For Boca Raton City Council • Seat A
Michelle Grau
Michelle understands that Boca Raton’s quality of life and civic wellbeing is worth protecting, and residents deserve a real voice in shaping the future.
​
Many of us have felt brushed aside by local government, and with your support, Michelle will make sure residents are front and center in every decision.
Built in Boca
For 40 years, Boca Raton has been Michelle’s home, the place that shaped her life, her family, and her purpose. From her days at Pope John Paul II High School to beginning her studies at FAU, Boca has always been where her story began. After earning her accounting degree from FSU and gaining valuable experience with the Auditor General in Tallahassee, she returned to the city she loved to build her future.
​
Michelle and her husband worked hard to build both a business and a family, raising four children (two sets of twins) with the values of service, humility, and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard.
Leader with Integrity
With more than 30 years of experience as a Certified Public Accountant specializing in governmental accounting, auditing, and finance, Michelle brings unmatched expertise to City Hall.
​
Throughout her career, she has dedicated herself to ensuring that public funds are managed responsibly, transparently, and ethically.
Bound by strict professional and ethical standards of her CPA license, Michelle understands that honesty and accountability are non-negotiable, and that restoring public trust in local government begins with integrity at the top.
Commitment to Community
Michelle isn’t just involved, she’s invested. She’s spent years helping students, backing nonprofits, supporting families, and stepping in wherever the community needed her.
​
Her work comes from a genuine love for this community and a belief that Boca should be a great place for everyone. Over time, she’s become someone residents trust and turn to.
​
Michelle listens, shows up, and follows through even when no one’s watching. With your support, Michelle is ready to take that same heart-driven commitment to City Hall and keep working for the people of Boca Raton.
