Robert S. Weinroth, 61, a Boca Raton attorney, businessman and community activist, has launched his campaign for Boca Raton City Council Seat D. The incumbent, Anthony J Majhess has announced he will run for Mayor to succeed term limited Mayor, Susan S Whelchel.
Some of the issues Weinroth will highlight during the upcoming campaign are planning for the City’s future growth while focusing on the current commercial and residential development to ensure Boca Raton is positioned to be the best place to live, work and raise a family. “Our city is the envy of Palm Beach County as taxes and fees have been kept in check,” Weinroth said. “We need to continue to ensure our City is on a sustainable path with respect to fiscal, public safety and environmental issues while remaining guardians of our beautiful beaches and parks.”
“It is important for us at this time to ensure we are making fact-based decisions that take into account the residents of the neighborhoods throughout the city,” Weinroth continued. “As a local small businessman, I am sensitive to the need to balance the needs of our business, medical and academic communities with their residential impact. My business experience, legal knowledge and attention to service make me uniquely suited to work together with the new Mayor and City Council to maintain a common-sense approach to the governance of our City. I will work to ensure equity and transparency while remaining accessible to everyone I am privileged to serve,” Weinroth promised.
Weinroth, an attorney admitted to practice in Florida, Massachusetts and New Jersey, currently serves as president and general counsel of Freedom Medical Services Inc, a medical supply company, located in Boca Raton, under the trade name of FREEDOMED®. Together with his wife, Pamela, Weinroth built FREEDOMED® from the ground up and now serves thousands of patients nationwide.
Weinroth has an extensive background in business management, having worked for over ten years at American International Group as president of a claims service subsidiary. Weinroth’s community activities have included service on the City’s Elder Affairs Advisory Board. He has served as president of the Boca Falls Homeowners Association and Briarcliff at Woodfield Country Club Homeowners Association. He was elected to serve on the School Advisory Councils for Waters Edge Elementary and Olympic Heights High School. He also served two terms on the Florida Bar Board of Governors.
Weinroth and his wife, Pamela, are very active in the community. Weinroth has served as VP and chair of finance at B’nai Torah Congregation in Boca Raton and has also served as a volunteer in the Guardian ad Litem Program, advocating for the needs of abused and dependent children and is a member of the Rotary of Boca Raton.
