West Palm Beach Commissioner Christina Lambert’s bid for Mayor just notched a nod from the political arm of an advocacy organization that has represented businesses in the region for more than a century.
Her campaign just announced an endorsement from the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches Leadership Committee.
Michael Zeff, President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches, said in an accompanying statement that Lambert “has demonstrated a clear commitment to supporting local businesses and building upon the momentum of success in West Palm Beach for everyone.”
“The Chamber Leadership PAC is proud to endorse her candidacy for Mayor, and we look forward to working together to ensure our city remains a great place to live, work, and build a business.”
The endorsement joins others Lambert carries including the person she hopes to succeed in 2027, Mayor Keith James, the West Palm Beach Firefighters Association, Fraternal Order of Police — West Palm Beach and Democratic Black Caucus of Palm Beach County.
She said she’s “grateful to have the support of the organization that represents our local business community.”
“As an executive who has worked in both the public and private sector, I know the importance of a strong, and diverse economic climate in our city,” Lambert added.
“I’m committed to continue the partnership with our local business community to ensure West Palm Beach is a welcoming place to open and grow a business, create jobs, and build a career.”
Lambert has served for seven years on the West Palm Beach Commission. She last won election in 2024 with 72% of the vote.
In private life, she works as Chief Administrative Officer for the law firm of Gordon & Partners.
So far, she has one opponent in the Mayor’s race: Palm Beach County Commissioner Gregg Weiss.
