 All candidates for City Council District 2 were invited to the forum, and according to the God Mines, we have to have at least two of the three here to be able to continue on, which we do have. So please let me introduce the candidates without a claim. Mr. Antonio Diaz and Mr. Keith Tommy. Mr. Diaz will have two minutes to give an opening statement. Our timer for today is 1dTracyBros Garcia. She will pull up a yellow card when they have 20 seconds remaining and a red card when they have, when it's time to step out. And I would ask you so that we can get as many questions as possible to please stop at that point. So Mr. Diaz, your opening statement. Mr. Diaz, I know you guys are reading this one. And at dawn of the year, I sat here and I said to Keith, I graduated from St. Philip's 40 years ago. Actually, I graduated in 1995. I'm very happy to be here today. I'm learning to represent all of District 2. And District 2, as I see it, has great opportunity along with great needs. And it has a constituent of District 2 for many, many years. I'm telling you that there is an unresponsive from our elected officials. And I want to bring this to the constituents of today as a responsive in that regard. I want to be there when you fall. I want to be there when we need something more. I want to be there when you want to congratulate the office where I have done something that you've asked us to do. That's what I want to do. I'm not an elite to need to stop a person. I'm very kind. Down to the soul of a person. And I've been here forever. And I'm glad to be here today. And I'm here for the best participation I can and to be as responsive as I possibly can. That's my goal. And I just want to be there. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You're tonight open. Good morning, everyone. I'm Keith Tony. I'm proud to say that I am your former councilman and future councilman for District 2. I succeeded then councilwoman Ivy Taylor when she is sent into the mayor's seat. And I'm also proud of the fact that I'm a Vietnam veteran. I brought a brown star back from Vietnam. But I'm more proud of the fact that I brought back a sense of service and self pride to go on to war. It was all about me. I was 19 years old in the world involved around me. Perhaps some of you can relate to that. And I'm proud of my bachelor's degree from Pepperdine University and my bachelor's and government from Chatham University. But I'm most proud of my associate degree. From Monterey Peninsula College. Because that associate degree said to me, Keith, you can do it. You've been out of house for a while. And you can still do it. And that's the value of our community colleges. And that's why I vow to eat community colleges strong. I want to be too parochial. But I do tend to lean toward St. Phillips as I live down the street. And I want to keep you strong. I will keep you strong. Because this is where it starts. This, no matter where you go, it starts here with this associate degree. And by the way, on my associate degree, my diploma, it does have my major stated. I'm just saying. Because it's not a high school diploma, is it? It's college. It's not junior college. It's college. It's real college. And it should have the major on there so that the world can see. Thank you so much for having us. I look forward to your questions. Our questions for this candidate forum will come from the moderator. There are three, my five, five there. Please write out any questions that you have. And if you'll hold them up, we'll pick them up and get them out here. So that we can answer as many questions as possible. We will try to improve similar questions together. We will rotate the questions so that each candidate has the opportunity to answer first, and last. And before we start, I'd like to welcome Mr. Albert Hill, who is the president of the Editing of the Red Cross double ACP. We will start the discussion with Mr. Diaz. And can you tell us, please, what are your top three priorities for district two? Is to have a responsive representation of district two. The second I believe, or second and third I believe we're tied together, is the economics and education. For district two, I'm really touched, which are under more right now, some revitalization and the inclusion of financing, as we all know. And the education opportunities will also become, we've had same terms for a very long time. And I need to continue to be, you know, supported by our city, which would be my goal. Thank you, Mr. Tony. All right, we'll start with what I call our eternal twins. The top two are employment and education. My goal is this, and you'll see it on some of my campaign literature. I don't see why you cannot stay in district two and go from a GED to a PhD and never have to leave district two. And that's my goal, and that's, we can do that. We really can't do that. It's about political will to get it done. The third one is infrastructure. Right around some places now, after the rain, this is perfect timing. And just like I asked for a rain storm just before this, I can make this point to you. There are places right now where there are four, five and six inches of water standing at corners. