Discussion on Minority Representation in Politics

um,

I think that with the, the interesting thing about our

communities here is I think

that minority communities, because we have never had representation,

we

are tied much more to identity. White communities,

they've had representation forever, and so for them, their tie

is a little less identity and a little more ideology.

And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think

of themselves

first as progressive voters.

Mm-hmm.

And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive

platform. And y- you're very right that you need someone in the middle

to be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us,

believe in us.

We've had that with Tiffany Caban and, and Cynthia Nixon
