The Record
Within days of taking office in November 2021, Commissioner King cast a vote in favor of the Miami Forever Carbon Neutral program, which committed the City of Miami to a pathway toward carbon neutrality by 2050. This vote helped formalize the city's climate action framework. While the 2050 goal is long-term and full achievement remains decades away, the legislative action to adopt the program was completed as promised.

Commissioner King sponsored the First Time Home Ownership Program aimed at helping District 5 residents achieve homeownership and build generational wealth.

These actions represent tangible steps toward addressing the affordable housing crisis, though the broader challenge of affordable and workforce housing availability in the district remains an ongoing effort with significant unmet need.

Gov. Record
City of Miami Commissioner King Official Profile · miamigov.com · 2022
The Record
Commissioner King has publicly stated her commitment to elderly and child community services as a priority area. While some of the $750,000 invested in District 5 programs likely included services targeting these populations, specific standalone programs or legislation dedicated exclusively to elderly and child services have not been prominently documented in public records. The effort remains an ongoing priority without a single definitive deliverable.
