District 6 Commissioner Sara Baxter was born at Good Samaritan Hospital and is a second-generation local. She is happily married to Brian and a proud mother of three boys, Sara has always found her heart anchored in her faith. She now resides with her family in the Acreage.
In her early career, Sara worked as a Certified Retinal Angiographer at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. However, a new path opened up in 2011 when she and her husband, a BMW Master Technician, started an auto repair business. As she nurtured the growth of their business, Sara also pursued higher education, she graduated from Palm Beach State College with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. After more than a decade of dedication and hard work, the couple was able to purchase their own building and operates a successful business known as Foreign Auto Specialists.
The difficult process of establishing their business inspired Sara to run for office. Determined to streamline county procedures for other entrepreneurs, she also committed herself to actively support small businesses. She firmly believes that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and nurturing an environment that promotes their growth is essential for Palm Beach County's future.
Since her tenure as a Commissioner, Sara has channeled her efforts into reducing red tape that stops people from realizing their full potential. She has actively worked on eliminating unnecessary regulations, staunchly supporting our law enforcement officers, enhancing road conditions, and fixing traffic issues in western Palm Beach County. As a small business owner herself, Sara prioritizes empowering her community members with the tools they need to succeed. She's committed to fostering an environment that encourages personal and economic growth, making Palm Beach County a place where everyone can thrive.
