I want to make clear that we cannot rely on this administration to do what is best for an accurate count.

if you are not counted you are not represented.

we have an administration in Washington that seemingly wants to manipulate the count.

I hope that your knowledge and with Julie Menin and the Mayor and others we can come up with a toolkit that we can take back to Congress on how to reach out, how to get everybody counted because we are going to have to rely on ourselves in…
