Community volunteer and first-generation Cuban American, Yvette Drucker, has recently received a significant show of support in her bid for another term on the Boca Raton City Council. Ruth’s List Florida, a Democratic, pro-women organization has proudly endorsed Drucker, praising her dedication to her constituents and her unwavering advocacy for women and children.
The endorsement has come at a crucial time, just weeks before the city’s nonpartisan elections, scheduled for Tuesday, March 19. Drucker’s only opponent is Bernard Korn, who previously ran against her in the 2021 elections and secured less than 5% of the vote. The backing from Ruth’s List Florida could be a significant boost for Drucker, potentially securing her another three years in office.
Yvette Drucker: A Committed Advocate
Drucker’s commitment to her community is undeniable. She has been an active voice for children and families, not just since her time in office, but also in her previous roles. She has dedicated time to the Junior League of Boca Raton and served as a statewide Public Affairs Chair for a coalition representing 23 member Florida Leagues. Currently, she serves on the National League of Cities and has been appointed to the League’s 2024 Transportation and Infrastructure Services Federal Advocacy Committee.
Ruth’s List Florida: Supporting Women in Politics
Endorsements from organizations like Ruth’s List Florida are incredibly crucial in local elections. Having the backing of a group that advocates for women in political office strengthens Drucker’s position and amplifies her campaign message. Ruth’s List Florida has a history of supporting women who are committed to improving their communities, and their endorsement of Drucker reflects her dedication and hard work.
The Upcoming Election: A Battle of Ideals
With less than three weeks to go until the election, Drucker’s campaign is in full swing. Her sole opponent, Bernard Korn, a former law enforcement officer and teacher, is also campaigning hard, despite his previous unsuccessful run against Drucker. Two more candidates, Brian Stenberg and Andrew Thomson, are vying for the soon-to-be-open Seat D, which current Council member Monica Mayotte must vacate due to term limits.
In conclusion, the upcoming Boca Raton City Council election is bound to be an exciting one. With Drucker’s recent endorsement from Ruth’s List Florida, her campaign is gaining momentum, reflecting the community’s trust in her abilities and dedication. As a longtime advocate for women and children, and a proven leader in her community, Yvette Drucker represents a shining example of the kind of leadership needed at the local level. Regardless of the outcome, this election will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the future direction of Boca Raton.