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. The city is an including hard version of park with an additional $25 million for land. And we have water standing, and our children are walking through it to go to school. Our grandmothers and grandfathers are as well. So those are the three. Thank you. This is one of the steps of you, Mr. Tony. Okay. The east side is a food desert. What do you plan to bring more? One of the things I intended to do when I was in office and never got an opportunity is to get a man who's very philanthropic and I have nothing to say about it, but I'd like to get Mr. Charles Buck to walk through the HEB at East Houston and move around from there and live with me and see if maybe it's just my nose from the age of old, but it smells like warm blood in the meat department. So that has to go first of all. We can work with this city. He can work with the city to expand that HEB. We need fresh fruits and vegetables. When I was in office, we brought in truck and tomato, and you hear a chair announcement talk about the fact that he's so proud that he did that. He's too young to have a memory that short. We did that. We brought it in, and we're glad to do that. So we need another HEB, at least a larger one, and we can depend on the one at McRillis. It's easy for those of us who have vehicles, but many people ride buses to and from to get, and some people just walk. You see them pulling the cars, so we need an additional food chair or chain here. Thank you, Mr. Harris. Well, I've got a partial to the HEB. I'm used to street and that's not the size out there, so I don't know about the walkway. So I'm glad to still be there. We've got a family to make sure it remains there, and perhaps get expanded, such as if we did one on the west side of the hills. If you've been there, it's a wonder. So we need people to negotiate with the HEB to improve and give no other selection sometimes as well. But we'll also be a farmer's market in the area, but people will give that some fresh produce and stuff. So we can do this. There's a lot of area in Disney 2 that is right for that, either just here in the area or a lot in Disney 2. There's great room. So I don't consider it a food desert. I do think it needs some growth and not sure that opportunity and possibilities are all here. Thank you. For those of you standing in the back, there are plenty of seats up here in the front. I know it's like church, nobody wants to sit in the front. Thank you. What are your plans for public transportation? Improving the VIA bus system. That transit system can be a model out there when they have a fuse system. Instead of trying to get this light rail into our downtown area, which will benefit very few. It might benefit our tourism business, but it will not benefit our residents. So I would work with the VIA. The VIA program is supposed to spend its hours and its route. People who actually get into areas that need to go to the living area or to the work. And that is where the work will be able to do. I think it's a very good transit system. It just needs to be expanded. These are the routes and the hours. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Thomas. I'm a practical guide. And I just don't think the streetcar rail system, as proposed, was practical. It really wasn't. It was an abbreviated route. So it served just a small population of folks, not most of us sitting in here. And so for that reason, I really was not for that. I don't like to see however a rail system like in Atlanta and other major cities, and we are a major city. We are. We need to start at the market. That will run from the airport straight downtown. So if you get on that, you run right into, literally into the airport. Those of you who've been in Atlanta know what I'm talking about. You get on, you go into the airport. Why couldn't we have something like that? And I agree with Tony. Expand the, get more routes. And I understand they have Wi-Fi now. That's a good thing. And understand there's more bike lanes. More bike lanes. I'm on that generation where we can't wait to get in our cars and drive somewhere. But not my children. My grandchildren, they don't want to. They want a bike. We need more bike lanes. Safe bike lanes. Thank you, Mr. Turner, for this next question. What is your position on the police bargaining process, particularly public care about this? My brother is a retired police officer. First of all, let me say that. And so I have great respect for police officers. And this is a little nuanced and bad. I ask you to please it if you, if you are aware that's fine. If not, please check it out. We can't afford to lose our trip and bond rating as a city. This is important to us. It's important for funding and financing. So I don't think that we should necessarily be funding anyone, including council or anyone else. If your family members want to join a gym and just don't see how we can afford to do that. We can't afford to maintain that. The way the contract is now is unsustainable. No matter where you fall on this thing, it truly is unsustainable. I think everyone needs to come to the table. When I was on council, I suggested we tamp down the rhetoric. We being both sides, the city and the unions tamp down the rhetoric. That happened. And we got some movement. I'd like to see more movement. Perhaps take personalities out of it by that. I mean the president of the police union and also the city manager back them out of it. Have someone else be the principal negotiator. Thank you, Mr. Ghez. Well, speaking to one of the city managers, Mr. Eric Walsh, who negotiates with the police office association. He basically says we go through this every time we have to negotiate a contract. And they haven't even gone past that I could have been on that contract with the association that there's a contract. There's been a couple of years during the negotiations. And that is because we have a very powerful, very well financed police officer association. It's a machinery that basically elects our city representation. Our city council mayor. They're financing all the campaigns. And so how is it that anyone can go against it? It's impossible. And I believe it generates a conflict of interest when you can finance someone's campaign. And so they will not be able to negotiate for the people. They just negotiate for the benefits of that association. And I think we cannot continue to do this. We cannot continue to finance the levels of financing otherwise it will take all the city budget just for one service. Thank