Lawrence J. Kelly Sr.[3][4] (born c. 1935) is an American former politician and logistics engineer. He served as the mayor of Daytona Beach, Florida, for 12 consecutive terms from 1974 to 1993. He was instrumental with getting MTV to showcase Spring Break in Daytona Beach during 1986–1993, although he later lamented it was a mistake because locals experienced many problems due to it.
