Danny’s Story

Danny Espino was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis as District 5’s Miami-Dade County School Board Member on November 22, 2022.

Born to Cuban parents, Danny Espino is a first-generation Miami native. He is a lifelong District 5 and Miami Springs resident, where he resides with his beautiful wife, Barbie, and their four boys, Lucas, Benjamin, Elliot, and Jacob.

Danny began his work in public service just after turning 19 years old in various capacities within the City of Miami Springs local government. He has also served the residents of District 5 by serving as City Attorney for several cities, including City of Doral, City of Miami Springs, and the Town of Medley. Danny is a respected attorney, having been recognized as an honoree by Best Lawyers in America and Lawyer of the Year by the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He was awarded the Up and Comer, Forty under 40, and Rising Star awards by South Florida Business & Wealth Magazine, South Florida Business Journal, and the Daily Business Review, respectively. Danny was also named Top Young Leaders of Miami by Latino Leaders Magazine. But by far, “Daddy” is the honor he most proudly bears.

Danny brings to the School Board and for the residents of District 5 a unique combination of legal, business, and public service experience, in addition to offering the perspective of a parent with children attending a District-managed charter school within District 5.
