Hello
and
welcome
to
pizza
politics
2018.
My
name
is
Vinita
the
mullah
and
I'm
a
senior
at
Cupertino,
High,
School
and
I'm.
Also
the
chair
of

the
middle
school
and

from
our
district,
and
our
main

council
on
all
youth
related
issues
and
also

events
on
behalf
of

Campbell
and

Commission's.
We
welcome
you
to
pizza
and
politics.
2018.
C
D
Hi,
my
name
is
Chris
Mills
and
I
go
to
Bellarmine
I'm,
proud
to
represent
the
city
of
Saratoga
Youth
Commission.
We
have
eleven
members
and
our
objective,
this
year's
to
work
as
a
communicator
between
the
youth
of
Saratoga
and
the
City
Council
relaying
their
ideas,
voices
and
issues
to
the
council.
Having
said
that,
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
our
moderator
for
tonight
crystal
Beth
le
Oh.
E
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
pizza
and
politics,
my
name
is
crystal
booth,
elio
and
I'm
deputy
city
manager
for
the
city
of
Saratoga,
as
well
as
your
moderator
for
tonight.
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
a
moderator
for
pizza
and
politics
since
it
started
in
2012.
This
political
forum
is
one
of
a
kind.
It
is
organized
by
teens
for
teens
and
offers
a
unique
opportunity
for
the
youth
in
the
communities
of
Campbell,
Cupertino
and
Saratoga
to
talk
to
candidates
and
local
representatives
about
issues
that
are
important
to
them.
E
E
E
Thank
You
Assemblymember
low
for
joining
us
tonight,
and
thank
you
for
sharing
your
video
on
the
state
of
the
district.
Now
that
we've
learned
a
little
bit
about
what's
happening
in
assembly,
district
28,
I
think
we'd
like
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
you.
So
please
tell
us
about
yourself,
including
why
you're
running
for
a
second
term
in
the
assembly
first.
F
Of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
in
to
all
the
young
people
and
young
people
at
heart,
who
have
taken
the
time
to
be
here
on
a
Friday
night.
That
pizza
looks
very
very
good.
I
mean
I
should
have
eaten
before
getting
here,
because
it's
getting
a
little
hangry,
but
nonetheless
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
opportunity
to
be
here
and
to
participate
in
this
process.
F
As
crystal
you
mentioned,
though,
this
is
almost
seems
like
quite
some
time
ago
that
we
did
this
to
focus
on
the
engagement
of
young
people.
You
also
mentioned
earlier
that
young
people
don't
necessarily
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
quite
yet,
but,
as
you
know,
the
state
of
California
has
taken
a
key
leadership
position
and
ensuring
that
we
have
automated
voter
registration
at
the
Department
of
Motor
Vehicles
at
16
and
17
years
old.
F
Additionally,
a
number
of
the
youth
Commission's
that
are
participating
here,
I
know
have
taken
public
positions
on
the
constitutional
amendment
that
I
had
proposed
to
lowering
the
voting
age
from
18
to
17.
For
those
historians,
you
may
recall
that
lowering
the
voting
age
actually
was
a
Republican
concept
that
happened
under
a
certain
president
previously
in
our
United
States
industry.
So
we
have
had
a
tradition
of
ensuring
that
we
get
as
much
engagement
as
possible,
but
for
young
people,
oftentimes
ask
a
question
as
a
state
as
your
state
assembly
member.
F
What
do
you
do?
Who
are
you
and
why
are
you
giving
me
this
literature
when,
in
fact,
we
know
that
our
state
in
the
state
of
California
would
be
the
fifth
largest
economy
in
the
world
if
we
were
own
country?
Given
the
ghosts
gross
domestic
product
and
we
have
more
venture
capital
in
any
other
region
in
the
United,
States,
great
schools
and
so
much
to
offer,
but
I
got
involved
similarly
because
of
the
opportunities
to
be
engaged
because
I
always
have
a
sense
of
social
responsibility
to
be
involved
and
being
gauged.
F
My
father
was
an
optometrist
and
as
a
good
Asian
son
I
was
was
become
a
doctor,
but
I
didn't
do
that,
but
he
always
said
just
give
back
in
some
way
and
I
remember
growing
up
with
him.
He
was
president
of
his
Campbell
Chamber
of
Commerce
who's,
president
of
the
Lions
Club.
It
was
citizen
of
the
year.
He
was
acting
in
the
Santa
Clara
County
optometric
Society,
so
just
naturally
growing
up
I
was
exposed
to
all
of
these
politicians.
F
So
when
someone
said
politician,
it
evoked
a
different
sense
to
me,
but
this
is
about
public
service
ultimately,
and
you
can't
but
turn
on
the
TV
or
Twitter
or
Instagram
or
whatever
it
else
might
be
and
see.
What's
going
on
in
the
world
and
asking
yourself,
how
can
you
not
do
your
own
part
and
that's
where
I
think
the
obligation
that
we
have
as
a
society?
F
E
F
Very
difficult,
very
challenging
to
do
even
just
as
something
as
simplistic
as
the
six
cities
that
I
work
for
and
represent.
If
you
are
part
of
Campbell
Cupertino,
Saratov
Los,
Gatos
Reno,
the
positions
of
those
five
cities
collectively
may
be
very
different
from
that
of
the
big
city
of
San
Jose.
But
yet
we
have
to
take
one
unified
position
overall
for
the
entire
state
and
understanding
that
we
are
regional
as
well.
And
how
do
you
balance
that
out
and
oftentimes?
F
That
is
a
very
difficult
task,
but
I
think
communication
is
very
important
and
fundamentally,
we
have
to
make
a
decision
based
on
the
information
that
is
presented
to
us,
but
specifically
for
young
people.
Just
think
about
this.
When
you
think
about
politics,
it's
oftentimes
seen
as
a
dirty
word,
but
politics
is
the
the
spout,
a
conversation
about
differing
viewpoints
and
people
said
well,
I,
don't
like
to
argue
well.
Let
me
be
very,
very
clear
about
this
on
this
ballot
on
this
election
cycle.
F
I,
probably
don't
agree
with
my
own
mother
on
most
of
these
positions
that
we
will
be
voting
on,
but
then
the
less
I'm
still
gonna
be
at
her
house
at
7:30
for
dinner
and
we're
gonna
love
each
other
as
we
do
as
a
family,
but
having
difference
of
opinion
is
natural.
So
let
us
recognize
that
there
naturally
will
be
differences
of
opinion,
but
we
should
have
a
funnel
sense
of
respect
rapport
for
each
other
and
our
differences
of
opinion.
G
Should
be
limited
in
terms
of
what
it
does
and
she
just
uphold
the
rights
of
the
in
the
negative
rights
of
the
individual,
but
I
think
that
parties
and
parties
in
California
and
parties
in
general
and
politician
disagree
with
that
idea.
So
what
do
you
believe
that?
What
do
you
believe
the
government
should
do?
What.
F
F
So
if
you're
asking
me
what
my
what
my
position
is
on
the
role
of
government,
we
can
get
back
into
the
classroom,
which
is
that
of
the
various
branches
of
government,
the
three
branches
of
the
executive
branch,
judicial
branch
and
the
legislative
branch
and
the
separation
of
powers
without
of
the
federal
administration,
the
federal
government
and
states
rights
and
then
also
the
rights
of
local
cities.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
there's
autonomy
and
distinction
between
different
communities?
The
state
of
California,
is
quite
big
58
counties
over
300
cities.
F
The
city
of
Cupertino
here
is
very
different
from
the
city
of
Bakersfield,
yet
we
are
still
wholly
within
the
state
of
California.
So
if
the
question
is
posed,
what
does
the
state
of
California?
What
is
the
State
of
California's
policy
on
higher
education
or
position
on
housing?
The
issue
of
housing
is
very
different
from
the
Central
Valley
or
Bakersfield
than
here.
F
If
you
said,
for
example,
Apple
here
in
Silicon
Valley,
we
probably
would
have
a
sense
of
what
Apple
industry,
if
you
said
industries
at
Apple,
okay,
tech
technology,
if
you
said
the
central
values
at
Apple,
it's
referred
to
as
the
agricultural
community,
in
which,
by
the
way,
California
has
one
the
greatest
exports
of
Agriculture
from
dairies
to
almonds.
Some
would
call
them
Amin's,
very
distinct
differences,
but
again
so
the
role
of
government.
It's
a
balancing
act
and
there's
not
a
single
definition.
That
I
would
say
is
there.
F
But
fundamentally,
how
do
we
work
within
the
various
branches
of
government
from
the
federal
government
to
the
state
government
to
the
local
jurisdictions
and
how
do
they
support
each
other,
while
also
maintaining
as
much
autonomy
as
possible?
But
it
is
about
checks
and
balances
and
differences
of
opinion,
because
the
state
of
California
is
very
different
from
the
state
of
Alaska
for
sample
or
Santa
Clara
County,
our
region
of
Santa
Clara
County,
is
larger
than
at
least
five
states
in
the
nation,
so
there
are
unique
differences
that
are
there
but
I
think
it's
issue-by-issue.
