Join us at noon via Zoom as we welcome Dean Trantalis, Mayor of Fort Lauderdale

Dean Trantalis was first elected mayor of Fort Lauderdale in 2018 and was re-elected in November 2020. His 2018 election represented the largest victory in city history for a candidate running for a first term as mayor, while the 2020 election featured the largest turnout ever in a city race.

Mayor Trantalis previously served on the City Commission representing District 2 for eight years. As mayor, he represents Fort Lauderdale on the Florida League of Cities, the Broward County Tourism Development Council, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance and the Broward Workforce Development Board. He also served as a member of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Re-Open Florida Task Force in 2020.

Born and raised in Norwich, Connecticut, he attended high school at Norwich Free Academy. At Boston University, he majored in political science and graduated cum laude and with distinction in 1975. He received a Juris Doctorate in 1979 from Stetson University School of Law.

Mayor Trantalis was admitted to the Connecticut and Florida Bar Associations in 1980 and has practiced law in Broward County since 1982. He maintains a successful general law practice in Broward County with some emphasis in the areas of real estate, probate, estate planning, bankruptcy, and corporate matters.

His long track record of public service in our community began with his involvement in the fight for equality. As mayor, he is committed to improvements to the city’s infrastructure, responsible growth, increased fiscal responsibility in city government and the maintenance of the great quality of life in our neighborhoods.

Recognized for his leadership in our community, Mayor Trantalis has received multiple awards and honors.

He was an inaugural honoree of the Diversity Honors awards presented by the Harvey Milk Foundation in 2015 and was presented with its lifetime achievement award in spring 2018.
