Coral Springs Mayor Walter “Skip” Campbell has died, it was reported late Tuesday. He was 69.
Campbell was a state senator from 1996 to 2006.
He became mayor of Coral Springs in November 2014, and was re-elected in November 2016. Campbell lived in the city for 36 years.
In a statement Wednesday morning, South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Campbell a “giant” of justice and public service
“He was my seat mate in the Florida Senate and was quick-witted, fun-loving, and always ready to reach across the aisle or bridge a divide to solve problems,” Wasserman Schultz said.
Tuesday night, Andrew Gillum, the Democratic candidate for Florida governor, said: “Sending my condolences tonight to the family of Coral Springs Mayor and former Senator Skip Campbell, a statesman in the Sunshine State.”
Former Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler said: “Skip was a great public servant, lawyer, leader, mentor, and role model to many. Skip was truly special, and his passing is a tremendous loss to our community and the State. May God bless Skip and his family.”