F
H
I
There
how'd
your
name,
I'm
Matthew,
hi,
Matthew
I'm,
very
concerned
with
voter
turnout,
especially
since
a
lot
of
us
are
going
to
be
18
soon,
including
myself.
I
want
to
see
more
people
getting
involved
in
politics,
so
I'm
very
happy
with
this
event,
but
I
want
to
know
specifically
what
you
would
do
to
ensure
that
more
young
Americans
would
be
voting,
especially
in
this
area.
F
Of
next
year,
sir,
just
gonna
miss
the
election
yeah.
Yes,
yes,
as
I
stated
earlier,
I
had
a
legislative
proposal
to
lower
the
voting
age
from
18
to
17
years
old.
That
would
require
a
constitutional
amendment
which
requires
two-thirds
vote
of
the
state
legislature,
and
even
if
we
had
2/3
vote,
it
would
then
go
to
the
ballot
for
the
voters
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
should
lower
the
voting
age
from
18
to
17.
F
So
your
question
was
specifically
what
am
I
doing
to
support
younger
people
in
terms
of
those
engagement
levels,
and
then
it
was
that
proposal
to
lower
the
voting
age
from
18
to
17.
We
received
bipartisan
support,
Republicans
and
Democrats
for
that,
but
we
did
not
reach
that
54
vote
threshold
or
about
52
votes.
It
is
my
intention
to
bring
the
bill
back
again
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
about
this
and
hopefully
meet
the
requirements
of
those
of
those
votes.
F
I've
also
introduced
piece
of
legislation
to
make
Election
Day
a
holiday
in
16
states
in
the
United
States
Election
Day
is
a
holiday,
and
it
is
my
belief
that
in
the
state
of
California
we
want
to
lower
as
many
barriers
to
entry
to
allow
for
us
much
civic
participation
as
possible,
which
is
why
we've
had
prepaid
postage
on
our
apathy
ballots
on
the
on
the
absentee
ballots
that
you
get
in
the
mail.
You
don't
know
who
need
to
put
postage
on
it.
F
So
we
want
to
lower
the
barriers
and
again,
as
I
mentioned,
automated
voter
registration
at
16
and
17
years
old
online
voter
registration
polling
places,
we
we've
tried
to
make
it
as
accessible
as
possible.
But
let
me
also
just
say
this:
it
also
has
to
come
from
the
heart.
We
can
make
this
as
easy
as
possible
for
people
in
to
vote.
F
In
fact,
as
you
probably
also
know
in
the
private
sector,
two
hours
to
go
out
and
vote,
but
we
have
to
be
part
of
our
society
part
of
a
core
and
that's
why
I've
also
introduced
civics
education
and
civics
requirements
in
our
schools,
so
that
we
and
can
institute
a
lifelong
habitual
sense
of
voting,
in
other
words
being
taught
in
the
classroom?
Well,
what
is
a
proposition
and
what
is
the
distinction
between
an
initiative
and
that
of
that
those
bills
and
those
laws
that
were
passed
by
our
elected
officials?
F
Here's
what
a
ballot
looks
like
and
here's
what
a
designation
looks
like
here's,
what
support
is
means
and
here's
what
opposition
means
so
again,
multiple
angles
to
increase
participation,
but
I
would
very
much
also
welcome
your
ideas
because
you
are
bright,
you
all
have
bright
minds
and
I.
Very
much
would
welcome
an
opportunity,
as
we
go
back
into
the
legislative
session
on
any
bills
that
you
might
have
that
we
can
fund
only
make
and
propose
as
well.
So
I
would
welcome
your
feedback
Matthew.
I
I
definitely
agree
with
you
that
do
you
definitely
agree
with
you
that
it
definitely
should
be
a
part
of
our
culture
as
young
people
to
vote
and
to
participate
in
that
I
think
that
school
should
definitely
require
at
least
maybe
government
classes
at
the
very
least,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
to
vote.
Santa
Clara
voter
registration
actually
came
to
my
school
to
speak
to
all
of
us,
which
was
really
awesome.
I
F
Great
I
know
that
there
are
a
number
of
elected
representatives
also
currently
in
this
room
too
so
I
know,
they're
listening
very
intently
and
I
see
them
also
jotting
down
notes
for
increasing
engagement
with
the
Civic,
the
youth
Commission's
to
partner,
also
with
the
school
districts,
and
finding
out
what
we
can
do
for
the
young
people
in
our
communities.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
Thank.
J
H
J
F
You're,
quite
is
your
question
for
clarification.
Aca
ten
is
the
constitutional
amendment,
the
Assembly
constitutional
amendment,
ten.
That
is
the
reference
to
the
bill
to
lower
the
voting
age
from
eighteen
to
seventeen
that
I
proposed
last
year
and
if
I
understand
correctly,
your
question
is:
am
I
concerned
about
uninformed
younger
people
voting?
Is
that
understand
that
correctly?
F
Yes,
I'm
equally
concerned
about
adults,
not
voting
as
an
informed
position,
as
we
see
with
certain
electoral
turnouts
that
we
see
here
as
well,
which
is
why
I've
introduced
in
a
piece
of
legislation
to
abolish
the
Electoral
College
by
the
way,
so
I
do
a
lot
in
the
space
of
elections
and
electoral
reform.
So
abolishing
the
Electoral
College
Election
Day
as
a
holiday,
preventing
paid
signature
gathers
at
Target
in
other
places
being
paid
up
to
ten
dollars
to
get
your
signature
and
they're
not
always
telling
you
the
truth,
but
again
to
answer
questions.
F
I
would
suggest
the
same
thing
which
is
under
that
thought.
My
interpretation
would
similarly
be
should
I
should
not
be
worried
about
the
general
electorate
not
being
as
informed
but
I
think
is
an
opportunity.
Is
that
as
seventeen
years
old
you
we
have
you
captured
in
the
classroom,
so
naturally
in
civics
and
government
class?
This
is
a
great
opportunity
that
is
relevant
to
you,
in
other
words,
you're
captive
in
the
audience
you're
captive
in
the
classroom,
and
you
can
actually
vote,
and
these
propositions
will
have
an
impact
on
you
and
that
you
have
a
say.
F
You
know
this
is
notion
about
no
taxation
without
representation.
Well,
the
the
reality
is
this:
what
are
you?
Do
you
have
representation?
In
other
words,
can
you
vote
no,
but
do
you
pay
taxes?
You
don't
pay
taxes.
Excuse
me
what
was
the
last
time
you
went
to
tea
parties
at
the
boba
shops
around
here
or
Panera
Bread
or
wherever
Jamba
Juice
there's
something
called
sales
tax
or
if
you
drive
you
pay
at
the
pump,
there's
a
gas
tax.
F
So
indeed,
yes,
if
you've
ever
made
a
purchase,
maybe
with
your
parents,
money
or
otherwise
you
are
being
taxed.
So,
do
you
remember
the
notion,
simple
notion,
no
taxation
without
representation,
and
yet
why
are
you
not
all
equally
frustrated
saying?
Well,
they.
This
is
about
our
generation,
and
why
aren't
you?
Why
aren't
we
part
of
the
solution?
And
why
are
you
not
listening
to
us
and
what
we
should
be
as
young
people
equally
frustrated
and
engaged?
F
Because
let
me
tell
you
something:
you're
living
up
to
your
end
of
the
bargain
and
I
often
times
talk
to
about
the
social
contract,
which
is
that
you
go
to
school
K
through
12,
and
you
get
yourself
educated
at
a
community
college,
CSU
UC,
whatever
it
is,
and
that
we
sufficient
skill
sets,
have
become
productive
members
of
society.
That's
the
California
American
dream
and
that
that'll
be
sufficient
enough
to
find
a
job.
F
So
you
could
save
up
for
a
home
in
this
region,
but
you
wouldn't
probably
not
likely
be
able
to
afford
a
single-family
home
in
the
community
that
you
grew
up
in
in
this
area
on
an
income
starting
out
of
out
of
college.
So
we've
gone
far
away
from
that,
but
who
would
be
disproportionately
impacted
by
these
issues
of
housing
and
education
and
something
called
Social
Security,
which
is
a
whole
different
topic,
younger
people
not
just
the
millenials
but
even
beyond
younger
than
them?
F
L
K
K
F
So
let
us
I
know
this
might
sound
silly,
but
as
let
us
just
pause
for
one
moment
and
recognize
the
notion
of
climate
change
and
that
you
accept
the
science
and
the
data
that
best
determines
what
is
going
on
and
by
the
way
climate
change
can
be
interpreted
as
what.
What?
How
would
you
interpret
climate
change
and
have
an
impact
on
us
on
a
day-to-day
lives?.
K
F
Is
very
very
true
and
the
unfortunate
reality
also
in
addition
to
that
is
that
wildfires
are
our
new
normal,
which
is
you
may
see
that,
well
that
we
don't
have
wildfires
in
this
area,
but
you
all
know
that
you
looked
up
and
you
smelled
something
recently
just
past
couple
months.
This
has
an
impact
all
over
the
world,
so
this
is
real.
So
let
us
say
first
acknowledge
the
fact
that
climate
change
is
real
and
it's
man-made
and
that
we
need
to
address
this
issue.
