Grace Fellowship's Top Off Event

This week, I joined Pastor Jeff and Gast Construction at Grace

Fellowship Church to celebrate the new installment on the church

campus. It was fantastic seeing West Palm Beach City Commissioner Joe

Peduzzi, and to fight for small businesses in Palm Beach County!

Commissioner Baxter attended the ribbon cutting for the re-opening of Shop Tropicals in West Lake Worth.

Congratulations to Darren and the team on their hard work to restore this beautiful facility.

Commissioner Baxter and the Leadership Glades class of 2024

Commissioner Baxter enjoyed spending time with this year’s Leadership Glades class to discuss the role of our County Commission in the Glades.
