Entrevista a Saunteel Jenkins en su campaña electoral por la alcaldía de Detroit

  • Annalise Frank / Axios Detroit
  • February 13, 2025

Esta historia fue publicada originalmente en inglés por Axios Detroit. La hemos publicado en español con autorización.

Original Story in English

Si gana las elecciones, Saunteel Jenkins la ex directora ejecutiva de una organización sin fines de lucro quiere centralizar su enfoque en el transporte público y la construcción de centros educativos en toda la ciudad.

Noticias: Esta es la segunda de nuestra serie de entrevistas que exploran las prioridades políticas de los candidatos a la alcaldía. La primera fue Mary Sheffield.

  • Todavía es prematuro en las elecciones para poder reemplazar al alcalde Mike Duggan, quien lleva tres mandatos. La carrera no partidista tiene sus primarias en agosto y las elecciones generales en noviembre.

Historia: Jenkins, que tiene título en trabajo social, fue directora ejecutiva de la organización The Heat and Warmth Fund, que brinda asistencia para el pago de facturas de servicios públicos. Por casi diez años trabajó en esa ONG, renunciando recientemente para concentrarse en las elecciones.

  • Anteriormente, estuvo en el consejo municipal de 2010 a 2014 y fue presidenta de 2013 a 2014.
  • Fue directora del programa de tratamiento residencial del refugio Mariners Inn.

Jenkins se reunió con Axios Detroit para hablar sobre los objetivos de la política, que según ella están enfocados en aumentar la calidad de vida de los residentes de todas las edades.

  • Primero está un enfoque holístico para el cuidado infantil y la educación – “desde la cuna hasta la universidad”, como ella lo expresó.

o Jenkins dice que el alcalde y el superintendente de las escuelas públicas de Detroit deberían reunirse y asociarse en proyectos con más regularidad.

o Ella quiere colocar una instalación educativa en cada distrito, para que actúe como un centro que brinde recursos comunitarios, cuidado infantil y educación.

o Se basarían en el campus Marygrove del noroeste, desde preescolar hasta postsecundario, una asociación entre la filantropía y las instituciones educativas que se ha convertido en un atractivo para que las familias se muden cerca.

  • Después, “es importante asegurarnos de que tengamos un sistema de transporte público integral y confiable” para mantener a las generaciones más jóvenes aquí, dice.

o Ella cree que finalmente es hora de que Metro Detroit coopere con éxito en las mejoras del transporte regional – utilizando fondos estatales y federales para pensar en grande, como potencialmente considerar una fusión entre el sistema de autobuses de Detroit y SMART.

o Jenkins opina que la QLine podría ser “transformadora” si se extendiera más arriba por Woodward Avenue, pero “desde Jefferson hasta West Grand Boulevard, no ofrece lo que necesitamos para la mayor parte de Detroit”.

  • En cuanto a la seguridad, quiere aumentar la vigilancia comunitaria, lo que podría incluir la reapertura de miniestaciones en los vecindarios para reconstruir la confianza.
  • En lo que respecta a la planificación y el desarrollo, Jenkins apunta a solidificar los planes maestros para cada distrito que creen caminos para facilitar los procesos de zonificación y se basen en el trabajo de planificación urbana en curso.

Un tema fundamental de su campaña por la alcaldía será las grandes empresas y la comunidad, equilibrando los diversos intereses y necesidades de quienes afectan y se ven afectados por el cambiante panorama de Detroit después de la quiebra. Jenkins dijo:

  • “Cuando hablas con los habitantes de Detroit, nadie está en contra del crecimiento. La diferencia entre si lo ven como crecimiento o gentrificación es si estuvieron involucrados o no”.
  • “Necesitamos empresas, no hay duda. No debería ser una cuestión de “o esto o aquello”. Debería ser bueno para todos. Lo que estamos pidiéndoles a las empresas es una ciudadanía corporativa responsable… Pero también, si se piden incentivos para los contribuyentes… entonces los residentes deberían recibir algo a cambio”.

En resumen: Cuando se le preguntó sobre una cualidad que aporta y que la hace única entre los demás candidatos, Jenkins dijo:

  • “Más de una década de experiencia como directora ejecutiva marca una gran diferencia cuando compites por un puesto como directora ejecutiva de una ciudad. Mi dedicación y compromiso de toda la vida con el servicio a la ciudad… El papel del alcalde es servir a los habitantes de Detroit de una manera que mejore su calidad de vida. Por lo tanto, mi experiencia de vida, mi experiencia profesional como trabajadora social, todas me colocan en una posición que es muy diferente y me califica de manera única”.