F
The
state
of
California
has
provided
an
opportunity
to
incentivize
local
cities
on
a
number
of
different
areas
to
address
climate
change,
which
is
that
of
built
environments.
How
do
you
continue
to
build
housing,
new
major
transit
corridors
and
getting
grant
funding
for
many
of
these
different
areas
of
public
transportation
or
investments
in
the
renewable
energy
space?
F
But
it
is
earlier.
You
heard
the
question
earlier
about
what
is
the
role
of
state
government
with
respect
to
cities
and
oftentimes?
It
is
a
symbiotic
relationship
and
there
also
can
be
a
little
bit
of
tension,
natural
tension,
maintaining
the
autonomy
of
a
local
city
and
but
then
also
understanding
that
the
city
has
a
wider
role
to
play
with
all
the
other
cities
in
the
entire
state.
K
I
think
education
is
really
important,
so
I
understand
we
were
saying
earlier.
You
were
asking
me:
I
accepted
climate
change
as
a
man-made
and
a
lot
of
people,
don't
so
I
think
education,
like
the
general
public
and
like
building
society
that
accepts
this
is
an
actual
problem
and
then
looks
at
ways
to
fix
it,
because
you
can't
really
address
it.
Unless
you
know
people
accept
it
as
an
actual
problem.
Yes,.
F
And
as
a
result
of
that,
a
number
of
other
states
and
local
cities
passed
resolutions
to
indicate
their
positions
with
respect
to
climate
change.
So
should
you,
whatever
city
you
live
in,
perhaps
you
work
with
your
youth
commission
and
making
an
advisory
position
on
having
the
city
council.
Take
a
position
on
a
climate
change.

X
My
name
is
deputy
Jonathan
Lau
I've
been
with
the
Santa
Clara
County
Sheriff's
Office,
for
about
three
years
now,
I
feel
like
I,
always
am
worried
about
other
people
and
it
started
with
people
my
family
now
that
I'm
in
the
Cupertino
community
I
just
want
to
keep
making
it
a
safe
place
to
live
and
I
come
to
work
now,
every
day
and
I'm
excited
to
be
here,
you
know
I
get
home
now
I'm,
like
guess
what
happened
today
at
work.
You
know,
I
was
able
to
catch
this.
X
You
know
thief
or
this
burglar,
so
it's
definitely
a
lot
more
rewarding
and
exciting.
Nowadays,
the
thing
with
policing
and
cupertino:
it's
not
just
taking
bad
guys
to
jail.
I
hope
the
community
will
remember
me,
as
you
know,
that
officer
who
stops
and
talks
to
them
waves
at
them.
You
know,
hopefully
they
can
come
and
talk
to
me
about
the
problems
and
I
can
help
them
find
a
way
to
solve
it,
even
if
it's
not
necessarily
a
crime.

Welcome
back
to
pizza
and
politics.
As
a
reminder,
we
ask
that
our
audience
members
please
silence
or
turn
off
their
phones
and
remain
seated
until
our
next
scheduled
break
at
8:15.
During
our
first
segment.
We
discuss
issues
that
are
important
to
youth,
with
with
Assemblymember
Evan
Lowe.
Now
we'll
have
the
mayors
of
Campbell,
Saratoga
and
Cupertino
discuss
the
issues
that
affect
youth
in
their
communities.
Our
speakers
include
Campbell
Mayor,
Paul,
Resnick
of
Saratoga
Mayor,
Marilyn
Reynolds
and
Cupertino
Mayor
Darcy
Paul.
E
All
three
of
our
mayor's
were
elected
to
serve
on
their
respective
City
Council's
in
2014
and
were
selected
by
their
peers
to
serve
as
mayor
this
year.
Campbell
Mayor
Paul
reznikov
has
a
BA
in
biology
from
California
State,
University
Northridge
and
an
MBA

degree
from
Harvard
Law
School.
E
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
tonight
to
kick
things
off,
I'll,
be
asking
you
your
first
question
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
to
audience
questions
in
the
interest
of
time.
We
do
ask
that
you
limit
your
responses
to
90
seconds
and
each
of
you
will
have
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
each
of
our
questions.
E
Z
Thank
you
for
having
me
here.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
think,
there's
a
great
opportunity
for
teams
to
get
involved
and
to
start
with
Thank
You
Bree
from
being
here
in
the
youth
commissioners
that
serve
one
of
the
things
that
helps
us
with
is
hearing
their
perspective
of
younger
people.
We
tend
to
come
with
our
own,
our
own
focus
and
our
own
experiences,
and
the
issues
that
affect
our
youth
are
sometimes
different
than
the
ones
that
we
focus
on.
Z
That
makes
sense
to
you
and
will
help
you
in
your
current
interest.
So
I
encourage
everybody
to
stay
involved
and
to
participate
not
only
in
Commission's,
but
in
our
meetings,
which
are
public
and
give
us
your
opinions
and
tell
us
what
your
concerns
are
and
engage
with
us
and
I.
Think
we
can.
We
can
all
benefit
from
that.
E
M
Agree
completely
with
what
mayor
aristocraft
said
at
the
minute,
you
walk
outside
your
door.
You
come
into
a
space
frequently
that
is
handled
by
city,
whether
it's
walking
to
school
biking
to
school
or
having
either
you
drive
yourself
or
your
family
drive
you
to
school.
You
have
already
interacted
with
us
so
there's
that
level
of
infrastructure
in
which
we
need
to
know
is
it
safe
to
get
to
school,
for
you
is
traffic
or
traffic
congestion,
a
problem
around
your
schools.
M
M
AA
Great
question
thanks
and
thanks
for
having
all
of
us
here,
I
echo,
the
sentiments
of
my
fellow
mayor's
from
Campbell
and
Saratoga
I.
Think
it's
critically
important
to
be
able
to
know
what
this
very
significant
sector
of
our
community
is
thinking
and,
frankly
in
each
of
our
communities.
A
lot
of
the
people
move
here
because
of
the
fact
that
we
have
pretty
good
infrastructure
support,
such
as
in
our
educational
system
for
for
teens.
For
you
know,
people
that
are
anywhere
from
kindergarten
all
the
way
up
to
seniors
in
high
school.
AA
But
you
know
I
think
the
most
critical
thing
is
the
fact
that,
in
a
very
brief
number
of
years,
irrespective
of
you
know
precisely
where
the
voting
age
is
you're
going
to
be
taking
on
the
reins
of
society
and
I,
think
that
charge
very
seriously
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
provide
content
for
you
to
consider
and
to
you
know,
make
a
really
good
foundation
for
being
able
to
look
at
the
issues
you
know.
I
ran
in
2009
in
Cupertino
and
actually
I
won
the
mana
vista
election.
AA
Although
I
came
in
seventh
out
of
seven
and
the
in
the
regular
election,
but
you
know
I've
always
been
just
very
grateful.
You
know
ever
since
I
got
civically
engaged
to
our
our
teens
and
the
high
school
said.
You
know,
of
course,
from
my
perspective,
you
know
you
guys
are
the
smartest
people
in
all
of
all
of
our
city
anyway,
but
you
know
I,
think
part
of
it
is
also
a
matter
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
perspectives
are.
We
had.
AA
AB
Saw
my
name
is
Nelson
and
I
go
to
one
of
our
local
schools,
Monte
Vista
and
one
of
the
issues
that
really
faces
teenagers
nowadays
and
kind
of
something
that
I've
noticed
is
there's
not
really
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
kind
of
keeping
your
health
and
keeping
up,
especially
like
mental
health
and
there's
there
really
hasn't
been
a
lot
I,
don't
see
any
focus
on
these
kinds
of
issues
like
we
can
talk
about.
You
know
we
talk
about
traffic
reform.
We
can
talk
about
tax
reform.
Come
talk
about
housing
policies.
AB
All
we
want
right,
but
unless
the
future
of
the
city
is,
you
know
mentally
like
stable
and
secure
how
like?
How
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
proceed
right?
So
with
that?
My
question
is:
what
are
your
guys's
plans
for
you
know
really
pushing
for
this
idea
of
promoting.
You
know
wellness
for
everyone.
Thank.
AA
A
great
question,
thank
you
so
much
for
asking
it,
and
it
has
been
one
of
my
priorities
this
year
to
promote
mechanisms
for
making
sure
that
our
teens
are
mentally
healthy.
A
part
of
this
recent
event.
We
had
had
a
number
of
vendors
with
respect
to
you
know
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
have
resources
there.
AA
There
were,
you
know
certain
outreach
mechanisms
that
are
more
effective
than
others
frankly,
but
I
think
a
big
part
of
it
is
the
fact
that
we
live
in
a
pretty
high-stress
environment
just
in
general-
and
you
know
it's-
it's
also
a
community
that
tends
to
really
place
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
on
academic
I.
Guess
achievement.
So
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
really
like
to
see
is
more
of
these
types
of
outreaches
and
events,
so
that
people
can
get
a
sense
of
look.
AA
You
know,
there's
a
lot
more
perspective
and
not
just
the
course
of
a
high
school
career,
but
in
the
course
of
you
know,
someone's
life,
and
there
are
really
quite
a
few
things
that
we
can
be
doing
to
help
people
get
that
perspective.
