Never met him in my life. He talked about the unfairness of the charges while he was on the campaign trail. And the first time we met, he also articulated unfairness.

And so my goal is to really communicate with our voters and show the success of turning around the city from a city that inherited Covid public safety issues, unemployment issues. (02:58–03:11)
