We’ve had 99 mayors, all men. Not one of those 99 has looked like me. And there hasn't been a Black woman candidate for Mayor that has ever gotten this far before.

When it comes to any large scale economic development, the mayors response should not be a knee-jerk no. That’s not leadership. You do a cost-benefit analysis and you listen to the people who are most affected.