You
know
it's,
it
wasn't
always
you
know
for
me
personally,
you
know
it
wasn't
always
about
doing
fantastically
academically.
You
know,
I
got
my
share
of
C's
and
DS
in
my
career,
and
you
know
I
think
I.
AA
M
M
Z
All
good
points
I
think
that
you're
you're,
showing
a
good
reason
of
the
value
of
a
Youth
Commission,
for
example
in
our
city
in
Campbell
Youth
Commission,
has
tackled
this
kind
of
issue
and
brought
this
issue
to
the
forefront
for
us.
I
think
by
the
very
nature
of
your
question,
we're
not
doing
a
good
enough
job,
getting
the
word
out
on
what
resources
are
available
a
lot
of
times
in
this
type
of
issue.
Z
The
resources
are
beyond
one
city,
their
County
resources
that
are
available,
and
we
need
to
make
that
known
to
the
youth,
and
it's
not
just
youth
when
you
were
to
when
you,
when
you
tackle
things
like
mental
health,
you're,
also
getting
to
a
root
cause
of
homelessness.
So
it's
a
critical
issue.
You're
questions!
Well,
two
well-spoken
I
think
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
telling
you
what's
available
and
reaching
reaching
our
youth
in
particular
and
making
sure
we
can
connect
them
with
the
right
services.
W
Hi,
my
name
is
sir
sriracha
ate
the
ramen
and
I
go
to
Redwood
middle
school
and
I
walked
to
school,
while
walking
back
to
school
every
day
and
I
was
wondering
what
like
plans,
do
you
have
to
like
help
safety
and
like
that
that
regard
of
walking
to
school
every
day
for,
like
maybe
half
a
mile
up,
mom
like
what
are
you
like
planning
to
do
in
the
next
couple
of
years
to
help
make
that
a
safer
experience,
especially
when
crossing
roads
and
other
dangerous
aspects
of
that?
Thank.
Z
It's
a
great
question:
I'm
glad
that
I
mean
it.
It
seems
very
rare
that
people
walk
to
school
and
I
think
it's
great,
it's
healthy
for
you.
This
comes
up
a
lot
in
Campbell,
okay,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
children
walking
to
elementary
schools
and
middle
schools
and
also
also
high
schools
and
there's
a
dilemma
here.
Generally
one
of
the
ways
you
you
tackle.
This
problem
is
through
traffic
calming
so
street
lights.
Z
The
blinking
lights
of
hawk
light's,
speed,
table,
speed,
bumps
and
things
like
that,
and
we
get
pushback
from
the
very
the
very
residents
that
live
at
those
intersections
that
don't
want
those
things
in
their
in
their
outside
their
house.
So
we
tend
to
focus
on
the
safety
of
what
makes
sense
for
the
safety
of
the
children
walking
to
school,
so
that
would
be
implementing
traffic
calming
like
I,
said
speed,
table,
speed,
humps
the
traffic
lights
or
stop
signs.
Z
Z
To
do
that
and
we're
also
looking
at
more
trails,
so
more
trails
that
enable
students
to
go
on
trails
off
the
main
streets
and
come
into
the
schools
from
say
a
back
way
and
get
away
from
traffic
and
make
it
safer
that
way,
so
we're
looking
for
alternative
ways
and,
lastly,
things
we
do
on
the
street
like
better,
better
bike
lanes,
safer
bike
lanes
and
bulb
outs.
So
we
have
a
bulb
out
when
you
have
to
cross
the
street
you're,
actually
more
visible
to
cars
and
you're
closer
to
the
bulb
out
across
the
street.
Z
M
Similarly,
to
to
Campbell,
even
though
Saratoga
looks
very
different
from
Ken,
it
started
out
as
a
rural
farm
type
atmosphere
and
through
the
years
the
residents
have
wanted
to
keep
it
that
way.
But
in
the
idea
of
the
safety
for
our
residents,
which
is
paramount
to
all
of
us,
we
have
done
project
whenever
projects
occur
within
the
city,
we
have
tried
to
link
sidewalks
so
that
they
get
developed
and
we
are
working
for
what
is
called
connectivity.
So
we
have
that.
M
And
finally,
in
addition
to
traffic
calming
and
all
that,
Mayor
Resnick
off
mentioned
again
I'm
going
to
do
a
shout
out
for
our
Youth
Commission,
which
does
a
walk
one
week
to
school
and
I'm
very
proud
of
them,
because
it
does
take
some
effort
on
their
part
to
be
able
to
come
out
and
do
that
for
our
our
arts.
Students.
Thank
you
for
the
question
there.
Paul
yeah.
AA
AA
Mehar
der
to
navigate
because
it's
it's
narrow
in
certain
areas
and
you
don't
have
the
bike
lane
or
sidewalk,
and
so
we're
working
on
that
to
you
know,
try
to
expand
in
certain
areas
and
get
a
solution
for
possibly
separated
bike
lane
there
as
well.
This
is
actually
a
topic.
That's
very
interesting
politically
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
into
bike
trails
and
how
the
communications
go.
AA
G
AA
Hey
well
thanks
for
the
question
you
know
I
kind
of
suspected
I.
You
asked
a
question
of
our
assembly
member
regarding
you
know
the
state
of
you
know
the
role
of
the
state
and
you
know
I
I,
don't
pull
any
punches
on
it?
You
know,
I
think
that
what
we
really
need
to
do
is
if
we're
invoking
laws
that
have
to
do
with
helping
the
housing
crisis,
that
we
should
actually
be
helping
the
housing
crisis.
You
know-
and
so
you
know
at
the
end
of
it.
AA
Some
people
like
to
say
that
you
know
density
is
something
that
is
inevitable
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
I
would
say
that
if
that
is
the
case,
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
growing
in
an
intelligent
manner
and
one
that's
you
know
kind
of
intellectually
consistent
I
do
tend
to
think
that
it
is
better
if
we
optimize
local
control
over.
You
know
the
course
of
our
you
know,
democratic
experiment,
so
to
speak,
and
so
I
think
we're
probably
doing
better
as
a
society
if
we
have
more
freedoms.
AA
But
then,
of
course,
you
know
and
I've
also
said,
look
you
know
until
we
figure
out
how
to
make
infinite
numbers
of
parallel.
Universes
is
not.
Everyone
is
going
to
get
everything
that
they
want
all
right,
and
so
there
are
people
that
you
know
have
a
preference
for
more
density.
There
are
some
people
that,
like
like
a
little
bit
less
dense,
so
we
really
have
to
strike
a
balance
between
that
help
our
problems
and
then
ultimately
be
able
to
sustain
ourselves
economically
to.
M
M
AA
M
Z
You
it's
a
great
question.
Now
Campbell,
we
also
like
Mara
Brunel
said
we
don't
have
a
Falco
type
property,
but
the
issue
is
the
same.
So
we
may
have
people
concerned
of
60
or
100
units
or
150
units
instead
of
2,400
3,000.
It's
the
same
issue
of
how
do
you
provide
housing?
That's
desperately
needed,
but
not
ruin
the
standard
of
life
for
all
the
people
in
the
area.
Right.
So
that's
it's!
It's
quite
a
dilemma.
What
we
do
is
we
look
and
say:
let's
determines
use,
grow,
smartly,
roll
along
transit
corridor.
Z
So
possibly
we
reduce
the
number
of
cars
that
need
to
be
used
or
grow
near
parks
and,
and
you
have
some
facilities,
people
can
walk
to
I
live
downtown
in
Campbell,
so
I
can
walk
everywhere.
I
tend
to
get
out
of
my
car.
We
need
more
of
that.
Wherever
we
go,
I
think
mayor
Paul
talked
about
local
control.
Z
There
are
times
when
the
state
coming
in
and
saying
fast-track
of
development
makes
sense
because
we
get
through
some
of
the
holdups
of
needed
housing.
But
we
have
to
be
careful
and
not
let
them
come
to
the
city
and
say
you
must
do
things
that
are
beyond
what
the
what
the
residents
want.
We
had
that
challenging
Campbell
recently
of
a
law
that
would
have
taken
us
above
our
voter
mandate,
height
limits,
so
I
think
the
positives
of
something
like
Valco
is
we
have
a
desperate
need
for
housing?
We
have
an
inventory
problem.
Z
It
provides
housing
near
near
a
massive
pool
of
jobs,
so
for
cities
that
bring
in
thousands
and
thousands
of
jobs
they
have
to
have
housing
nearby
because
it
takes
people
off
the
off
the
roads
and
has
left
we
have
less
commutes,
so
there
are
positives
to
it.
But
it's
got
to
be
from
just
Campbell
standpoint.
We
have
to
manage
it
because
the
people
love
the
lifestyle
Campbell.
We
can't
change
that
yeah.
S
Z
Great
question:
I
I
I
ran
for
office
on
the
number
one
priority
of
Public
Safety,
because
I
think
it's
the
number
one
thing
that
government
provides
for
people
and
if
you
don't
have
a
safe
environment,
I,
don't
care
what
you
have.
It's
not
a
good
place
to
be
so
when,
when,
when
I
got
in
there,
one
of
the
things
we
did
is
we
noticed
that
we're
always
down
police
officers,
because
police
officers
get
short-term
or
long-term
disabilities.
