Scott Israel Officially Running For Broward Sheriff

1 Reply

On Monday afternoon, former Broward Sheriff Scott Israel announced he wants his old job back. In a Facebook post, Israel said:

This morning I filed to run for Sheriff in the 2020 election.

I’ve been honored to serve as Broward’s elected Sheriff, overwhelmingly reelected in 2016. In my six years as Sheriff we were successful in significantly reducing violent crime and burglaries, we lowered recidivism rates, and kept the mentally ill and homeless out of our jails. We have forged relationships in communities that truly mattered and improved lives.

Over the last several months I have travelled throughout Broward County meeting with residents and am thankful for their kindness and strong support.

I’m anxious to get back to work.

Chuck Lanza, the former Broward Director for Emergency Management and Homeland Security, is running for a spot on the Broward County Commission. Lanza, a Republican, filed for the District 5 seat on Tuesday morning. The seat is currently occupied by the term-limited Lois Wexler.

Lanza will face Democrat lobbyist Steve Geller in November 2016. Lanza told the Sun-Sentinel he will start knocking on doors this week with the help of firefighters and police. There’s no truth to rumors that pit bosses and blackjack dealers will be assisting Geller as he knocks on doors.
