Dear District 5 Constituents:
Welcome to the District 5 Website. First and foremost, I
would like to thank you for allowing me to be your
voice, entrusting me with the future of your
neighborhoods. I am here not because I had political
aspirations, but because I was saddened by the
conditions in my neighborhood. I come to city government
with a renewed hope for the future of District 5, a hope
that is seeded in your wants and needs for change.
Since becoming elected, I have worked tirelessly to set
the wheels into motion to help you reclaim and transform
our long neglected neighborhoods into the best place to
live, work and play. This is my mission…our mission.
Accountability and accessibility are the heart of my
administration.
I envision District 5 as vibrant communities with small
and big business prosperity, residents working and in
affordable homes of their own.
As your city commissioner, I am committed to making all
neighborhoods share in this rebirth. I cannot do this
alone, I need your help. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
once said, “There is nothing more dangerous than to
build a society with a large segment of people in that
society that feel that they have nothing to lose.
People, who have stake in that society, protect that
society, but when they don’t have it, they unconsciously
want to destroy it.” Today is a new day, a day that
begins with a renewed hope, an energy fueled by our
desire to take charge of what is rightfully ours, our
communities. I will lead the charge, and together we
will make District 5 an awesome place.
As stakeholders in our future, we vow to change our
quality of life by becoming active participants. We have
a long road ahead, and there will be bumps in the road
along the way, but together we can reach our goal of
becoming the best place in the City of Miami to live,
work and play.
During the state of the District Address I presented to
you my plan to make this all happen, a four year plan,
which was driven by your input. It’s the road map to our
future, a future filled with economic development, real
affordable housing, viable small businesses, support for
seniors, help for the homeless, empowering youth and
strategies to combat crime. I vow with your help to
bring a better quality of life to you and your families.
This is just the beginning and I will look to you for
direction in the future. Let’s all start by taking pride
in District 5! Today is a new day in District 5.
Sincerely,
Michelle Spence-Jones
Commissioner City of Miami, District 5 |
