thomson qualified with 347 verified petitions collected from Boca Raton voters. The volume of Thomson’s petitions – well beyond the 200 required – highlights the passion voters had in ensuring Thomson was on the ballot this March.
Andy Thomson was elected to the Boca Raton City Council in a special election in August 2018 and secured re-election unopposed in March 2020. He served as the Vice-Chair of Boca Raton’s Community Redevelopment Agency and sat on the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency’s governing board. His prior roles include positions on the City of Boca Raton’s Education Task Force and the City of Boca Raton’s Community Advisory Panel.
A Georgia Tech electrical engineering graduate and former college football player, Thomson also holds a law degree from the University of Miami School of Law.
