PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Michelle Oyola McGovern has been endorsed by Former Wellington Mayor Kathy Foster. Foster is encouraging voters to vote for Michelle Oyola McGovern in the upcoming election for Palm Beach County Commission, District 6. The Village of Wellington is the largest municipality within County Commission District 6.
“Like Michelle, I was a full-time working mom, a busy volunteer and ready to take the next step in my commitment to serving my community when I first ran for office. As a mom, business professional, long-time community volunteer and the face of Senator Bill Nelson's office for many years, Michelle has unique knowledge of District 6 – our needs and our concerns. I know Michelle will use her voice and experience as the best County Commissioner for all of us. For example, as Vice-Chair of Wellington's Education Committee, Michelle realized that the lowest performing students in our schools needed a little extra help. Michelle took the lead and worked with the Village to create the“Keely Spinelli Grants” which award every public school in Wellington a grant to help those students get that extra help. Those one-of-a-kind Grants are one of the reasons why our Wellington schools are some of the best in the county, AND why our property values remain high. It's that kind of vision, drive for results, and leadership we need on the County Commission right now. I'm voting for Michelle McGovern. I hope you will too,” stated Wellington's Founding Mayor, Kathy Foster.

Michelle worked in these public advocacy roles with Senator Nelson for 18 years.
Michelle now serves as the Director of Government and Community Relations for a major healthcare system. She focuses on creating, guiding, and promoting positive relationships. Her work to help local leaders and the community navigate important health and medical issues over the last two years has provided Michelle with essential experience that will prove critical as our county deals with the impacts of COVID-19 and other issues.

Michelle is a proud mom to two daughters and wife to John, Councilman for the Village of Wellington. Michelle comes from a large Puerto Rican family; she is the oldest of four sisters. A trailblazer in her own way, Michelle was the first in her family to attend college.
