Mayor Michelle J. Gomez Tamarac Mayor Career

Heart & Hustle

I spent my first few years in Tamarac working for a busy non-profit. Four years later, I earned my way into law school while continuing my full-time job until I could enroll full-time. I attended law school in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and even summers so I could complete my studies in three years and graduate in May 2000.

Soon after, I was hired at the law firm of Saunders, Curtis, Ginestra & Gore, P.A. (SCGG), where I worked for nearly 10 years before taking over the firm in 2010. Presently, I continue my legal work at SCGG, handling real estate, estate planning and probate, civil litigation, and mediation. I am a licensed attorney in Florida, the District of Columbia, and New York.

A Dedication to Service


I've had the great honor of serving as Tamarac's Mayor since November 2018. From July 2010 to 2018, I served as Tamarac's District 2 Commissioner, including four terms as Vice Mayor.
