Parkland Chamber Holds Commission Candidate Forum Oct. 9

Howard Berger, Cynthia Murphy-Salomone, and Neil Kanterman.

The Parkland Chamber of Commerce has changed this month’s event venue due to Hurricane Milton.

City Commission candidates Neil Kanterman, Howard Berger, and Cynthia Murphy-Salomone will answer residents’ questions via Zoom instead of in person.

The “Candidates Forum” was initially scheduled at the Marriott.

The Zoom event begins at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 9. To join, use this link: “Candidates Forum.”

Questions for the candidates should be sent in advance to info@parklandchamber.org. Candidates will not have access to the questions before the event.

Kanterman – a medical doctor who co-owns Parkland’s CrossFit facility with his wife, Andrea – is expected to win the seat as an unopposed candidate for Seat 4. Longtime community leader Golden Johansson suspended her campaign for the seat in May, citing health challenges.

Commission Seat 4 is currently held by Bob Mayersohn, term-limited heading into the Nov. 5 election.

Berger and Murphy-Salomone are running for Commission Seat 3.

Berger was originally elected to the Lauderhill City Commission in 1984 and served in that role through 1990. He was elected again in 2004. Voters subsequently reelected him in 2008, 2012, and 2016. He was term-limited and ineligible to run in 2020.

Murphy-Salomone, an attorney, currently serves as the managing legal product director for Travelers Insurance. Her LinkedIn page shows she worked for Progressive for 19 years before that.

Commission Seat 3 is currently held by Ken Cutler, who is term-limited.

Frank Farro, owner of Acton Academy North Broward in Coral Springs and Vice President for Technology at Virgin Voyages, will moderate the candidate forum.

This has now been changed to a free event.
