As president, our enforcement priority would be on public safety, and we would also be working to establish a pathway to citizenship so that people with these issues could get them cleared up.

the idea on Sunday of working to strike fear in the hearts of communities, you know, the same Sunday when a lot of Americans are going to be gathering in churches to hear messages about our responsibility to welcome the stranger, shows you…

This is an effort to address systemic racism in our country. And we've been developing this for months.

I'm not staking my candidacy on the idea that we've resolved racial injustice in my city during my time as mayor. This is a problem that was there when I arrived.

We need comprehensive, coordinated, ambitious national action. And it's why I believe the Douglass Plan, something that is as ambitious in scope as the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe is called for.

Because I couldn't get it done. My community is in anguish right now because of an officer-involved shooting, a black man, Eric Logan, killed by a white officer.

I'm sick of these things being talked about in political terms, in theoretical terms. I think it's a show, sometimes. It's people's lives.

I'm not going to present myself as the person who is going to resolve racial tension or racial inequality in this country, that's not the story I'm telling.

Of course black lives matter.

This President really could win again. He wins if we look like Washington. And so the riskiest thing you could do is try too hard to play it safe.

Maybe Incomplete. Again, that idea of integrated planning is welcome, but it hasn't been completely implemented.

the cities should be regarded not as regulated polluters but... Partners, or even co-regulators.

Are we being regarded as a co-regulator and a partner, or are we being regarded as a regulated polluter?

Yes. Certainly a community like ours could put that to work right away.

We believe that one of the virtues of integrated planning is that smaller communities can pool their resources.

the biggest thing we need is partnership, the ability to take, for example, a more sophisticated measure of affordability into account

We are doing downspout disconnect... making it easier for residents to have those go into the yard where the soil will drink up some of it.

We would absolutely welcome that in South Bend.

I think the most important thing is the mentality, that it focuses not on penalizing those units of Government that are trying to do the right thing but coming up short because of the limitation in resources.

I believe the DNC needs a fresh start too and I believe that I can deliver that fresh start.

Our party has got some issues and let us not for a moment shrink from the knowledge there is no majority for Trumpism in America.
