Polling is over, the votes have been tallied and for the first time ever an openly gay man has been elected to the Lake Worth City Council.
A 32 year Lake Worth resident and business owner Andy Amoroso, 47, was sworn in Nov. 14 after defeating incumbent Jo-Ann Golden in a Nov. 8 election which saw Amoroso receive more than 59 percent of the vote.
Amoroso is one of the founding members of the Lake Worth Downtown Cultural Alliance and a member of the Community Redevelopment Association – a post he had to relinquish due to conflict of interest with his running for office. In order to get elected he harnessed his support as a local businessman to flex his political muscle.