You
don't
expect
they
may
leave.
Z
They
may
not
make
it
through
training,
so
we
got
ahead
of
the
curve
and
started
putting
more
officers
into
the
Academy
and
all
that
earlier
to
get
ahead
of
the
curve,
and
we
and
we
beefed
up
the
number
of
officers
in
in
the
field.
We
also
invested
in
infrastructure,
so
there's
better
communication,
better
tools
for
the
police,
and
we
also
have
the
people
that
are
very
vigilant
and
report
crimes
that
they
see
and
our
police
being
a
small
police
force,
responds
very
quickly.
Z
What
I'm,
proud
of
is
in
the
four
years
from
nineteen
from
2013
2017
serious
crimes
in
Campbell
are
down
11%.
That's
not
what
you
see
in
San,
Jose,
that
abuts
us
and
in
the
county
that
abuts
us,
so
we
focus
on
it.
It's
very
important
to
us
and
I
think
it
is.
It
remains
as
I
run
again
for
re-election.
The
number
one
thing
that
we
need
to
do
if
we
keep
people
safe
everything
feeds
off
of
that.
Thank.
E
M
Is
a
number
one
issue
in
the
city
of
Saratoga,
even
though
we
are
considered
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
California
and
as
such,
we
have
always
an
ongoing
dialogue
with
our
Santa
Clara
County
Sheriff's
Department.
What
is
wonderful
for
us?
As
residents
of
Saratoga
and
having
the
county
represent
us,
we
have
all
the
facilities
that
are
available
throughout
the
county
available
to
us
in
Saratoga.
M
AA
Thanks
for
the
question,
communication
is
really
very
important
with
regard
to
making
sure
that
the
the
impacts
of
crime
are
are
minimized
and
the
crimes
themselves
are
are
also.
Similarly,
you
know
addressed
and
not
really
getting
to
the
point
where
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
these
public
safety
problems
in
our
communities,
and
so
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that
we
have
a
really
good
neighborhood
watch
program.
It's
called
the
block
leader
program
in
Cupertino
and
it's
it's
growing.
It's
constantly
growing.
AA
We
have
a
lot
of
needs
within
our
community
because
I
think-
and
this
is
true
for
Campbell
as
well
Saratoga-
we
to
be
targets
for
things
like
you
know,
car,
smash-and-grabs
and
and
home
burglaries
similar
to
Saratoga.
We
contract
out
to
the
sheriff's
office,
which
is
you
know,
generally
very
effective,
but
intercommunication
with
the
the
Sheriff's
Office
force,
is
also
critically
important
from
the
public
official
perspective.
You
know
if
you're
hearing
things
from
the
community
saying
things
like
well,
you
know
home
burglaries
might
be
diminished
a
bit,
but
you
know
things
like
car.
AA
Break-Ins
are
elevated.
You
do
kind
of
have
to
take
a
look
at
what's
going
on
legislatively
as
well,
so
some
of
the
impacts
of
state
legislation
has
been
to
you
know
basically
elevate
certain
types
of
crime
and
I
think
these
things
are
always
in
transition.
We're
always
or
we
should
always
be,
assessing
what
the
impacts
are
of
these
various
measures,
and
you
know
in
a
compassionate
and
understanding
way.
You
know
perhaps
regulate
every
now
and
then
and
and
tweak
a
bit.
Thank.
L
AA
An
incredibly
great
question:
thank
you
very
much
for
it.
You
know
my
my
mom
just
retired.
She
was
a
software
engineer
for
about
forty
five
years.
So
a
few
years
younger
than
I've
been
alive,
and
you
know
it's
something
that
I
think
is
really
important
to
achieve.
Is
gender
equity
in
those
areas
that
don't
don't
have
as
much?
AA
You
know,
as
as
one
of
the
people
that
get
involved
in
support
labor,
you
know
quite
a
bit
over
my
political
career
I've
had
the
privilege
of
looking
at
a
lot
of
the
labor
shops
in
this
area
and
those
are
very
gender
disparate,
as
you
can
imagine,
and
so
I
know
that
there
are
certain
outreach
mechanisms
that
you
know
people
undertake
there.
There
are
a
lot
of
these
types
of
affirmative
efforts
to
try
to
increase
the
amount
of
participation,
but
I
think
you
know,
slow
shadow
attitudes
really
need
to
change.
AA
You
know
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
movement
you
know
in
our
country
in
society
where
there's
some
more
elevated
awareness
of
it,
but
you
know
at
the
same
time.
It's
it's
also
critically
important
to
you
know,
raise
our
kids
and
that
kind
of
manner
where
we
encourage
them
to
you
know
be
fully
prepared.
I
have
two
daughters,
myself,
they're,
six
and
four
and
I
would
I
would
love
to
see
them
grow
up,
and
you
know
get
involved
in
every
aspect
of
society
that
they
would
wish
to
go
to
the
things
I'm
out
of
time.
AA
U
AC
M
I
think
you
all
are
living
in
a
very
special
time,
because
we
are
seeing
diversity
except
coming
into
being,
should
being
the
norm
that
wasn't
quite
grammatically
correct,
but
it
should
be
the
norm
in
2014
when
I
ran
for
City
Council.
My
first
time,
I
ran
with
women
from
Cupertino
Los
Gatos
Campbell
Saratoga
from
four
of
the
five
cities
in
the
West
Valley
area,
and
five
of
us
were
elected.
Five
women
were
elected
to
the
City
Council
and
I
came
in
second,
because
the
one
in
Saratoga
was
an
incumbent,
so
she
was
reelected.
M
So
there
were
five
of
us
who
were
able
to
look
out
for
each
other,
and
that
is
something
that
is
also
very,
very
important
to
be
able
to
build
a
partnership
with
yourselves,
don't
be
in
competition
with
each
other
look
out
for
each
other,
raise
each
other
up
and
go
for
the
goal,
which
is
equality,
absolutely
Mary.
Thank.
E
Z
Great
question
with
with
regards
to
engineering
in
particular,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
education
is
available
to
everybody
and
there
are
no
stereotypes
that
this
job
is
for.
One
group
of
this
job
is
for
another
group
and
I
think
what
mayor
Bernal
just
pointed
out
is.
We
can
also
lead
by
example.
So
if
you
went
to
Campbell
did
lets
say
certainly
10
years
ago
and
maybe
sooner
and
went
to
our
Commission's
and
we
didn't
have
youth,
we
had
two
Youth
Commission
years
ago
went
away.
Z
We've
brought
it
back
in
the
last
four
years,
but
our
commissioners
were
all
generally
men
and
and
very
very
under
versed
group.
We've
made
a
conscious
effort,
as
appointing
commissioners
over
the
last
four
years
to
add
a
lot
more
diversity
in
terms
of
of
gender
and
Nationality
and
and
and
and
what
have
you,
but
that
allows
there
to
be
role,
role,
models
and,
as
mayor
Bernal
said,
allows
people
to
help
other
people
and
to
work
together.
It
isn't
a
competition,
and
so
we've
tried
to
put
more
examples
in
the
city.
Z
So
it's
hard
for
me
to
talk
about
influencing
an
engineering
degree,
for
example,
because
that's
part
of
the
school
system
other
than
making
that
education
available.
But
we
have
to
do
a
good
job
on
our
part
of
recognizing
when
it
isn't
a
diverse
environment
and
things
like
Commission's
that
we
appoint
and
making
sure
we
have.
We
are
inclusive,
and
hopefully
that
presents
opportunities
for
people
to
meet
other
people
and
and
and
help
advance
each
other
yeah.
Y
Z
You
go
so
that's
that's
a
great
question,
I
think
so.
From
my
experience,
I'm
looking
on
the
outside
is
it's
been
mentioned
by
Mayor
Paul
earlier
your
schooling
things
like
that,
the
the
need
to
striving
and
and
and
do
well
and
get
into
the
right
school
for
for
college,
and
things
like
that
I
think
it's
a
very
different
environment
than
when
I
went
to
school
and
the
competitive
nature
is
much
worse
now
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
all
for
the
good
right.
Z
It
puts
a
lot
of
stress
of
having
not
only
going
to
school,
but
having
a
job
and
doing
extracurricular
activities
and
AP
classes,
and
all
these
things
you
want
to
do.
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
to
our
talk
about
youth
commissioners.
The
benefit
of
hearing
from
from
you
come
to
us
and
tell
us
what
those
issues
are.
What
those
issues
we
need
to
address
are
and
help
us
with
solutions
on
those
for
any
issue
we
have,
and
this
isn't
just
for
youth
issues.
Z
I
tell
people
come
in
and
advocate
for,
what's
important
to
you
coming
in
advocates,
we
may
not
know
tell
us
what's
important,
give
us
suggestions!
You
will
find
people
that
are
very,
very
willing
to
work
with
you
and
help
address
a
lot
of
those
problems,
but
they
may
not
be
on
a
radar
screen.
If
you
don't.
If
you
don't
come
to
us
and
tell
us
so
you're
more
of
the
expert
on
that
that
we
are
but
I'd
like
to
engage
more
with
with
our
Youth
Commission
and
everybody
on
those
issues.
