Kalra emigrated from India to the United States about 20 years ago and worked for Cummins in Minnesota and Indiana before moving to Wilton Manors five years ago. He has a background in non-profit and professional management. The 2026 race is his first run for office.
He has campaigned on reforming code enforcement so that it educates before it fines, balancing new development against community character, and putting stalled development projects on clear timelines. His interest in code enforcement grew out of his own citations, over air conditioning unit screening and unpermitted window shutters, both eventually resolved.
In his words: “It was always the feeling inside me that I need to fix something if something is broken.”
No campaign website or social account was found.

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 Manish Kalra'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.
