Mayor

Mayor Diezel Depew was elected on November 8, 2022 and made history as the youngest elected official in the State of Florida’s history.  Mayor Depew is a native, born and raised in Edgewater.  He has always had a love and passion for our community as well as a love and passion for politics.  He recalls people proclaiming when he was as young as two years old that he would grow up to be President of the United States.  At the age of 12 years old, Mayor Depew created a lawn and landscaping business.  When all of his lawn equipment was stolen, the community members came forward to donate the lawn equipment he needed to get back on his feet and to continue to grow his business.  He pledged right then and there to repay the community’s support when the opportunity arose by becoming a leader for the people of Edgewater to represent their voices.  Mayor Depew was Class President at New Smyrna Beach High School, class of 2022.  He graduated with honors and is now currently enrolled in college, pursuing a degree in political science with a major in public administration.
