A retired Clearwater business owner, Englebert, 75, has lived in Dunedin since the mid 1950s. He was elected to the commission in 1968 and served until 1978, when he won the first of his two terms as mayor. Englebert was re-elected to the commission in 1999. He is credited with encouraging the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team to locate its spring training headquarters in Dunedin. He and his wife, Sadie, have three children and four grandchildren.

"I have the experience, the knowledge and a love for the city and the vision of what needs to be done," Englebert said.

Robert Hackworth

Co-owner of a Clearwater publishing company, Hackworth, 46, moved to Dunedin in 1970 and graduated from Dunedin High. In 1984, he moved to Boulder, Colo., where he was a professional runner and cyclist and then owned a sports marketing firm. Hackworth moved back to Dunedin in 1995 and has dabbled in real estate and lobbied the City Commission to curtail excessive growth. He and his wife, Gwynne, have two children.

"I became concerned about the decisionmaking going on with the City (Commission)," Hackworth said. "I felt I could offer a new style of trustworthy leadership."

Deborah Kynes

She is known for her volunteer work and membership on various committees around Dunedin and Pinellas. She is also a member of the task force working toward the revitalization of the city's ailing Curlew Creek. Kynes and her husband, Allen, have two children.
