On Tuesday, the Florida Chamber of Commerce named Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, as their most valuable legislator for the 2011 session. The Florida Chamber pointed to the freshman senator’s record on a number of issues, including reducing the corporate income tax and fighting for insurance and legal reform.

“Senator Bogdanoff has been a champion for pro-business legislation since she was elected to the House of Representatives in 2004,” said Jon Ferrando of AutoNation who serves on the Florida Chamber of Commerce board of directors. “She helped pass much of the Florida Chamber’s agenda for jobs during her first year in the Senate.”

“I am honored to be recognized by the Florida Chamber for my efforts this session,” said Bogdanoff. “As a small-business owner and chair of the Finance and Tax Committee of the Florida Senate, I believe it is critical that we continue to do what we can statutorily to foster a business climate that will have a positive impact on our economy and private-sector job growth.”

Bogdanoff Secures Four More Palm Beach County Endorsements

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 27, 2010

DISTRICT 25, Fla. — Today, the Ellyn Bogdanoff for State Senate Campaign announced the endorsement of four more elected officials in Palm Beach County.

The City of Palm Beach Gardens and the Town of Palm Beach Shores lie in the northern end of District 25 and represent two critical voting blocks in the upcoming election to decide the next State Senator from District 25. This latest major endorsement comes just a day after four more leaders in the Village of Wellington announced their support and is continued evidence that the Bogdanoff Campaign is closing strong with only 6 days to go before the election.

“It’s an honor to have earned the trust and support of Vice-Mayor Premuroso, Council Member Russo, Mayor Workman and Commissioner Tropepe,” said Ellyn. With just days to go before voters head to the polls, I am extremely grateful to have garnered the bipartisan support of hundreds of elected officials, community leaders and residents of District 25.”

Vice-Mayor Bert Premuroso: Mr. Premuroso has been a Palm Beach Gardens resident since 1969, after his family relocated from Yonkers, New York. After graduating Palm Beach Gardens High School and Palm Beach State College, Mr. Premuroso went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Florida State University. Mr. Premuroso works as a Vice President and Business Development Leader for a local community bank and has over 22 years of experience in the banking industry. Civically active, he most recently served for seven years as the Chairperson of the City’s Recreation Advisory Board before being elected to the City Council in 2008.

Council Member Joseph Russo: Mr. Russo’s life of community service began in 1977 when he ran successfully for City Council in East Hanover, New Jersey. During his six years in East Hanover, he served one year as Mayor and one year as Police Commissioner. Mr. Russo then moved to Palm Beach Gardens in 1984 and was first elected to Palm Beach Gardens City Council in 1989. Over his course of service for the City of Palm Beach Gardens, Mr. Russo has served as Mayor for 12 of those years. Mr. Russo holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Seton Hall University. He is a self-employed Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner and Personal Financial Specialist.

Mayor John Workman: John Workman is a lifelong resident of Singer Island, and a fourteen year resident of the Town of Palm Beach Shores. At the age of 19, John became the youngest candidate for elected office in Palm Beach County when he ran for commissioner for the Town of Palm Beach Shores. During that race, there were five candidates running for two commission seats. John enjoyed the thrills of a door-to-door campaign and received prime time news coverage because of his young age, but in the end, he was not able to secure enough votes. At the age of 26, John ran a second time for a seat on the Town Commission of Palm Beach Shores. This time, he successfully defeated two sitting incumbents, receiving 45% of the vote in a three-way race. John served as vice mayor from 2007 until 2008. In March of 2009, John became the fourteenth mayor for the Town, providing leadership and oversight for the Town’s day-to-day operations. John has served on the boards of the Singer Island Civic Association and the Palm Beach Republican Club. He has also served as a member of the Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee, and as chairman for a number of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ federal grant review panels in Washington, DC. John is a member of Christ Fellowship Church in Palm Beach Gardens.

Commissioner Lisa Tropepe: Lisa Tropepe was born in Brooklyn, New York. She moved with her family to Broward County in 1978 until her ultimate move to Palm Beach Shores in August, 1997. Lisa received two Civil Engineering degrees from the University of Miami in 1987 and became a Licensed Civil Engineer in Florida in 1992. In 2001, Lisa became a partner in the firm now known as Engenuity Group, Inc., located in West Palm Beach. Also in 2001, the firm, with Lisa as the lead, became one of three consulting firms for the town of Palm Beach Shores. She is credited for designing the road narrowing and sidewalk improvements around the town’s perimeter right-of-way. Lisa became a Commissioner in October of 2003 and has added a more technical perspective to the Commission over the years. Her loves include her husband, Dan Shalloway, and her adopted daughter Gina Elizabeth. She enjoys yoga, line dancing and of course, walking on the parkway in “The Best Little Town in Florida.”