you. Mr. Castle-Starrer, do you have a question? What do you plan to do to get high-performing high school students into the higher education institutions? We need to look into being able to have the money as we know our school system is entering most of the time because of the way that it is funded in the public school system and property taxation. And if we raise our taxes to high that our residents cannot afford to pay their homes then who do we plan on? I've been hearing a lot of grandfathering taxes to older people. That is how we finance our public education. And a lot of our children suffer because of it because they never take it out and continue on. And I don't believe, again, it's hard for the city to actually support education other than just some face-to-face acrylics without really getting into it because of the most problems of how our public school system is entering. We need to work on that very, very much. Thank you, Mr. Towns. Well, we've spent 15 years on the school board, by the way. I've spent ten to seven years as a school board president in Houston Independent School District. So a little bit about this. What you don't do is siphon off public funds to go to what are in essence private schools. How about both strength of public schools who have sent more children to private schools? Those children have gone on to become a doctor to all these engineers in this country and have shielded the structure of this nation. So let's do that. And the next thing is, once they're through high school, once they're through high school, yet encourage them to come to a set of colleges of the world which are generally right in their neighborhood and then walking distance sometime. Let's fund these. Fund these colleges. Fund the animal community colleges. Fund it. 100%, 100%. Stop the environment. We've siphoned money off to go to private schools and differently call themselves something different every year to private school. So that well-hilled, wealthy people have had another option and the rest of us have one less option. Thank you. I'm going to start with you on this one. Our city parks, south-side lines and our mills-con parks, a con valley, are becoming products and users are parking anywhere and creating a hazard to pedestrians. What do you feel about it? We need common sense. And here in District 2, you need a representative who is going to be less worried about a $43 billion company like Uber and how well they're doing and more concerned about our parks. When I was on council and they came to us and needed $2 million at that point, just only $2 million additional for Hartburg Park, I said, well, here's what I need. I told the city manager, we need $100,000 to go to a nonprofit in my choice in District 2. Guess what? She found $200,000. And we did it. So you need that kind of political will, not political naivete, political will and strength to say that the impetus, the importance of a district has nothing to do with how much money you make in the district. What the per capita income is and not go down there hand in hand or go down there as an intelligent, strong leader to represent your people. Thank you, Mr. Keir. Well, those are in almost all their city parks, so I guess just creating more and more of a park area, we have a lot of space created into a park. I see it on parks being created in the expanding areas, like Mr. Tony already mentioned, part of the park, where we have land in the inside city area could be used for part of the area if the other city are going to be too congested while in the old community areas. We can't do much as far as if we just have a big parking lot, then we're going to have a park. So I say I just give more space to create more of a park area. Thank you. And Mr. Diaz, when I start with you this time, what is your position on the state factors to influence what formings the city is going to have? I think that's a very, very bad idea of this situation. And especially, we have these conservatives that are dominating our Texas community right now and they're the ones that say that a local government state government is having a freedom and yet here they are in pride of telling some of that freedom that they say that they are strong. So I think it's a very bad idea to take control of my state or put it on the state and its balance and have residents, constituents of local areas should have their control later on, which is why this was created next to their bedroom or outside of the place where they run out of children in school. They should have it. It's not up to a more rich person that gets elected to follow up. Thank you. If you have a degree in government you don't have to have that since local control is paramount to the American way of life. It always has been. I find it very interesting only because of my age that I recall that some of the people are against local control now that Austin would be 100% for states' rights and some of us remember that as well. So it's just a real dichotomy to me that I have to rest local control and it's even stranger to me that we have local representatives on city council who would acquiesce to that kind of thing. How dare they? When they represent us I would never do that. We would fight to retain our local control. They want us to have local control over some things but not others. They, being Austin, don't get to decide. Anyway, if they're so good at cleaning up someone's act that'll start to clean up their own act is sort of like asking Ray Charles to teach you to drive. I don't think it's going to work. Thank you. Mr. Tony. Thank you. And I think I find this a very interesting question. Hopefully you all listen to the question and the answers. We have 100 billion dollars left. Why should the North side get 80% of it since they pay the hardest most taxes or since they vote the most? Well, you know what's interesting is that they may vote more than we do and we're working on that but also, you know who goes to war and his nation, primarily. Not from there. I'm telling you. Your students, your children, your grandchildren, your nieces, your cousins. So no, it's about parity. We all pay taxes. We do. And again and again we're going to do away with that mindset that once value as a citizen of this city is somehow inextricably bound to your bottom line. How much you have in your each chapter. So no, that's not going to happen. I do appreciate the question that the government got back there to ask that he said he has to tell me. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. But no, that's not going to happen. You know, we'll fight that but it will stop if we're not trying. Mr. Diaz? That's a question together. If you want to give your advice, you can do this. Taxes are paid by law, he said. And yes, lower taxes are paid by law. You have to assess it slower and then I guess if you live in Alamo Heights as we didn't mention in that taxes. But, San Antonio also exists self-taxes. And I think we pay more self-taxes. There's more revenue and these poor neighborhoods, if you go to any of these convenience schools, there's a lot of infusion of cash going in there. And so, self-tax also goes into the city. And so, no, as Mr. Tony said, there should be some parents and we're not going to say oh, everything should go to the north side because they are assessed at a higher property value. And yes, they do vote at a higher rate at this time. So I challenge all of you either within the area and we heard that district 9, district 10, they turned out to vote in a higher interest. So please come to vote. Thank you. And I'll just editorialize a little bit for the students here. The majority of people who vote in San Antonio are 50 plus. So basically, when you don't go to vote, you let me make decisions for what's going to happen in your home. So I would encourage you to come out and vote. And I will be happy to stay after for a little bit. If anyone is not registered to vote to help you fill out a voter registration card which would not allow you to vote in the main 9th election but it will allow you to vote in the run-off election that we'll definitely have in June. So next question is starting Mr. Yes, I'm going to start with myself. What will you do to your family number of voting people losing their homes due to coal fires? That is one of the things that I've been speaking about the most because I'm seeing this and I'm hearing this from some of my older friends that decided to do something that already lost property for the poor. And yes, the city government wants to put a good face out for and attract businesses and attract more businesses to the area. We do need to take care of older people with big thinkers that may have to do their properties and can no longer retain them. They need to have some assistance from the city. We do have more non-profits that do help with that but the city needs to be more involved. There needs to be more funding on that. So I would make sure as a city council person to put that in place or to work with my existing organization. Thank you very much. And Mr. Chairman? We maintain a list of non-profits in my office when I was in office and we encourage relatives of older folks and older folks themselves to call us. You don't have to come to the city hall. We'll come to you. Call us. We have a list of non-profits that are looking for things to do and many of these people are licensed and bonded and they're coming to help these. I just think it's a shame and almost amounts to and it'll be a land grab for the city to not assist residents who may have been and they can't get up and down the ladder and they can't afford to cost the money. You know, sometimes I think those of us who are very comfortable think that everyone's very comfortable. You know to re-enact with that and let them be capable. But everyone isn't comfortable and they can't financially afford to call a contractor and fix it. That's where we should step in. That's the number of things that they should do. Keep you safe and keep you happy. What I'm asking is the judge to say I have children and tell them and we're not going to wear the job and lead them to a rent. Thank you, Mr. wavelength. Oh, I'm sorry. I can't confuse with just two. Let me start with you, because you just got a second. What would you do to enhance deaf keys, benefits and programs and what can this city do? Oh, that's a setup. I am a veteran, as I said, and the one thing we'd like to do is turn the old Good Samaritan Hospital into a full service veteran center. I was in the office and we were making some momentum, and I have to say our great partner in that is St. Phillips College, and I know that there will still be a great partner for us when I'm back in office, and we'll make it a priority again. Somehow it has fallen by the wayside as so many things have, but that's number one. Not only, and again, here we go again, that we assume everybody can get into their car and drive out to the out of America. Well, we can. We're most of the veterans in areas just like this, west side, south side, some north, but not all. Many veterans are right here in the district, too. The retired veterans around here, military officers, so they're here. It would be nice to have a close ride on the bus line. Why can't we do that? It's about how you're going to teach all this fighting on a improvement lift. Let's take care of the people who take care of us. Thank you, Mr. Pearce. I'm also a veteran. My father was a veteran before me. And he has killed a few. We've never done a job like that before. You know what I mean? That's the mentality of the elevation. Anyway, we're part of the veterans. We've seen them, been in the news, their color being left behind, not