Thank.
M
To
agree
with
everything
he
said:
Paul,
absolutely,
you
cannot
keep
it
bottled
up
and
buttoned
down
press
down
and
you
have
to
be
looking
out
for
each
other
most.
Definitely
the
one
of
the
ongoing
themes
that
I
see
is
the
pressure
to
get
into
the
right
school
and
I
have
found
that
many
times
the
Ivy
League's
or
the
the
prestigious
schools
aren't
necessarily
the
right
school.
M
But
you
should
be
looking
at
what
the
schools
actually
have
to
offer
that
speak
to
you
now
I'm,
going
against
what
a
lot
of
parents
are
saying
these
days,
but
I'd
like
to
see
the
time
that
you
have
as
youth
be
able
to
be
developed
so
that
you
understand
who
you
as
individuals
are
and
what
will
meet
your
needs
and
be
able
to
speak
up
and
in
that
right
definitely
speak
up
to
your
parents.
Speak
up
to
your
your.
Your
peers
speak
up
to
the
school.
If
you
need
to
don't
bottle
it
up,
yeah.
AA
Thanks
for
the
question,
Kelly
yeah,
you
know
I'd
say
that
what
would
expand
upon
you
know
the
mayors
of
Campbell
and
Saratoga's
comments.
You
know
we
we
tend
to
waste
a
lot
of
time
with
gamesmanship
and
things
that
you
know
really
have
nothing
to
do
with
solving
actual
problems.
And
so
you
know
what
what.
AA
AA
My
own,
you
know,
kids,
that
are
six
and
four
years
old,
I'd
love
to
see
a
different
climate
of
conversation.
You
know
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
say
that
okay
in
the
next
10
years
in
the
next
15
or
20
years,
that
we're
actively
working
towards
a
type
of
inner
communication
that
tends
to
eliminate
those
things
that
are
really
unnecessary.
So
things
like
things
like
lobbying
from
you
know
very
well
resourced
special
interests
that
ultimately
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
substance
of
conversations
right
I
mean
not
to
pick
on
any
industry.
AA
But,
let's
you
know
talk
about
climate
change,
and
you
know
various
industries
that
are
very
entrenched
and
really
want
to
be
able
to.
You
know
perpetuate
their
their
profit
margins.
I
mean
I,
think
it's
it's
critically
important
to
really
try
to
identify
what
those
concerns
are
and
address
them,
and
try
to
figure
out
transitions
rather
than
spend
most
of
our
social
resources
just
fighting
with
each
other
over.
You
know
fundamentally
think,
fundamentally
things
that
we
really
just
don't
need
to
be
arguing
about
because
it
just
wastes
a
lot
of
time.
AA
So
we
have
a
really
good
and
democratic
system.
It's
just
that.
If
we
let
the
gamesmanship
prevail,
it
tends
to
result
in
a
lot
of
inefficiencies.
So
you
know
ultimately
that's
what
I
really
like
to
see.
You
know
people
that
are
younger
right
now
kind
of
think
about
and
how
we're
going
to
improve
you
know
are
our
dialogue
on
the
social
basis
and
I
also
agree
with
everything
that
Paul
and
Mary
little
bit
was
saying.
AA
We're
saying
about
you
know
the
various
things
that
we
can
do
to
you
know
make
it
more
of
an
outreach
effort
for
teens.
You
know,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
like
to
do
is
to
work
with
our
school
district,
to
get
something
more
of
like
a
practical
and
broad-based
set
of
opportunities
available
for
internships.
But
you
know:
that's
I,
think
those
are
a
little
bit
more
immediate.
AA
E
T
Oh
sweet
here:
what
happened
me?
My
friend
Becky
got
to
talk
to
this
super
cute
boy.
I
tried
to
act
like
I
wasn't
jealous,
but
I
so
totally
was
and
then
out
of
nowhere.
This
concrete
barriers
popped
up.
Maybe
it
was
a
semi
I
mean
you
were
driving.
Yeah
I
mean
I,
know
the
whole
eyes
on
the
road
thing,
but
this
was
a
super
important
text.
Maybe
you
have
to
know
Becky.
T
AD
The
words
we
say
the
things
we
do
that
can
grow
into
something
else.
What
was
small
and
innocent
can
become
big
and
sometimes
scary.
All
it
takes
is
one
comment.
One
picture,
one,
video
for
something
to
catch
fire,
but
a
big
problem
doesn't
need
a
big
response,
not
at
first,
even
if
we
don't
know
what
to
say
the
eye.
Emoji
can
be
that
first
step.
We
take,
let's
all
pledge
to
take
that
first
small
step
together
and
change
the
world
in
a
big
way.
I'm
a
witness-
and
so
are
you.
P
My
name
is
Sarang
Deshpande
I'm
16
years
old,
I
go
to
mana
Vista
High
School
and
I've
been
a
Cupertino
resident
for
14
years
when
I
was
in
fifth
or
sixth
grade.
I
was
part
of
the
city
of
Cupertino
zetha
limpia
program.
This
was
an
experience
that
kind
of
opened
my
eyes
to
the
importance
of
soft
skills,
because
I
saw
for
the
first
time
that
stem
like
math
skills
like
science
skills
were
not
the
only
thing
that
was
going
to
help
me
be
successful
in
in
my
life
because
of
that
I
realized.
P
You
know
that
I
had
to
continue
to
develop
my
own
leadership
skills.
In
order
for
myself
to
be
successful,
so
I
decided
to
become
a
basketball
coach
for
YMCA
and
additionally
I
joined
my
school's
deca
club,
which
is
a
business
oriented
club
that
enabled
me
to
interact
with
various
people
and
work
on
my
communication
and
leadership
skills
in
a
business
environment.
I
was
a
member
of
the
Cupertino
toyokawa
Sister
Cities
organization,
when
I
was
actually
in
Japan.
P
P
So
budding
leaders
is
a
nonprofit
organization
that
hosts
leadership
workshops
in
the
community
at
local
libraries
and
community
centers
we've
been
hosting
various
leadership
workshops
at
local
libraries
and
community
centers
to
you
know,
build
a
solid
foundation
of
those
leadership
skills
for
the
young
generation,
our
target
audiences,
basically
upper
elementary
to
middle
school
students.
So
we
like
to
teach
really
solid
fundamental
leadership
and
soft
skills
such
as
trusts,
teamwork
and
communication.
B
Good
evening
my
name
is
Vinita.
The
mullah
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
Cupertino
team
commission,
as
well
as
your
moderator
for
the
teen
debate
tonight.
In
this
public
forum
style
debate,
both
sides
will
be
stating
their
stance
on
the
topic
and
will
be
refuting
each
other's
claims.
We
will
be
beginning
with
speakers
from
each
team
making
the
case
from
their
side
for
four
minutes.
Each
followed
by
a
three-minute
crossfire
round.
Speakers
from
each
side
will
then
have
an
opportunity
for
a
four
minute
rebuttal,
followed
by
another
three-minute
crossfire
round.
B
During
our
summary
round,
our
first
two
speakers
will
have
two
minutes
followed
by
a
three-minute
crossfire
round.
Finally,
we
will
end
with
the
final
focus
from
the
speakers.
Three
and
four
for
today's
teen
debate.
We
will
be
debating
the
following
topic:
private
gun
ownership
does
more
harm
than
good
to
personal
security.
On
the
affirmative
side
of
the
topic,
our
Brandon
pan
and
Tommy
Xander
deli
on
the
negative
side,
are
Nelson
mu
and
Matthew
Hoffman.
Your
judge
for
tonight
will
be
Jeff
milkis
director
of
the
recreation
and
community
services
for
the
city
of
Cupertino.
B
Jeff
has
extensive
background
in
speech
and
debate
having
competed
in
high
school
coached
at
the
high
school
level
and
competed
for
the
University
of
Oregon.
He
will
be
judging
tonight
based
on
the
quality
of
the
arguments
on
presentation
and
how
convincing
H
team
is
unaccepting
or
not
accepting
tonight's
resolution.
After
the
debate,
Jeff
will
be
announcing
who,
in
his
opinion,
did
the
better
debating
each
dibber.
Each
debater
will
receive
a
copy
of
the
debate
ballot
by
email.
We
will
now
begin
the
debate
with
the
affirmative
spot
side.
Q
Q
Now
in
the
aftermath
of
this
9
out
of
10
people
who
won
successfully
made
an
attempt
to
take
their
lives,
did
not
end
up
dying
by
suicide,
and
it's
really
interesting.
This
may
not
seem
like
a
big
deal,
but
what
this
evidence
suggests
is
the
easiest
and
fastest
way
to
commit
suicide.
That's
like
well
the
least
less
the
easier.
The
way
it
is
to
commit
suicide
and
the
less
long
it
takes
is
moral
people
will
commit
suicide.
Q
So
the
easiest
way
is
shooting
yourself
as
sad
as
that
is
now
in
states
with
a
high
percentage
of
gun
ownership
like
Montana,
for
example,
people
are
more
likely
to
succeed,
committing
suicide
than
people
with.
You
know
oh,
like
Massachusetts,
who
have
a
low
rate
of
gun
ownership,
and
the
fact
is
that
owning
a
gun
increases
exponentially.
