THE PROMISE THAt WAS KEPT

Wayne has delivered on his promise to make Miramar a nationally recognized city that we all can be proud of.

In 2015, when first elected, Miramar was a growing city without an identity but full of potential. Wayne Promised to make Miramar's economy one of the best, creating high paying jobs, upgrade our city's infrastructure, parks and facilities, add more housing options and to make Miramar a cultural and entertainment destination.

Since making those bold goals, Wayne has kept his Promise. Miramar is now a nationally recognized All-America City and a Smart50 City, ranked best in the nation for the economic well-being of African American and Hispanic families. Wayne broke ground on Miramar Cove with the Ansin Family, a $1.5 billion development transforming Town Center and all of Southwest Broward with new jobs, dining, entertainment and recreation space.

He led the fight against Miami-Dade County's incinerator threat and won, protecting our air, our health and our property values. And the Eastside of Miramar has received over $180 million in beautification, canal stabilization, a new water treatment plant and flood prevention improvements.

That record of delivering has earned Wayne respect well beyond Miramar. He serves as President of the Florida League of Mayors and Vice President of the African American Mayors Association, carrying Miramar's voice and Miramar's model to tables across the state and the nation.

None of it happens alone. Wayne's wife and business partner, Angela, has stood beside him every step of the way, and it's her partnership that allows him to serve this community the way he does. 

Wayne is running for re-election as Mayor of Miramar because we have accomplished so much as a city, and he knows there is even more we can achieve together. His next mission is the renaissance of historic Miramar and the 441 Corridor, growing the next generation of Miramar businesses, and building the workforce and affordable housing our families need to rent and to own. When we are done, the foundation for Miramar's continued prosperity will be set for decades to come.

ABOUT WAYNE

Most people didn't believe that a son of a migrant Jamaican sugarcane cutter from a small rural town off the shores of Lake Okeechobee, South Bay, Florida, would grow up to be a star National Championship Wide Receiver for Florida State University or a successful, environmentally conscious general contractor leading one of Florida's leading minority owned construction management firms. And many did not believe that same kid would defeat the odds and become the mayor of Florida's 13th largest city. But over three terms, we proved that when you combine Vision with the desires of an engaged community, anything is possible.

Wayne M. Messam is a proud husband and father. Married to Angela Messam for 28 years, Miramar has been there home since 2000. Professionally, Wayne
