Picture shows Rep. Jack Seiler in painful run!
And you thought we were talking about his recently announced entry into the Fort Lauderdale Mayoral race!
Actually, we received this photo, from an anonymous source, of a very pained looking State Representative Jack Seiler, dragging himself (with the help of some young tots) through a Wilton Manors 5K race!
When reached for a comment, Seiler exclaimed, "I sure hope the Mayoral race is easier than that run was" ! On a more serious note, Seiler sent in this statement.......
"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to continue to serve the citizens of Fort Lauderdale in a new capacity. Since 2000, I have been honored and privileged to represent areas of Fort Lauderdale in the Florida House of Representatives, and I have truly enjoyed my tenure in Tallahassee. Now, I am looking forward to representing all of Fort Lauderdale in City Hall."
...stay tuned for more articles on the upcoming exciting Fort Lauderdale Mayoral race!
Looking at the responses on the Sun Sentinal Blog Jack looks to be in pretty good shape (politically) physically from the above picture he may need to work out a little more.
Its pretty sad that Cindi is going so negative so early. It almost looks like the only issue she can challenge Seiler on is residency. I think for most Fort Lauderdale residents its not a matter of where you came from but what results you can accomplish and make things better from the previous adminsitration.

So Jack did you finish the race? LOL...
You should be honored & privileged for serving the residents of Ft. Lauderdale as our Representative. You did a wonderful job!
Getting the "Bryant Penney Law" passed was remarkable, this you should be very proud of!
I was very proud to have you as my Rep. before the district change.
I feel within my "heart & gut" that one day I will be calling you Mayor Jack Seiler!

I have to agree with Anonymous ~
Should not matter where one lived before moving into our city to run for Mayor. Jack Seiler is a resident of Ft. Lauderdale & that makes him qualified!
Got to rememeber too~ he was also a House Representative for a couple of districts throughout Broward County.
He knows our city & what our city needs.
Jack will bring "true" leadership back to our city.
He certainly won't be Naugle for damn sure. Got a problem Jack with do his best to find the solution to solve that problem. (Naugle always agrees with you, but nothing ever gets done)

I've know Jack since law school, worked with him, and seen all the fantastic things he's done for all of Broward County.
If he has to breath that hard to win the mayoral race, there's definitely something wrong with the course.
He's got my vote for mayoral and one day for Senator when he goes to that big house.
