So it was natural for him to make the leap from pastor at the 300 member Praise Experience Church in North Lauderdale to candidate for public office in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamarac.org\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Tamarac<\/span><\/a>, going door to door and introducing himself to more than 9,000 registered voters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton, who is running for Tamarac city commissioner for District 1, is the youngest person to throw his hat in the ring for the position.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tamarac <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">located in western Broward County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is competing against incumbent Pamela Bushnell, 74, who has held the position for the past eight years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe people have expressed that they want a change,\u201d Bolton said. \u201cThey are grateful that somebody has stepped up to make that happen.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It&#8217;s a sigh of relief and a breath of fresh air to have somebody running and challenging the incumbent. Some of them feel that she&#8217;s not representing them&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really believe that now is the time for me to run.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton said the issues facing his district include a deep socioeconomic divide, blight and lack of city services for children and families in the lower income, racially diverse east side. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lacking a public bus system, a library, a community center and a clinic, Bolton said his district is far less developed than the west side, which covers Districts 3 and 4 and has all of these services in addition to parks, restaurants and the only fire station. It is for this reason, Bolton said, that District 1 residents feel neglected. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful that a young minority male wants to get engaged in public office and serve his community. We need varied representation,\u201d said Samantha Carlo, a professor at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/mdcs-school-of-justice-graduates-18-students\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">School of Justice<\/span><\/a> at North Campus and Bolton\u2019s former instructor. \u201cWhen young people see someone that looks like them doing good and trying to make change, it motivates them or at least gets them to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reflect on what their potential is.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton earned an associate\u2019s degree in mass communications from MDC in 2013 and is currently pursuing a bachelor\u2019s in public safety management with a criminal justice concentration at North Campus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He is married and has a one-year-old son. Originally from Jamaica, he officially moved to the U.S. in 2007 and became a naturalized American citizen in 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On his campaign website, Bolton describes himself as a business owner in Tamarac. His LinkedIn profile says he is the owner of Forecast Holdings, LLC. with a description of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing, advertising, new business and church administration compliance consultant. It also says as pastor of the Praise Experience Church he \u201cmentors a following of thousands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton owned a modeling company from 2003 to 2010. He has two blogspot websites that feature images of nearly nude male and female models with Miami Beach addresses\u2014marlonbolton-no23 and marlonbolton-frontsteam\u2014 that list Bolton as a model booker. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn my past life, and at the time it was very lucrative,\u201d Bolton said. \u201cMy convictions at that time were not religious. They have changed.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still with a show business flair, Bolton has posted videos and singles on YouTube and iTunes of him singing in the praise style for his church and other groups. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bolton said he plans to address the issues in the Tamarac community by improving the current bus system so that it goes past State Road 7, creating a youth empowerment program focused on academics, athletics, and counseling and a clinic for senior citizens and pregnant women, as well as beautifying the district by planting trees and repairing houses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has higher political aspirations. Bolton hopes to run for a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> state representative office in District 95.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor anyone who wants to do something like this, learn about what the opportunity entails, the hard work it takes,\u201d said Mike Gelin, a campaign contributor who ran for Tamarac mayor in 2014. \u201cAnd the hard work is really meeting the community, going door to door to the voters and find out what the issues are directly from them. There\u2019s no special educational requirement; it\u2019s all about public service, and we need regular people to serve in these roles because if they don\u2019t, lobbyists and other different interests will control our community instead of people who live there every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serving the community is something Marlon Bolton, 31, a criminal justice major at North Campus is drawn to.