paying attention to what our weight is, like to, so it's not going to be very nice. This military city of the USA needs to do a better job, a way better job. Whether you have people like me that don't want to do anything crazy, don't want to say, as long as I'm healthy, I don't need to be going asking for services that I just can use. It should be a way to all that I've already said. Because when you go out there, you put your life on the line for a government and country that should, at the end of your service, be there to at least provide service. So we can bring them over. I can work on that. Mr. Diaz, what do you think is the most important issue facing District 2 today and how are you going to resolve it? Well, as I always tell the possible voters, my possible voters, the constituents, my third-awards option is, I could not come in with my vision and tell you what is good for you. District 2 is quite large, and it has different needs and different opportunities. Because if you start here in the downtown area, or you end up in the winters, or you end up in most of the mites, each has its own interests. Now we even have, over there, my office, where it rolls as well, which is almost country. So you have different areas with different needs. I don't want to impose my vision on any of these areas. I want to be a good district, to listen to the needs of the community, to the actual people that live there, and then be in their movement as much as possible, and provide those things, to make sure that I, as a representative, am responsive to the needs of our communities that is where we're at. Thank you. Mr. Chairman. I'll go back to my fraternal twins of education and employment. We need jobs here. The buzzword, of course, everyone uses all politicians throughout the economic development. We need jobs here, sustainable income here, and I don't mean necessarily nothing against, this is a legitimate business, nothing against pawn shops, but we've got plenty. We're okay there. We need some sustainable jobs here where we can get some people, especially some youngsters, into some training programs right here in the neighborhood. They don't have to take four plus. Right here in the neighborhood, some employment that everyone can keep and keep forever. Nothing wrong with the hotel industry. I know it funds a lot of things in this city, but what if you want more for your children or for yourself? You ought to be able to do that. So education and employment are the fraternal twins that will be the aggregates of my administration. Thank you. And this is going to be a follow-on question that I'm just having reviewed. President Obama once mentioned that in any college it should be free and we should work out this issue. Is there anything that the city can do to propose a solution to help the community college of being tuition-free? Oh, yes, the city can. The number one thing is the city can go up and shake house and up and shake some sense into there to say, listen, it benefits the state of Texas statistically 80% of the people who graduate from community colleges will stay in the state of Texas. And out of that 80%, about 60% of them will stay in their local area. So we benefit with taxes and everything else. So why not do that? Yeah, we need to understand that when you look down there at the city, you all think you see fraud-based interviews that you don't get to see again. And ask if we just need political will, a political will to get it done. There's no reason that those first two years should be absolutely free first. Thank you, Mr. Gannon. Well, again, Mr. Gannon, as I said, Texas, the H.C.C. system has put a hole in the problems. But it also has opportunities that you know, in this state's association, they're trying to kind of close some of those opportunities up, especially in state financing with community colleges for higher education. And we should not allow that. At the city level, all we can do is take it up to Boston. For us, our higher education is near and possible. But we can take it up to Boston. We can start a program where we can assist what already exists in Texas and see if it looks like other American colleges will be allowing a community college system to help them. And that doesn't freeze in Boston or close to the city so that these colleges, and their colleges can succeed and we can't create another reason for this. Genderification is a big issue right now and I was earlier with the district too where that's in the process. How can you guarantee affordable housing while they are being revitalized? Because you certainly need to have neighbors revitalize but where do people who get displaced find affordable housing? These are issues that I would question. These are issues that are coming up in the community right now. You might have a question. It's too obvious, too. It's a big issue right now in the city area. People have been part because of the development of older people that are coming out and some of those homes have been bought for retirement purposes. We're finding it very hard to keep up with the development of the way into the areas. We have companies that are just right here. I'd say I'm right on the street and there are, I think, 100-some cases and they're right next to homes that are probably going to be very common. So it's making it impossible. We really need to, this needs to have been thought of before it was implemented. But now that it's here, we need to deal with it and we need to deal with it in a manner that we can support those residents that are here for 50 years, 70 years that are talking to the generations of older problems. I have proposed a program that I call Thrive at 85 and that's not 85 years old. That means if you're 60 years old and you have been an owner occupier of your property for 25 years, so you're 60, you've owned an occupier for 25 