<p class="p1"><span class="s1">An unlikely candidate continues to campaign for a seat on West Palm Beach’s City Commission, but he’s currently facing a number of serious issues from his constituents, including a long history of mismatched residency documents. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The most jarring finding is that of Sylvester’s complete disregard for mere city commission qualifications – perhaps a glimpse into the continual falsifications he is committed to.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The supposed West Palm Beach native, Sylvester, continues to tout his long-term residency in West Palm Beach. However reports illustrate a much different story &#8211; and one that has some voters questioning where Sylvester actually lives. </span></p>

</div>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">West Palm Beach municipal code requires candidates for office must live in the district they represent six months prior to the election. However, Sylvester’s records show he might be misleading voters.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">On Sylvester’s filing paperwork, he lists 118 Linda Lane as his place of residency. This home is not owned by him, but by a man, Robert Edwards, who lives in Colorado. City documents show Edwards paid the last water bill for 118 Linda Lane on October 3, 2019. Sylvester didn’t actually start paying the water bill at 118 Linda Lane until much later as he missed his first billing statement’s payment.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Additional records provided by the elections office show that Sylvester has actually been registered to vote and participating in elections in Lake Clarke Shores for years, another city in Palm Beach County. Sylvester was not a registered voter in West Palm Beach until just recently when he changed his registration at the last minute on October 1, 2019, less than 6 months ago. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">While records show Sylvester has only been registered to vote and paying bills in West Palm Beach for only five and a half months, he is running for office that requires at least six months of residency. </span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The question many are asking is, why should voters elect someone who is misleading the community about their residency and has been registered to vote in the city for less than six months. </span></p>
