Meet Juli: A Leader with Integrity and Vision

As a dedicated community member and candidate for Margate City Commission Seat 1, I bring a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to our city’s future. My background in public service and community engagement has equipped me with the skills to address our community’s needs effectively. I am known for my transparency, accountability, and unwavering dedication to serving the residents of Margate.


Why Margate Deserves Honest Leadership: Addressing My Opponent’s Tax Issues

As we approach the final days of this election, it’s crucial to address a significant issue that has come to light regarding my opponent. For over 15 years, my opponent has failed to pay the correct property taxes, claiming ignorance despite holding a degree in economics. This raises serious questions about his honesty and responsibility.


It speaks volumes of Commissioner Anthony Caggiano's character, or lack thereof, that for 8 years he sat on the dais voting on what the residents of Margate would be paying in taxes when he was paying a mere pittance of what he should have been paying for over 15 years. And what is even more disturbing is he had the audacity to rant numerous times about the large percentage of Margate residents who aren't paying their fair share of taxes!


Understanding the Issue

Escrow accounts are designed to ensure that property taxes and homeowners insurance are paid on time. Each month, a portion of the mortgage payment is set aside in the escrow account, and the lender uses these funds to pay the taxes and insurance when they are due. Homeowners receive annual statements detailing these transactions, and any surplus funds are refunded with checks that both homeowners must sign.

Given my opponent’s educational background, it is hard to believe that he was unaware that he was paying the incorrect amount of taxes for his property for such an extended period of fifteen (15) years. The annual statements and surplus check should have alerted him to the issue. Ignorance is not an excuse, especially when it comes to fulfilling one’s financial responsibilities.


Why This Matters

Margate deserves leaders who are responsible, informed, and dedicated to serving the community with integrity. My opponent’s failure to pay his fair share of taxes not only undermines public trust but also deprives the city of essential revenue needed for public services and infrastructure.


My Commitment to You

As your future commissioner, I pledge to uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability. I have never filed for bankruptcy or attempted to evade my financial responsibilities as both my opponents have. I believe in paying my fair share of taxes and contributing to the well-being of our community.


Why Your Vote Matters

Electing an honest and responsible leader is crucial for the future of Margate. I am committed to working tirelessly for our community, ensuring that our local government operates with honesty and transparency. Together, we can build a better, more accountable Margate.
