Jessica Namath
In every election, all the candidates always say the same thing: "I am the local candidate." So, how can voters look beyond savvy political communications to figure out who really stands for local interests? Look at the long term record. And look at the details.
In this election, which is a critical election for the village of Tequesta because of important looming development decisions, there is actually a real local candidate with a long record of actively promoting vital Tequesta interests. It's important that we as a village get this right. Jessica Namath is the local candidate in this election and we strongly encourage you to vote for Jessica. You can vote in person at the polling stations March 19, 2024 or you can request a mail in ballot to vote by mail: Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections.
Why you should vote for Jessica:
For years, she has been a selfless advocate for village interests in many different aspects of community life. She has a long and sustained record of public service and volunteering—at no personal benefit—to promote local and community interests that are otherwise often neglected.
For example, Jessica is a founding member of the Village's Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) and current Chair. She has served the Village in this volunteer capacity since 2019.
While on the EAC, Jessica has shown her dedication to preserving the Village she grew up in for future generations. All of her work has been directed to the good stewardship of the qualities of Tequesta that all residents appreciate. And while on the EAC Jessica has undertaken detailed studies of the key governing documents of the Village including the Village's Comprehensive Development Plan, Charter, and Code. She has also actively engaged important decisions on behalf of resident and village interests at Council meetings.
Jessica is a committed volunteer in our community, with a long track record of service. Some of her many past and present volunteer roles include:
Girl Scout Troop Leader in Tequesta.
Daughters of the American Revolution. Jessica chairs the Conservation Committee and the Native American Committee at the local chapter.
EAC outreach—Jessica is at every Friday Food Trucks manning the EAC’s tent, offering information to residents and rock painting for children! Read this article by Jessica on page 4 of the most recent edition of the Village's Smoke Signals: Smoke Signals Winter 2024.
Jessica has been actively engaged in school communities.
She is a strong supporter of local business. Jessica has a degree in business from the University of Alabama. She has a long record of vocal support for Tequesta businesses. For example: Jupiter Magazine.
She knows Tequesta.
Jessica has lived in the Village for over 35 years. She is committed to keeping it a small town, just like the Village’s mission statement says:
“We will preserve and enhance the unique character, community spirit, small town values, and superior quality of life for all who reside, visit, and work in the Village of Tequesta.”

Jessica will hit the ground running—working for you—as councilwoman. She has nearly 5 years of service as an EAC member, and has attended and actively participated in many Council meetings over the years. She knows the ropes and is ready to serve.
