THE ELECTORATE
THE IDEA OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
WORKING hand-in-hand with
neighborhood non-profits toward
a shared goal may at first seem
implausible to the average person. It
may even be met with an eye roll or
two. However, in Robert and Pamela
Weinroth’s case, the relationship
between politics and philanthropy
is far closer than most Palm Beach
County residents might realize. For
the better part of a decade, the two
have combined their principles,
networks, and lives in the pursuit
of tangible change for citizens of all
income levels and privilege.
Originally hailing from Long Island,
NY., Robert left his former Wall
Street gig for Boca Raton’s more
temperate climate years ago—his
Florida Bar license in tow. Almost
immediately, he found himself
active in politically-adjacent
causes and lobbying efforts
from Tallahassee to Washington
D.C. Before long, the realization
came: not only could he do what
the elected officials in his orbit
seemed to be doing; he could affect
meaningful change even better.
His opportunity to prove himself
arrived in 2014—a year in which
an unprecedented number of
local Council seats became open.
Winning one of them kicked-
off a 4-year term, during which
he became an integral part in a
transformative period of the city’s
history. Key redevelopments and
build-outs helped shape a new,
more vibrant Boca Raton. His vision
met, Robert set his sights further,
being elected and acting as Mayor of
Palm Beach County since 2018.
