""What I feel deeply right now, and it's personal to me, is that the community here needs to have someone on City Council who really gets it and that gets the challenges that we're all facing right now,""
""That includes cost of living. It includes wanting to beef up the staffing on the police department ... and of course, we're talking about the homeless crisis.""
""This is the greatest job in the world.""
