The Hispanic Vote PAC is endorsing Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony for another term.
“After conducting interviews, the impartial and diverse panel selected who we believe to be the most qualified candidate for the position,” read a statement from the Hispanic Vote Board of Directors announcing the decision. “Mr. Gregory Tony showed that he is supportive of the Hispanic community, and The Hispanic Vote supports his campaign for Sheriff of Broward County in 2024.”
The Hispanic Vote PAC aims to rally interest among the Hispanic community around the political process. The group’s site describes the organization as nonpartisan, with established chapters in Broward County and Southwest Florida. The group is also building up a chapter in Palm Beach.
Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Tony to lead the Broward Sheriff’s Office in 2019 after he suspended former Sheriff Scott Israel. Tony then won election to a full term in 2020, emerging from a six-person Democratic Primary that included Israel.
Now, he’s seeking a second full term.
“I am deeply honored to receive this endorsement from The Hispanic Vote PAC,” Tony said. “Our community thrives when everyone in it is informed and engaged. I am committed to ensuring that every voice is heard in this election and continuing our efforts to make our community safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all.”
The news of the Hispanic Vote PAC’s endorsement comes less than two weeks after the Broward County AFL-CIO backed Tony’s bid.
Tony is competing in the Democratic Primary this cycle against Steven Geller, formerly of the Plantation Police Department and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE); David Howard, ex-Chief of the Pembroke Park Police Department; and Al Pollock, a former Broward Sheriff’s Office colonel.
Independent candidate Charles Edward Whatley also qualified for the race. But the winner of the Democratic nomination on Aug. 20 in deep blue Broward County is almost sure to prevail in November.
Pollock also competed in that six-person field in 2020, where Tony narrowly beat out Israel for the Democratic nomination as he faced a series of controversies about his past. Tony easily won re-election in November of that year.
Controversy has continued to swirl around Tony, with the latest hurdle being the FDLE recommending that a Judge temporarily suspend Tony’s law enforcement certification.

Out of the 10-12 people that showed up 4 were from team Al Pollock. The others were candidates running for office and community based organizations. (Which we have the names of who was in attendance).
He whined about how now is not the time for new leadership in Broward because it will undo his sorry garbage legacy. Of course the narcissistic side kicked in and he glamorized about himself and that was it.
The guy is such a wannabe. He showed up and no one was there yet. Had a photographer, and BSO deputies acting like wannabe secret service. The guy is a lame duck for a sheriff. He took 1 question, about why he’s scared to debate and be around his challengers… he got mad like little Toney always does and stated how he’s light years ahead of everyone else and if you talk to him you need to have facts and the other candidates don’t deserve the honor to be in the room with him. And his lawyer has defended him successfully 11 times. And he said he would give his seat up to the previous incumbent. Scott Israel. WTH.
👏👏👏 clap you idiots of Broward. Because that’s the moron you have for a Sheriff. So before I leave. Let’s give little guy Toney some facts.
You haven’t been “successfully defended”. You’ve been found guilty by the state of Florida and an administrative judge of a 3rd degree. You’re afraid to face your fate. So baptise & Webster spend the money from your PAC to file for motion after motion (which are excuses) to delay the inevitable. Guilty. Plus you have 2 additional cases pending.
Light years ahead. The parking garage you call a training center was originally initiated under sheriff lamberti and signed off by Scott Israel. Whether you or Santa clause was here it was going to happen. You just so happen to walk into a freebie, make changes and what cost $32 million now cast $73 million from tax payers and the county is $10 million behind in payments. Fact.
Light years ahead… of who? A renegade lying habitual cop quits Coral Springs PD for being under investigation. Moves out of state to South Carolina & lies to the parkland families about being an expert in active shooter. Clung to Andrew pollock & after de sanctimonious has an immature meltdown he replaces selected judge fry for sheriff with you because Andrew pollock met you at a CrossFit gym. Fact.
Well… look at Andrew Pollock today. Legal issues of his own. Fact.
The owner of the office in west park couldn’t stand you so he kick you guys out. Pembroke park left. You lost CPIS. You lost coconut creek communications/dispatch service. Your troops are the lowest paid and hate you. Moral is worse than the turds in my toilet out of my butt. Women give birth in your jails. 22 people died in your jail. The most ever. The most ever employee suicides. Under you little emperor Toney. And the list continues. Oh yeah. You’re on the Brady list for being a true liar. Jeez can we stop now I’m bored already.
So… who are you light years ahead of. You can’t manage a budget. You can’t manage tax payers dollars. You can’t manage an agency. You’re not from here. Everything about you is a mystery. The fact is you don’t have Broward best interest. You don’t care. You don’t even wanna be here. So pack your stuff and go. Clearly you sir haven’t done your homework. God has raised up a champion horse in this who has the institutional knowledge, the experience, is not a DeSantis republican plant switch over, and is light years ahead of you. And guess what else God said. That champion ain’t you.
visit http://www.tonyunmasked.com for facts. lol 😂 ask tiny Toney why he turned the comments off on all the social media platforms. See this little guy is the guy who starts the crap and runs when it gets hot. Because he can’t stand the heat. He’s been running and lying his whole life folks. Look it up. Fake “Dr”. Where’s your dissertation sir, where? It ain’t there because you used tax payers dollars to buy your half butt honorary degree. Your story of lies is bigger P. Diddy. You Epstein level. And folks be don’t care. He has no family here. No friends. No ties to here. He’s waiting to pack up the 2 shirts pair of jeans and boots he has and take his scam to the next location. He don’t own clothes that’s why he needs the uniform to feel important. Little guy syndrome. And the truth is. The “Dr” title is for when the state takes away his certification. His ego needs a title.
Broward will finish the story and be done with you once and for all. Folks do your research on the candidates. Honesty, proven leadership, integrity, accountability. A military veteran, a husband, a father, a community man who’s been married for over 40 years and in this community the same time. My household is voting for that guy Al Pollock because he can bring affective change to public safety day 1. We screwed up last time Broward. I’ll admit. But my neighbors and I won’t this time.

And that’s 3rd degree felony he’s been found guilty of. Face your fate Tony Toney Tone stop being a coward and be a little big man.
Can’t even acknowledge that your own Deputy died. Wow you’re a turd. That was a funny website. My neighbor told me about that unmasked. All you gotta do is google the guy and it all pops up. But he hopes people are stupid again.