years, it's 85, then your property tax when you hit that threshold part, frozen. They're frozen. At that rate, you don't have to pay up anymore. Now, that doesn't mean you decide to move to Bogota, Florida and your 25-year-old grandson who's still a waste of time in years moves in, no. No, it doesn't convey to anyone in your family. But for you, for you, it does. So if you're 75 and you've been an owner occupier for 10 years, frozen. Because it shows that you have a commitment to the community. I know that for politicians, it's easy to throw red meat out here and talk about landlords and this and that. Not all landlords are nothing. We all know that. I mean, they really aren't there. They're struggling to. And they're trying to make it. They're trying to pay for property taxes. So I want to be fair to everybody. So prior to 85, remember that. Thank you. I think this is our last question and something unless somebody's got a permanent question, they want to hold it up while these are being answered. We start with Mr. Towns. Would you support higher taxes to maintain current levels of services expected by your constituents? Current levels of city services? I would say. I think we need to raise taxes to maintain and that was to maintain current levels, not to increase to maintain current levels. No, I don't think we need to raise taxes any more than we have many people pay to fair amount. And for folks not having on loopholes, that sort of thing. But no, I don't think we need to raise taxes. Mr. Towns. So, taxes. Do you have taxes? So, I believe there's cost to living in hospitals I've never thought of anything I could not do. But, I believe as Mr. Towns said that everyone has to pay their fair in their fair share. And we have a lot of businesses that move into our hospitals, that get evaded taxes for the next couple of years. That I would cut out because I believe San Antonio has a good business environment as it is. And we should not be afforded taxes and put that tax burden on the residents. We would have good corporate companies. They should come if you're willing to pay their own fair share taxes. So, there you go. If we give you the tax burden that there will be a huge cooperation with a lot of opportunities for local residents to get money and good wages. Otherwise, you don't get no savings for me. They have to pay their fair share and so the residents don't care the effort upon their shoulders. Before we started, the city council had a policymaking and legislative body within the city's government operating within the guidelines of the city charter, the city council appoints the city manager, municipal court judges, city clerk, city auditor and members of the city's various boards and commissions. As well as having I think all of our city councilors have district offices that you want. At this point we'll start with Mr. Tony for a two-minute closing. Thank you so much. I want to thank the NAACP St. Charles College and all of you, especially the students who came out to hear us and the only thing I would ask you to do is hold us accountable. Hold us accountable. Don't let us get away with it. Don't let us get away with anything. Hold us accountable. That's what we work for you. So hold us accountable. When we get out there at the city hall sometimes it can be it can be a little confusing. People open doors for you. You have to remember who you are where you came from. I am, at my core, the Hall of Farm's grandson. That's who I am. He couldn't read or write, but he raised 14 children at Fort Worth University during the Depression. So I know I'm a different stock. I care about people. My motto is service before self. And it's not just a saying. It's how I live my life. I've been blessed and I know I've been blessed when I was a teenager and thought that I lived so well because it was me and my father said we were born on third base but think you get a trip. So I never that's inculcated into me. So if you send me back I'll do like I did before. I'll do like I did before. No one will answer the phone. We'll follow up. I come myself. I can't tell you that many times. Especially our elderly residents have said I didn't expect to see you counseling. And I thought that's a shame. Why not? Why not? It's a pleasure to serve people. It's a honor. It's a blessing. I hope you'll give me that opportunity to thank you about this. Thank you. I was going to say I'm a life-long resident and I've seen that there's a change much. There's a change in childhoods and all that. And I grew up in public housing in public situations but also I was sawed by my grandparents they never put their hands up to actually go from building something to work. I guess now you can say, well that's a challenge but I'm a child laborer. Most of us too. And somehow I felt it was a taking away from me because then I could no longer sustain myself because as I saw through my family instead of being one of those characters alone which I enjoy as a child. I grew up early on and I continued to do so and I'm also a voter registrar I've been so forward to decades because I believe in the power of the vote I see this as running for office as the next stage of developing people but I cannot keep on moderating people to vote when I go run for office because that's the next stage of the vote that's what I'm doing I may not be the best may not be the best prepared but I will listen and I will try my best to take care of whatever it is that you are in need of as my constituent you can bag all that I've done so and many things that I've done as an activist have done I'm not planning to I'm already done and it doesn't mean I'm going to stop I'm going to keep going hopefully you will let me so I can bring this to the District 2 office because I believe it's a missing ingredient that passion to do for people just simply to get things done thank you
