A
A
good
day,
I'm
here
today,
my
with
my
guest
chester
nino
candidate
for
state
rep,
chelsea,
revere
sagas,
we're
here
with
spotlight
on
chelsea,
I'm
your
host
leo
robinson
and
welcome
to
chelsea.
I
see
that
you've
been
pretty
much
doing
a
lot
of
campaigning
here
in
the
city.
I
like
to
thank
you
for
getting
to
know
the
people
of
chelsea
and
being
out
we've
been
in
such
a
what
this
pandemic.
B
Well
leo,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
it's
been
great
to
get
to
know
you
and
the
residents
of
chelsea
over
the
past
few
months.
You
know
we're
in
a
different
position
now
than
we
were
when
this
started
back
in
march.
So
when
it
happened
in
march,
I
think
that
there
was
a
big
scare.
People
were
didn't
know
what
was
happening.
We
didn't
have
the
resources.
B
You
know
there
were
shortages.
People
were
looking
for
cleaning
supplies
and
household
items,
and
there
was
a
a
big
kind
of
shock.
I
think
we're
in
a
different
situation
now,
because
we
are
more
prepared,
you
know,
cities
and
towns
have
been
provided
more
resources,
we
have
hand
sanitizer,
masks
and
the
supplies
that
our
first
responders
need
to
get
us
through
this.
So
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
better
situation
in
terms
of
our
preparedness.
B
C
A
B
So
campaigning
during
covid
is
an
entire
new
type
of
campaigning.
I
think
it's
pushed
a
lot
of
people
to
focus
on
social
media
more.
It's
put
a
focus
on
just
really
becoming
creative
and
being
able
to
access
your
your
residents
and
constituents
without
you
know
putting
them
in
jeopardy
so
using
zoom
using
different
things
like
that.
So
that's
been
one
challenge
that
we've
overcame
in
the
past
few
months,
but
in
terms
of
the
ballot
and
the
different
options
for
voting
some
of
the
pros
are
it's
expanded,
its
reach?
So
much?
C
B
Are
coming
out,
you
know
it's
a
presidential
election.
So
of
course
we're
gonna
have
a
better
turnout,
but
people
are
really
stepping
up
and
coming
out
to
vote.
I
think
that
some
of
the
younger
generations
like
the
mail
in
voting
they
like
that,
it's
easier.
They
can
just
do
it.
If
they
go
back
to
school
or
you
know,
are
working
it's
more
accessible
for
them.
B
B
You
know
like
the
feeling
of
going
into
a
ballot
box
casting
their
vote
and
giving
it
to
a
person.
I
know
we
spoke
in
the
city
council
in
revere
about
concerns
that
when
you
do
early
voting,
you
know
you're
signing
an
envelope.
You're
sealing
it.
So
there
is
that
possibility
that
you
know
someone
can
open
it
when
it's
put
in
and
see
your
name
and
that's
a
trust
issue.
People
are
concerned
about
that.
A
A
B
B
B
But
the
flip
side
of
this
also
is
you
know,
people
that
are
retired,
for
example,
and
maybe
rent
out
one
bedroom
in
their
basement
they're
in
situations
where
they're
putting
another
mortgage
on
their
home,
because
if
their
tenants
can't
pay
the
rent,
they
can't
pay
their
mortgage.
So
it's
a
very
complex
issue
and
it's
so
important
to
look
at
all
of
the
different
people
that
are
affected
by
it.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
know,
as
people
return
to
work
and
as
life
sort
of
normalizes
a
little
bit
that
it
will
come.
A
B
A
Yeah
well,
the
state
had
put
up
171
million
for
the
raf
program.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
some
of
the
larger
landlords
here
who
do
not
want
to
lose
their
tenants,
but
also
they
need
to
be
able
to
survive.
The
city
has
put
up
money
for
rental
assistance.
Up
to
four
thousand
also
will
be.
The
city
is
going
to
be
coming
up
with
a
program
to
help
homeowners
up
to
one
to
four
units.
A
You
know
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
have
an
equal
balance,
and
now
we
don't
have
a
mass
evictions
with
people
going
on
the
street.
They
also
put
in
place
a
an
attorney
to
help
deal
with
somebody
eviction
or
advocate
for
people
in
the
community
and
being
that
we
don't
see
any
stimulus
package.
