“Today I rise to celebrate a remarkable son of the Bronx, Mr. Clinton A. Myke. Born and raised here in Community Board 12, educated in our neighborhood schools, and now raising his own family in the same street he loves, Clinton is a Bronxite in every sense of the word. For 25 years he served with honor and distinction in the Department of Correction, rising to the rank of captain through sheer integrity, discipline, and unwavering commitment to public service. But retirement never dimmed his passion. Instead, he turned his energy toward his community, joining Bronx Community Board 12 and devoting the past decade to making it better. Today, as proud chair of that board, he amplifies local voices, strengthens participation, and fights every day so that our neighborhoods thrive. Clinton Myke embodies selfless leadership. Because of him, the Bronx is stronger, more connected, and more hopeful. It is my honor to recognize this true public servant. I thank Clinton, and may he continue to lead us forward.”
