39- JUSTIN FLIPPEN — Wilton Manors City Commissioner
Justin Flippen is a Broward County native, and will happily relate how he used to wait for his mother to take aerobic classes at Candy Colbe’s Fitness Studio—the current home of Hunters nightclub and gay dancararium. It is understandable then why Justin received the largest number of votes cast for any Wilton Manors candidate when he was elected as City Commissioner in 2008 and again in 2012. Since then, he since established the city’s first Diversity and Citizenship Committee, secured fairness and equality in city approved contracts, recognized the contribution of women through the creation of the city’s Women’s History Month program, as well as be a lead voice from the city on legislation and policy matters before the State and Federal governments. As the “People’s Commissioner,” Justin maintains an open door policy and believes governments are the servants, not the masters, of the people.
