Metayer issued a press release Monday announcing the move. She’s bidding to replace Mayor Skip Campbell, who passed away in October at the age of 69.

“I am humbled to join the race for Mayor of Coral Springs, a place I’ve been proud to call my home for over 25 years,” Metayer said. “I’m encouraged by the outpouring of support from my family, friends, colleagues and fellow residents.”

Metayer, who has also worked as a community organizer and environmental activist, becomes the first candidate to qualify for the election, according to the Coral Springs City Clerk’s office.

Three other candidates have filed initial paperwork to open a campaign account. The qualifying period ends at noon Wednesday.
