In Needelman’s remarks, the 8 year former Florida House member cited his lifetime commitment to public service and strong support of his wife Joan and family his inspiration for serving in his new office. He told more than 100 onlookers, including many Clerk’s office employees, that he looked forward to working with his staff to continue to improve the way government served the people.

Following his oath of Office, Needelman hosted a reception at the Holiday Inn for clerk’s staff and other attendees of his inauguration, where he told them, “It’s a new day. That doesn’t mean that yesterday was bad, but that this new day is even better.”
“It’s like watching a sunrise over the river,” Needleman said. “The new day in front of us is about more than balancing the budget or serving our courts but about hope and about helping restore Brevard’s confidence in the office and all of the offices that serve them.”
Needelman officially started as the Brevard County Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts on January 1, 20011.
