As Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson nears the end of his final term, he penned a letter to the residents he’s served for more than 30 years.
The four-term, 57th mayor of Cleveland was first elected in 2005 when he defeated incumbent Jane Campbell.Thank you. I thank you for your support and belief in the success of our city. I thank you for working alongside me to leave Cleveland in a better place than we found it. For more than 30 years I have served the citizens of Cleveland, including 15 years as a member and president of City Council, then finally as your four-term mayor.
Together, we have worked to reimagine and transform our city’s schools with the Cleveland Plan and the Higher Education Compact; invested millions in Cleveland’s neighborhoods on streetscapes, new recreation facilities, and other capital improvements; and worked with the public sector to encourage more private development in Cleveland.