That's
coming
from
the
federal
government.
How
do
you
see
the
state
government
stepping
in
to
help
you
know
with
the
economy
and
with
unemployment.
B
So
I
think
that
the
governor
has
done
a
really
good
job
in
terms
of
stepping
up
to
the
plate
and
helping
out
our
communities
during
this
difficult
time.
And
I
am
very
hopeful
that
when
the
legislature
returns
to
its
formal
session
in
november,
that
you
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
fund
these
different
programs
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
fund
and
find
resources
for
areas
that
we
didn't
need
to
before.
B
Cities
and
towns
are
going
to
need
more
help
with
things
like
rental
assistance
for
ppe,
for
proper
sanitation
and
you
know,
hand
sanitizer
and
things
for
people,
so
I
just
think
it's
it's
really
important
that
you
know
once
things
start
to
normalize
and
formal
session
goes
back
in.
I
do
have
faith
that
the
governor
is
going
to
continue
to
fund
these
programs,
and
I
know
our
legislature
is
going
to
fight
for
it.
A
B
So
something
that
I
learned
on
my
first
year
in
the
city
council
10
years
ago
is
sometimes
in
your
first
year.
It's
important
to
learn
to
know
the
issues,
learn
your
communities
and
learn
about
what's
happening,
so
I
intend
on
being
a
sponge
and
really
taking
it
all
in
and
really
trying
to
become
an
expert
on
everything
that
I
need
to.
B
Of
course,
I
want
to
continue
the
fight
for
environmental,
environmental
justice
that
rosalie
vincent
has
been
working
on.
You
know,
she's
been
an
incredible
advocate
for
revere,
chelsea
and
saugus
in
terms
of
the
environment
and,
as
you
know,
that's
a
deep
concern
of
mine
that
I
want
to
continue
to
work
on
as
well.
As
you
know,
looking
at
different
things
to
help
our
communities
inside
of
covet,
you
know
providing
hazard,
pay
to
first
responders
and
people
that
are
on
the
front
line
worker
working.
A
A
B
Well,
I
think
it's
it's
great.
You
know,
from
my
perspective,
to
see
so
many
people
that
are
engaged
as
an
elected
official,
something
that
we
always
really
fight
for
is
to
ensure
that
people
are
participating
in
government
that
their
voices
are
being
heard.
So
earlier
in
the
year,
we
were
concerned
about
the
census
and
getting
people
to
complete
the
census.
Now
our
focus
is
on
getting
out
and
voting.
We
need
you
to
get
out
and
vote
in
terms
of
locally.
I
think
that
all
of
the
focus
right
now
is
on
what's
happening
now
happening
nationally.
B
B
A
Yeah,
I
think
I
think
that's
always
been
an
important
issue,
is
that
you
know
you
can
debate
the
issue
and
disagreeing
on
the
issue
and
kind
of
walk
away
and
come
back
to
fight
another
day,
but
not
get
to
the
point
where
I'm
on
one
side
of
the
issue.
You
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
issue,
another
I'm
never
going
to
speak
to
you
again
or
I'm
never
going
to
support
anything
that
you
put
forth.
A
That
might
be
a
benefit
to
the
community,
but
I
might
not
want
to
support
it
because
you
put
it
up-
and
I
think
all
you're
doing
is
cheating
the
people
of
the
community.
Who
would
benefit
from
the
work
that
you're
doing
absolutely,
and
I
know
that
you're
on
the
ballot
next
week.
Is
there
anything
you
want
to
say
to
your
voters.
B
Absolutely
so
I
first
want
to
thank
the
city
of
chelsea
and
the
residents
of
chelsea
reverence
august
for
their
support
in
the
primary
I'm
overwhelmed
with
gratitude
by
your
support
and
confidence,
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
I
look
forward
to
working
really
hard
for
you
over.
You
know
the
next
term,
it's
very
important
to
get
out
and
vote.
B
I
would
ask
for
your
vote
on
the
general
election.
I'm
excited
it'll
be
the
first
time
I'll
ever
see
my
name
on
the
ballot
with
the
president,
which
is
a
little
overwhelming,
but
I'm
here
I
look
forward
to
meeting
people
talking
to
people
seeing
what's
affecting
you
and
working
really
hard
for
you.
So
thank
you.
