Joy Adams

Joy Adams serves as the Commissioner for Seat 2 on the Hallandale Beach City Commission, a nonpartisan municipal office she attained through election on November 8, 2022, by securing 56.5% of the vote in a three-way race against Qunea Gordon and Greg Waters. This tenure follows her notable entry into local governance in November 2018, when she scored a major political upset by defeating veteran incumbent Keith London to be elected Mayor of Hallandale Beach, serving until a previous officeholder's legal reinstatement in December 2019. Outside of public service, Adams is a business owner who has operated her own residential and commercial cleaning service for decades. Her educational background includes specialized training in bookkeeping and accounting. On the five-member commission, she focuses her platform on business development, community safety, and fiscal transparency. Her current term is set to expire ahead of the November 3, 2026 municipal general election cycle, where she has opened a campaign account to run for re-election to her Seat 2 position.

The City Commissioner is a member of the Hallandale Beach City Commission, the legislative governing body of this municipal government in Broward County, Florida. Commissioners are responsible for setting city policy, adopting the municipal budget, enacting local ordinances, and providing oversight of city operations and services.
