Candidate Nicole Morst and North Lauderdale Mayor Samson Borgelin.

Broward County School Board candidate Nicole Morst announced the endorsement of North Lauderdale Mayor Samson Borgelin on Thursday, adding to a growing list of local leaders supporting her campaign in District 4.

“Nicole Morst understands what our students, families, and schools need because she’s been deeply involved at every level,” Borgelin said. “She will be a strong, thoughtful voice for all communities across this district, and I’m proud to support her.”

Morst, a District 4 parent and chair of the North Area Advisory Council, has worked with families and schools throughout Broward County as a longtime public school advocate.

“I’m incredibly grateful to Mayor Borgelin for his support,” Morst said. “This campaign is about making sure every community in District 4 feels heard and represented, and that our schools are safe, strong, and focused on student success.”

Borgelin’s endorsement adds to a list of supporters that includes Broward County School Board Vice Chair Dr. Jeff Holness, Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, Coral Springs Commissioners Joe McHugh and Josh Simmons, and Margate Vice Mayor Anthony Caggiano.

“Nicole Morst understands our schools because she’s done the work,” Holness said. “She has served on school and district advisory councils, worked alongside educators and families, and advocated for meaningful improvements. She brings thoughtful, experienced leadership.”

The campaign recently held a kickoff event that drew a crowd of supporters and elected officials from across the district. Among those in attendance were School Board Members Debbi Hixon and Holness, Coral Springs Mayor Scott Brook, Commissioners Shawn Cerra and Simmons, and Margate Commissioner Arlene Schwartz.

Morst said her campaign is focused on school safety, supporting teachers, improving communication with families, and ensuring neighborhood schools across District 4 receive adequate resources.

Also running for the seat currently held by Lori Alhadeff, who is not running again, is Sharry Kimmel.

The election for Broward County School Board District 4 is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2026.
