Coral Springs, Florida – Jeff Adelman, a local attorney and candidate for the Coral Springs Commission, announced Monday that his campaign has raised over $50,000, signaling a strong financial start as the city looks ahead to the November 2026 election. The total includes a $24,000 loan Adelman provided to his own campaign, highlighting his personal commitment to the race.
“I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from my family, friends, and this community as a whole,” Adelman said. He added that he is “excited to see so many neighbors who share his vision for a city that is more affordable, safer, and more sensible about growth.”
The campaign’s momentum has been further bolstered by the endorsement of Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, a prominent local leader. “I am proud to endorse Jeff and look forward to working alongside him as we collaborate on solutions to make Coral Springs more affordable for all our families,” said Metayer Bowen.
Metayer Bowen’s support positions Adelman alongside a growing network of community figures backing his candidacy.

The endorsements span multiple levels of local government, signaling strong institutional backing.

Adelman’s early fundraising numbers and the breadth of endorsements suggest his campaign is aiming to create a broad coalition of voters and community leaders. Political analysts note that crossing the $50,000 mark early in a municipal election can provide significant advantages, including the ability to expand outreach and visibility across neighborhoods.
For residents of Coral Springs, the race for commission seats is expected to focus on long-term planning, infrastructure, and maintaining the city’s livability amid ongoing growth pressures. Adelman’s emphasis on affordability, safety, and sensible growth mirrors concerns many local voters have expressed in recent community meetings and public forums.
As the November election approaches, the campaign plans to continue its fundraising and community engagement efforts, aiming to secure additional endorsements and support from Coral Springs residents. With a strong early showing in both financial contributions and influential endorsements, Adelman appears poised to be a leading contender in the upcoming race.
