Baba Afolabi argues that policies have harmed small businesses: 'Business is not the end-all-be-all, but it’s a vehicle through which you can get to connect community and safety.' This reflects his view that economic growth must support community welfare.
Carroll Fife, the incumbent representative, highlighted the need for a collaborative approach: 'It’s important we work together with our community to tackle the challenges we face, from homelessness to public safety, to create a thriving District 3.'
Candidates face the daunting dual legacy of neglect and opportunity in D3. They must navigate current challenges like the housing crisis and economic recovery while honoring the district's rich history of community activism.
The candidates in District 3 aim to address critical issues including chronic air pollution, crime, and the needs of renters: 'Our community deserves a future that celebrates its history while addressing urgent issues of health and safety.'