Q
I
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
Matthew,
so
the
topic
that
we're
discussing
is
gun
ownership,
private
gun
ownership,
does
it
do
more
harm
than
good
to
personal
security?
That's
the
problem,
and
the
fact
is,
is
that
guns,
when
placed
in
the
hands
of
properly
trained
people
in
private
settings,
do
more
good
than
harm
they
protect
more
people
than
they
do
harm
people.
I
I
I
So
with
what
you
have
said
and
with
the
prompt
that
we
are
given,
basically,
what
we're
trying
to
ask
here
is
restricting
guns
from
responsible
people
or
restricting
guns
in
general.
Will
that
save
more
lives
and
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
it
would
do
much
greater
harm
than
it
would
good.
Then
it
would
do
good
for
every
eighty
cases
of
someone
using
a
firearm
in
a
self-defense
case.
I
I
Homicide
is
committed
with
the
firearm,
so,
basically
before
we
start
this
debate
on
the
wrap
up
here,
what
we
are
trying
to
say
is
that
we
live
in
a
very
unique
society,
not
one
other
country.
Besides,
the
United
States
has
the
Second
Amendment
or
has
any
right
to
gun
ownership,
which
is
private,
and
so,
with
this
unique
opportunity
we
get
to
look
at.
I
I
I
I
have
many
many
sources
here
that
will
say
the
same
thing
that
no
matter
how
you
look
at
it
in
terms
of
homicide
or
attempts
of
homicide,
the
person
that
is
being
protected
or
the
person
that
is
the
victim
if
they
have
a
gun,
maybe
it's
concealed
carry,
or
maybe
they
have
one
in
the
house
are
more
likely
to
survive
from
the
attack
and
are
more
likely
to
protect
themselves.
In
general,
we
have
here
US
Department
of
Justice
National
Institute
of
Justice.
I
I
Well,
now,
websites
and
new
sources
that
are
generally
more
anti-gun.
They
prefer
gun
control
and
it's
interesting
that,
even
if
it's
from
a
website
or
a
new
site
that
is
anti
gun
control
or
is
in
support
of
gun
control,
my
apologies
that
they
cannot
deny
the
facts
and
the
facts
are
that
guns
save
lives
on
average.
I
I
Q
Q
H
I
G
So
does
the
likelihood
of
that
person
dying
and
it's
in
a
second
it's
in
a
second
suicide,
and
so
basically
the
easier.
The
suicide
is,
the
more
likely
someone
will
will
do
it
and
go
carry
through
with
the
action
now.
Evidence
from
Austin
explains
that
as
the
percentage
of
gun
owners
increases
in
an
area.
G
It's
easy
to
assume
that
if
you
have
a
gun,
you're
more
likely
to
commit
suicide,
which
is
why
we
have
to
be
100,000
people
that
die
within
the
span
of
five
years
as
a
result
of
a
firearm
suicide.
Now
our
opponents
talk
about
how
a
prop
guns
in
the
pot
in
the
hands
of
properly
trained
people
can
prevent
crime.
But
the
statistics
go
against
every
single
thing.
They
say.
First
of
all,
only
353
of
the
60,000
of
the
30,000
gun
deaths
every
year
are
justified
killings
in
self
defense.
This
is
from
city's
statistic,
calm
right!
G
So
compare
that
to
the
10,000
people
who
died
from
homicides
every
year.
That's
353
justified
self-defense
killings
to
ten
thousand
homicides
every
year,
so
I
think
that
far
outweighs
what
they
bring
up.
Furthermore,
they
claim
that
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people's
serve
I've
I
mean
a
deter.
Crime
were
scare
away
criminals
using
a
gun,
however,
preventing
a
crime
does
not
necessarily
translate
to
saving
a
life,
as
hundreds
of
thousands
of
robberies
occur
every
year,
but
we
don't
see
hundreds
of
thousands
of
deaths
from
robberies
every
year.
G
G
AB
AB
When
looking
at
the
statistics
after
the
Brady
Act
was
implemented,
which
was
a
law
on
a
five,
essentially
a
five
day
waiting
period
on
getting
firearms,
it
did,
it
did
decrease
the
amount
of
suicide,
but
very
very
slightly
by
0.92
per
100,000,
and
this
was
only
in
one
group
in
buy
it.
Mail
is
55
and
over
in
every
other
group,
when
others
did
when
other
factors
were
accounted
for.
There
was
not
a
single
reduction
or
single
sizable
reduction
in
suicide.
AB
Now
I
posed
the
question,
then,
if
guns
are
really
the
reason
why
people
are
so
effectively
able
to
take
their
lives,
why
is
it
that
after
there
is
a
law
implemented
saying
you
can't
get
guns,
there
was
still
the
same
amount
of
suicide
perplexes
me
now,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
point.
They
argue
that
the
amount
of
debts
that
happen
per
year
from
homicide
because
of
guns
has
well
it's
been
high,
but
here's
the
truth.
AB
According
to
the
FBI,
there
were
seventeen
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
murders
in
the
United
States
in
2016,
the
FBI
receive
supplemental
data
for
fifteen
thousand
and
70
of
those
meaning
they
have
confirmed
confirmations
on
those.
Basically,
all
those
fifteen
thousand
murders,
eight
thousand
eight
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
work
with
firearms.
However,
only
374
were
committed
with
rifles,
one
of
the
main
points
of
contention
nowadays,
as
a
point
of
comparison,
there
are
656
murders
committed
with
hands
and
feet.
AB
These
are
the
things
that
you
don't
need
to
have
background
checks,
for
this
means
that,
roughly
speaking
on
the
main
point
of
contention
of
rifles,
one
point
seven
five
times
as
many
murders
in
2016
were
committed
by
unarmed
assailants
than
by
those
committed
with
rifles.
Rifles
are
one
of
the
main
points
discussed
nowadays
when
talking
about
gun
control.
So
it's
important
to
keep
those
statistics
in
mind.
AB
Furthermore,
on
addressing
the
issue
of,
are
there
really?
As
many
you
know,
mass
shootings
and
as
many
reported
big
atrocities
as
the
media
would
like
you
to
believe.
If
we
just
take
2015,
the
media
claimed
that
there
was
355
mass
shootings,
but
in
reality
only
for
those
were
true.
Mass
shootings,
like
will
you'd
see
at
a
you
know,
for
example,
Sandy,
Hook
or
Columbine.
The
rest
of
them
were
simply
cases
where
there
was
more
than
three
casualties.
In
many
cases,
some
casualties,
Damion
counties,
deaths,
see
or
simply
just
people
injured.
AB
As
a
result,
looking
at
how
much
guns
are
able
to
protect
people
looking
at
how
little
of
an
effect
gun
control
has
on
actual
suicide
rates
and
finally,
looking
at
the
simple
fact
that
not
that
the
right
people
with
the
right
guns
don't
actually
cause
crime,
the
evidence
all
points
in
the
same
direction
guns
are
good
for
personal
security.
We
should
have
them.
G
AB
AB
G
Made
the
claim
that
suicide,
the
suicide
rate
didn't
drop
after
the
passing
of
the
Brady
Bill,
but
I'd
say
that,
because
if
someone's
gonna
go
buy
a
gun,
I,
don't
think
a
five-day
waiting
period
is
gonna,
stop
them
and
with,
though,
we're
talking
about
the
correlation
between
the
gun,
ownership
and
suicide
rate,
not
the
correlation
between
gun
control
and
suicide
rate.
Well,
the
mounds.
AB
AB
AB
G
So
you
bring
up
rifles
in
your
battles
and
you
say
that
rifles,
murder,
less
well.
Rifles
are
used
for
less
murders
than
a
hands
and
feet
or
something
but
like
what
about?
What
about
handguns
right,
because
I
don't
think
the
topic
is
limited
just
to
rifles.
So
what
about
handguns?
How
many
people
do
how
many
people
are
killed
with
handguns
every
year
compared
to
hands
and
feet?
Well,.
G
G
AB
Guns
are
the
hardest.
The
guns
are
the
hardest
thing
to
get
right
now:
okay
and
yet
okay.
So
here's
my
point
then
gun
if
guns
are
the
hardest
thing
to
get,
but
other
easier
methods
like
knives
and
knives
and
acid
attacks
and
bare
fists
and
hands,
are
able
to
do
that
much
damage,
if
not
more,
then
worse,
where's,
the
proof
that
you
know
where's
the
proof
that
more
access
to
firearms
is
causing
more
harm.
Well,
we.
G
AB
Q
I
Want
to
address
a
point
that
was
made
earlier,
you
brought
up
suicides
with
gun
ownership.
However,
the
point
that
I
was
trying
to
make
until
we
unfortunately
ran
out
of
time
was
those
are
two
different
topics.
What
you're
alluding
to
is
mental
health
right,
because
suicide
is
unfortunately
a
lot
of
the
time
caused
by
mental
mental
health
issues
with
the
people
involved.
What
we're
specifically
talking
about
is
private
gun
ownership,
doesn't
more
harm
than
good
to
personal
security.
Now
you
could
argue
that
suicide
is
a
part
of
your
personal
security.
