DISTRICT 3
Councilman Cedrick A. Thomas
He resigned the post in September 2009 but was re-elected in March 2010. His third term was won in March 2011 and he serves until March 2013. Councilman Thomas came to the City Council following a career on the city's police force, where he served for five years and learned much about the needs of city residents, especially the youngest residents. Indeed, at age 29, Councilman Thomas was the youngest member ever elected to the dais in Riviera Beach, and has brought an abiding concern about the City's youth to the Council. He works closely with students and staff at several area schools, especially J.F. Kennedy Middle School. For example, he gathered volunteers, especially those from the Kennedy High School Class of 1966, to commit to a long-term tutoring project at Kennedy. He routinely raises money for special projects there, and is currently spearheading an effort to provide computers to each student. The Councilman studied at Arizona Western College, Northwood University and is a graduate of Indian River Community College's Police Academy. He is currently studying business administration at Northwood University with an anticipated graduation date of December 2011. Contact Information: |
