Mitchell Ceasar Attorney and Politician Mitchell Ceasar Attorney and Politician Over the years, Kingsborough Community College has had many students graduate and go on to pursue their careers at other schools. Mitchell Ceasar graduated from KCC in 1973, and since graduating he has become very successful. Ceasar now owns his own law firm out in Plantation, Florida, and he is also involved with politics. But before all of this, in 1971 Ceasar was a young man who lived in the Mill Basin area in Brooklyn. That summer he had just graduated from James Madison High School, and he was ready to pursue further education in college. Ceasar had applied to numerous colleges such as Queens College and other four-year institutions, but he felt that KCC was a better fit for him at the moment. “I felt that going to KCC would give me a better basis. I thought educationally, I was a late bloomer, and therefore it would allow me the window to kind of come into my own, and better prepare me for a SUNY university and for law school,” said Ceasar. Ceasar was history major at KCC and he also minored in political science. His first year here went very smoothly, but it did take him some time to adjust. He did his school work, and school work only during his first semester. When his second semester came along Ceasar became more involved with the schools activities like the school newspaper, Scepter. “Because it was a new place I found it quiet intimidating to go to college from high school. Once I took the step to getting more involved with the school, everything else came a lot easier. It took me a little while to do so. I was reluctant at the beginning,” said Ceasar. During Ceasar’s second semester here, he joined the Scepter staff and wrote articles for the school newspaper. After a little experience on the staff Ceasar was promoted to the editor-in- chief position. Before Ceasar became editor, Scepter never received any significant awards for its writing. After he became editor, the newspaper had received Associated Collegiate Press recognitions. Ceasar felt very accomplished, and he feels he gained a lot from his experience being on Scepter. “Being on Scepter and becoming the editor was a valuable experience for me, because that taught me greater discipline, and provided me a better opportunity to learn how to write, which I thought I knew, but I didn’t. Being the editor proved to be an incredible tool and aid in my success in law and politics. It provided me an entrée to the real world,” he said. Besides Scepter, Ceasar felt the school itself had much to give, and he wanted to grab every bit of experience he could. Ceasar felt that KCC was a nurturing educational atmosphere that prepared him for everything that was to come. “The professors where very open, very accessible to questions during and after class. I found it to be a very family like nurturing atmosphere which is very different than you would feel in most schools,” said Ceasar. Ceasar recalls some of his memories at KCC as very fun, and rewarding. Winning journalism awards for Scepter was one of his best memories. He also enjoyed his time delivering the school newspaper around campus. During that time, Ceasar was given a privilege students today can’t and shouldn’t be able to have. Ceasar was allowed to use a golf cart just to deliver the newspaper quickly around campus. Ceasar and an old friend of his would deliver them quickly with time to spare. With the extra twenty to thirty minutes they had left, they would drive around campus having fun, and saying hi to friends in an effort to make them jealous. Although Ceasar had a lot of fun during his time at KCC he never forgets the things he learned about himself while attending here. Everything he learned helped him get to where he is now. “I learned to be more self-reliant. I learned to be more of a believer in myself. After I left KCC, I believed that community college had more value as any four-year institution. If I attended a four-year university, I’m not convinced that I would have had the same experience. I don’t think a four-year university would have given me as much positive value that I ended up getting at KCC,” said Ceasar. Ceasar also learned critical thinking, leadership abilities, and how to become a better writer form his time with Scepter. Being a history major and being part of Scepter prepared Ceasar for what was to come. He began dealing with a lot of media, which went easy because of his experience writing for a newspaper in college and being the editor-in-chief. His commentaries went well using historical references, which he gives credit to his background as a history major through 4 years of college. After graduating from KCC in 1973, Ceasar continued to pursue history when he moved to Florida and attended Florida Atlantic University, where he was a top student. His accomplishments didn’t stop there. At Florida Atlantic, Ceasar continued to get involved with the newspaper. He joined the Atlantic Sun staff, and eventually became the managing editor of the student newspaper. During his time as editor, the newspaper gained All-American and First Class rankings. Ceasar graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 1975 with his bachelor’s degree in history. Ceasar didn’t pursue history further more. He decided to get into law and get involved with politics. “I’ve always loved history. It sort of tided into current events, so having a sense of history helped me as the editor and chief of Scepter and the Atlantic Sun. I originally intention was to be a history professor at the college level. Then after the Florida move came about, my plans evolved, and I decided to go to law school. My success at KCC gave me the confidence to pursue other worlds I might not have considered, like law school. I give KCC full credit for that,” he said. After receiving his bachelor’s in history, Ceasar went to Nova University Law School and began to pursue law. He graduated from Nova in 1975 and received his Doctorate. Ever since, Ceasar continued to get involved with politics and he went into law professionally. Ceasar put himself through four years of college, and law school. He took two student loans and paid it back seven years after graduating from law school. Ceasar then interned in a Public Defenders office, and eventually got offers from big law firms but he turned them down, and he doesn’t regret doing so. Ceasar had started on his own, the Law Offices of Mitchell Ceasar, P.A. He started this law firm in Plantation, Florida, but resides in Broward County, which are both close to each other. Ceasar first big client was Robert “Woody” Johnson who was the owner of a cable company Ceasar helped. Woody Johnson is now the owner of the New York Jets, and part of the Johnson and Johnson family. Ceasar’s law firms’ specialty is lobbying. He’s represented builders, health companies, and cable companies in the ‘80s. He’s also received honors like the Sheppard Broad Law Center Hall of Fame, and many more. During his success in law, he was slowly getting into politics as well. Ceasar was the Vice Chairman of the Democratic Convention in 2000. He is a Rules Committee Member, and Executive Board Member on the Democratic national Convention. He was also the Chairman of the Florida Democratic Party, Broward Democratic Executive Committee, and founder and president of the Tamarac Democratic Club. Not to mention he was one of the final 28 delegates who provided President Barack Obama with his historic democratic nomination. He has honors and recognitions like, the 2002 Golden Gavel Award for Outstanding Chair by Florida Democratic Party, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, among others. From a young man living in Brooklyn attending to community college, to a major politician and his own law firm in Florida, Caesar has come a long way. “Some days it’s real and some days it isn’t. I’ve been through some things I’ve never thought I would have been. The presidential recount of 2000 began on my signature and research. I flew on an Air Force One jet with President Clinton. I was a guest at Adam Sandler’s wedding in Hollywood seven years ago. I’ve been mentioned in books about the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida with Al Gore. I’ve had a lot of interesting life experiences,” said Ceasar. A lot of this success Ceasar credits to his experience in KCC. There isn’t a thing he would have changed about his time here at KCC. When talking to people one on one in his travels politically around the country he tells people his KCC story, and how influential it was on his life. Ceasar hasn’t had much time to come back to KCC, because he is very busy and lives out in Florida. But he does wish he can come back to try to give back to the school that gave him so much. “If the school wanted me to go there, I definitely would to visit, and to lecture to the students about the real value of KCC and the fact that going to a community college doesn’t make you a second class student. It isn’t a negative; it’s what you make out if it.

