Calabrese has told Boca Raton voters he has no involvement with Emgage. Emgage's own website lists him, by name and photo, as its endorsed candidate. Both can't be true.
Instead of answering for that, he has chosen to attack Commissioner Marci Woodward personally rather than debate her record. Woodward, a Boca Raton Republican, won the seat four years ago. She joined the Tri-Rail board, which she went on to chair, and the county's Metropolitan Planning Organization. She is running on that record.
That record includes standing with Israel. In 2024, Woodward was on the County Commission when it voted unanimously to raise the county's cap on Israel Bonds from 10% to 15%. The move made Palm Beach County the largest buyer of that debt in the world, after the October 7 Hamas attack.
Woodward's record: backing Israel. Calabrese's record: Emgage's endorsement.
Calabrese took an oath when he became a Navy officer. Someone who takes an oath shouldn't mislead the people he wants to serve, and shouldn't treat a woman in public office with contempt.
If this is how he treats people now, while he's asking for your vote, how will he treat you once he's in office?
