I chose Andre Sayles because he has done this job before and can hit the ground running.

I share Chief Barnes' hope that we can return our focus to addressing youth gun violence and ensuring that every family can feel safe in their neighborhood and across the city.

I will be looking for someone who can be an effective leader of our police department, from top to bottom.

Tonight, our attention belongs to the people whose lives were taken, those fighting to recover, and the families beside them.

Impacted families are living through the worst moment of their lives, and an entire community is trying to understand how a gathering built around culture, connection, and joy ended in gunfire.

Hannah Sabio-Howell is, like me, a renter in the 43rd, where three in four residents now rent their homes. She’s built her career organizing for stronger labor standards and workers’ rights. I know she’ll be an effective and energetic…

There is strong pressure for elected officials to endorse fellow incumbents. It’s a way of maintaining relationships, part of the quid pro quo of governing. I understand this, but it’s not the way I want to do politics.

The single most important thing we can do to address our city’s homelessness crisis is to rapidly expand emergency housing and shelter with supportive services.

I think that there are a lot of similar forces at work right now.

The working people of our city are tired. They are ready for something new, something more hopeful and just and equitable.

People are looking at a certain style of kind of old school Democratic Party politics as having utterly failed to stop that train wreck.