  • Waltz Florida Dems PPP Letter (/Uploadedfiles/Waltzsba FDP PPP)
    October 8, 2020 The Honorable Hannibal “Mike” Ware Inspector General U.S. Small Business Administration 409 3rd Street SW Washington, D.C. 20416 Dear Inspector General Ware: The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. Congress intended the program to provide relief to America’s small businesses quickly, and demand for the program was extraordinary: PPP lenders approved more than 1.6 million loans totaling more than $342 billion in the program’s first two weeks, according to your office.1 The Small Business Administration subsequently released data that shows a political organization may have taken advantage of the program’s expedited nature to obtain funds for which they were ineligible. Specifically, the data show a Democrat-affiliated political organization in Florida applied for and received PPP funds, contrary to the intent of Congress that the program should support small businesses, non-profits, veterans’ organizations, and tribal concerns. The Small Business Administration issued regulations that specifically prohibit “businesses primarily engaged in political or lobbying activities” from receiving PPP loans.2 Despite this restriction, the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) applied for and received a PPP loan worth $780,000.3 The details of the FDP loan application raise serious questions as to whether the applicant intentionally misled the Small Business Administration in order to obtain PPP funds. FDP filed its application under the identity of a non-profit organization called the “Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc.” The Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Florida Democratic Party, but Florida state records show the party formed the not-for-profit corporation in April of 2019 to construct, own or operate “the headquarters of the state executive committee of the Florida Democratic Party and related political organizations.”4 Documents show the Florida Democratic Party Building Fund, Inc.

  • Florida Democratic Party Reception, March 1, 1968
    NOTES VICE PRES I DENT HUBERT HUMPHREY FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY RECEPTION 5th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CAPE KENNEDY, FLORIDA MARCH I, 1968 Fellow Democrats, another year of challenge is upon us -­ leap year. Those reticent Republicans who have waited so long in vain to be courted are themselves out courting now. The proposal itself, of course, is the same as ever: 11Go slow." "Stand pat. .. "Enough for now.,. -2- ''Time for a pause. " Now tell me -- who ever courted successfully with a proposal like that? They also have the small problem of their public record. They say they're for health -- but they voted 93 ~r cent against Medicare in the House of Representatives. Education? Oh yes. But three quarters of their Congressmen voted against the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1965. Cities? They want to improve them -- but 88 per cent voted against Model Cities in the House. I don't think the American people can be wooed and won by that Coalition of Retreat in 1968. The issues before us are too important. .. the challenges too great. the need for progressive leadership too urgent. •. to risk retreat. -3- The issues are these: Are we prepared to press on toward the two fundamental necessities of our time -- nationa I security and nationa I development, both at home and abroad ••• or do we intend to turn back from those responsibilities? Does this rich country mean to lick slumism? Or do we mean to turn back hopes now aroused in the hearts of families and young people across this country? Are we ready to guarantee full and equal opportunity for every American in fact as well as in law? Or will we renege on a promise as old as our nation? Wi II we extend the fu II and equitable protection of the law to every citizen of every neighborhood? Or is this country going to settle into a slough of random violence and repression? -4- Are we going to press ahead with the scientific and technical achievements that mean national strength and greatness in the modern world? Or are we going to timidly accept second class status for America? John F.

  • – Holly Shulman, DNC National Press Secretary
    April 3, 2015 DNC Response to GOP 2016ers on Right to Discriminate Bill “Despite opposition from the business community nationwide and the majority of Americans who believe a business should not be able to refuse services to individuals because they are gay or lesbian, this week both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio doubled down in support of this damaging law that seeks to undo the progress we have made for LGBT equality – and Scott Walker even suggested he was open to passing a similar law in Wisconsin. This just confirms what we already know about these three Republican presidential hopefuls, and is the most recent reminder that Republicans are focused on one thing – pursuing an out of touch agenda at the expense of everything and everyone else. And it’s not just Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker zeroing in on an extreme agenda. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have also voiced support for similar policies that could give businesses the right to refuse services to LGBT people. While Democrats are working to move the country forward and create an inclusive society, Republicans like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are stuck in the past and want to move the country backwards.“ – Holly Shulman, DNC national press secretary Jeb Bush on Hugh Hewitt this week: “Governor Pence has done the right thing.” Listen here. Marco Rubio on Fox News: “Should someone who provides a professional service be punished by the law because they refuse to provide that professional service to a ceremony that they believe is in violation of their faith?” Watch here.
