Happy Fourth of July

Equality, justice, and progress — those are foundational American values that we work to uphold today, 248 years after our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence. That document established our nation as one of strong values and action by stating that all of us are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Here in Fort Lauderdale, we remain dedicated to preserving our freedoms and our vision for a brighter future. We are working to make sure that everyone who lives here can enjoy safety, economic stability, and cultural innovation.

As Mayor, I have enjoyed focusing on making our city an even better place to live, and I hope to continue to serve you and our beautiful community in the coming years. Together, we will write our city’s next chapter — and it will be a remarkable tale!

I hope that you have a joyful and peaceful Independence Day!

Dean
