Jerry Joseph

Jerry Joseph serves as the Seat 1 Commissioner for the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, a nonpartisan municipal office he first attained following a December 2022 runoff election victory over candidate Justyna "Jodi" Boczniewicz. He subsequently successfully defended his position, winning a consecutive full four-year term running through November 2028 after emerging victorious from the December 3, 2024 municipal runoff election. Prior to serving on the commission, Joseph built a successful career as an entrepreneur, founding Diversified Corporate Services Int'l, Inc. in 1986 and operating as a local business owner for roughly four decades. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Pre-Law from Long Island University. Joseph defeated a former mayoral-backed candidate in his initial runoff, cementing an independent political profile on the city's commission dais. He is a father of three daughters and has continually highlighted his deep corporate and small business background as a central anchor to his approach to municipal governance.
