“As the youngest Mayor in Broward County, it has been an honor to grow in my role as a public official serving the residents, business owners, and visitors of my hometown,” said Mayor Arserio. “As your Mayor, I will continue to advocate for the success of our community.”
Commissioner Caggiano, who joined the City Commission in 2016, was selected as Vice Mayor.
“It is my absolute pleasure to represent Margate as Vice Mayor to ensure our taxpayers receive the best municipal services possible,” said Vice Mayor Caggiano. “I will work hard to address new opportunities and challenges to envision a better Margate for the future.”
