Burgos has lived in Wilton Manors since 2012. The 2026 race is his first run for office. He is an executive director at Florida International University, where he oversees roughly 70 staff and a $20 million annual budget, after more than 30 years in higher education. He previously worked as an aide to U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, holds an MPA from Columbia University, and has served on the boards of Funding Arts Broward, Island City Stage and Lambda Legal.
He has campaigned on housing affordability and smart growth, hiring a dedicated business development professional for the city, cutting red tape in the development process, developing underused parcels on Wilton Drive, Dixie Highway and Andrews Avenue, and holding building heights to roughly six stories based on resident input.
In his words: “I’m concerned about the number of projects and buildings that haven’t gone up. I think there’s something wrong with the process.”

Where this comes from
Everything above is drawn from the public sources cited in the text. We have not put our own questions to the candidates. Nothing above is a characterization of Angel Burgos's views by us.
We do not endorse candidates. If we put questions to the candidates, every candidate in this race will get the same questions and the same space, and their answers will run in their own words. Something here wrong?Tell us and we will fix it.
Correction, October 4, 2026: An earlier version of this page said we had sent the same questions to every candidate and were waiting for a reply. We had not sent them. That statement has been removed, as have mentions of the questionnaire in the profiles of Scott Newton and Jerry Fisichelli.