I
I
Q
Q
I
G
Why
does
it
matter?
Why
should
we
ignore?
Why
should
we
ignore
suicide,
because
the
definition
of
personal
security
was
let's
look
at
personal?
The
definition
of
personal
is
of
affecting
or
belonging
to
a
particular
person
rather
than
rather
than
to
anyone
else.
So
wouldn't
you
agree
that
suicide
may
kind
of
affect
an
individual
a
bit
right.
AB
AB
AB
AB
G
AB
While
you
know,
while
we
still
have
this
time
loved
I
want
to
address
the
claim
again,
you
know
bringing
back
the
fact
that
this
is
about
private
gun
ownership,
doing
more
harm
than
good
to
personal
security.
The
simple
fact
is
that
it
does
do
good
to
personal
security.
It
defends
people
and
not
only
that
it
doesn't
increase
the
amount
of
it
doesn't.
No,
restricting
guns
doesn't
decrease
the
mountain
suicide
that
there
is,
and
finally,
pointing
out
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
around
70
percent
of
the
firearms
used
in
homicides
are
obtained
illegally.
G
Alright,
so
my
opponents,
our
opponents,
bring
up
this.
This
argument
that
they
talk
about
illegal
guns.
They
talk
about
guns
being
in
the
hands
of
a
trained
citizens.
They
talk
about
mental
illness,
right
all,
alluding
to
the
fact
that
if
in
the
right
hands
guns
can
be
used
for
good,
but
the
fact
is
that
the
topic
never
says
anything
about
having
having
to
have
guns
and
they're
just
in
the
hands
of
a
responsible
citizen.
It
just
talks
about
having
private
citizens
own
guns
in
a
private
manner
right,
so
you
can
throw
all
of
that
aside.
G
So
now,
let's
talk
about
personal
security,
now
suicide
most.
Certainly,
if
you
commit
suicide,
I'd
say
that
that
definitely
affects
your
personal
being
in
a
way
that,
in
a
way
particular
to
yourself
and
therefore
suicide
would
fall
under
impacting
your
personal
security.
So
everything
we
make.
We
are
all
our
talking
points
about.
Suicide
still
stand,
so
they
talk
about.
G
They
bring
up
our
opponents,
never
counter
the
fact
that
suicide
by
gun
is
the
most
effective
method
and
if
we
do,
if
someone
doesn't
commit
suicide
by
gun,
they're
much
more
likely
to
survive
and
they
bring
up
gun
control.
But
that's
not
in
the
topic.
It's
about
gun
ownership.
They
don't
show
you
any
evidence
that
gun
ownership
actually
decreased.
G
As
a
matter
of
fact,
it's
increased,
especially
since
Obama
in
the
past
presidency,
when
Obama
took
office
right,
so
they
bring
up
self
defense
to
will
admit
you
can
use
guns
for
self-defense,
but
the
number
of
people
killed
in
during
self-defense
is
253.
The
amount
of
homicides
that
occur,
but
using
guns
is
ten
thousand
ten
thousand
to
353
I'd,
say
that's
a
pretty
significant
difference.
And
finally,
the
number
of
people
who
die
from
suicide
in
within
the
span
of
five
years
is
one
hundred
thousand.
G
AB
Time
and
time
again,
our
opponent
refuses
to
dress
the
simple
claim.
You
know
this
simple
fact
that
people
don't
stop
killing
themselves,
even
if
they
don't
have
access
to
guns.
Sure,
maybe
guns
are
more
lethal
way
of
doing
it.
With
amount
of
suicides
stays
the
same.
Maybe
one
person
decides
not
to
kill
himself
with
someone
else
will
successfully
kill
themselves,
though
other
you
know,
the
other
issue
that
we
need
to
deal
with
is
that
you
talked
about.
You
talked
about
people
dying
from
justifiable
causes,
353
Hansa.
You
keep
throwing
this
number
around
you.
AB
You
know
this
is
that
golden
number,
for
you
guys.
What
you
fail
to
realize
is
that
you
don't
need
to
kill
someone
for
it
to
be
a
good
self
defense.
As
my
partner
brought
up
in
his
opening
speech,
three
out
of
five
convicted
felons
said
they
would
not
mess
with
an
armed
victim.
You
don't
need
to
pull
the
trigger
on
someone
in
order
to
prevent
them
from
it.
You
don't
need
to
pull
the
trigger
on
someone
to
protect
yourself
from
a
crime
simply
having
a
gun.
AB
Simply
having
access
to
being
able
to
defend
yourself
is
a
very,
very
strong
deterrent,
and,
as
for
the
claim
that
oh,
this
is
about,
as
for
trying
to
twist
the
topic
in
the
saying
that
private
gun
ownership
is
the
topic
and
thus
anything
related
to
it
is
out
of
the
window.
That
is
simply
not
true.
Having
more
gun
control
reduces
the
amount
of
ownership
of
guns
that
private
citizens
how
it
reduces
access
that
people
have
to
these
tools
of
protection.
AB
These
you
know
these
recreational
things
that
people
can
use
to
go,
hunt
people
can
use
to
defend
themselves,
and,
above
all,
is
one
of
the
liberties
that
Americans
cherish
it's
one
of
the
things
that
sets
us
apart
from
the
rest
of
the
world
and
done
right.
We
are
able
to
use
it
for
better.
We
are
able
to
have
people
have
guns
and
have
people
live,
better
lives.
B
N
AE
Appears
these
four
dashes
are
about
to
be
dunked,
which
could
possibly
start
a
wildfire.
How
will
smokey
deal
with
such
a
hot
situation?
The
garden
hose
defense
next,
a
thorough
job,
then
another
spray
and
finally,
feeling
if
the
ashes
up
is
the
Sophie,
a
ritual
practice
who
frequently
will
destroy,
but
not
so
much
by
smoky,
better.

Just
as
a
driver
of
a
car
is
responsible
for
signaling
direction,
a
cyclist
is
also
responsible
for
signal
and
direction.
It
is
important
for
your
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others
around
you
that
you
clearly
indicate
your
intentions
on
a
bike
to
signal.
A
left
turn
raise
your
left
hand
straight
up
to
the
left.
The
signal
right
turn.
AI
You
have
two
options:
either
raise
your
right
hand
straight
out
to
the
right
or
raise
your
left
hand
out,
forearm
up
at
a
45-degree
angle,
to
signal
that
you
are
slowing
down
or
stopping
as
you
are
coming
up
to
a
stop
sign
or
stoplight
angle,
your
left
hand
downward
at
a
45-degree
angle.
It
is
safest
to
use
these
signals
before
making
your
turn
so
that
you
can
keep
both
hands
on
the
handlebars
when
turning.
AJ
Thank
you
thank
you
and
congratulations
to
all
for
an
excellent
debate
round.
This
was
an
interesting
debate,
because,
typically,
this
form
of
debate
is
really
more
about
a
resolution
and
about
something
that
one
side
values
too,
to
do
more
so
than
you
know
it's
what's
the
value
to
the
community,
what's
the
value
to
the
city
or
what's
the
value
to
the
country.
In
this
case,
however,
this
was
somewhat
of
a
of
a
different
kind
of
a
format,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
arguments.
I
appreciate
the
you
know
the
nature
of
which
you
presented
them.
AJ
Let
me
tell
you
how
I
how
I
see
it?
The
intention
here
also
is
that
the
debaters
are
supposed
to
be
convincing.
What
we
consider
to
be
a
community
judge,
somebody
that
doesn't
really
have
a
lot
of
information
so
from
the
perspective
of
gun
control,
anything
that
I
would
have-
or
you
would
have
believed
or
not,
doesn't
count.
What
counts
is
what
was
the
quality
of
the
arguments
that
were
made
and
how
were
they
refuted?
Okay,
so
the
competition
here
really
was.
The
agenda
was
set
by
the
first,
the
first
constructive.
AJ
The
topic
really
tonight
became
all
about.
In
my
opinion,
whether
suicide
itself
was
effective.
What
was
the
relationship
I
thought
that
the
the
pro
team
did
an
excellent
job
of
providing
a
link
between
suicide
and
between
gun
ownership
and
then
established
a
certain
amount
of
harm,
unfortunately,
for
the
negative
team
they
didn't
address
until
very
late
in
the
in
the
speeches,
the
kind
of
the
core
issues.
So,
in
my
opinion,
the
the
first
argument
really
what
we
call
flows
through
to
the
pro
side.
AJ
There
were
several
other
several
other
issue:
I
thought
that
the
the
negatives
contentions
about
Liberty
could
have
been
very,
very
strong.
Their
contentions
about
mental
health
could
have
been
very,
very
strong,
but
here's
a
little
rule
in
this
form
or
any
form
of
debate.
Arguments
need
to
be
made
in
the
constructive
part
of
the
debate
rather
than
in
the
summary
or
the
rebuttals,
and
unfortunately,
I
thought.
The
Liberty
argument
could
have
become
really
a
key
part,
but
it
was
just
a
little
bit
too
little
too
late.
AJ
However,
as
this
is
a
friendly
competition,
both
sides
are
winners
and
we
have
some
very
nice
prizes
for
each
these
are
and
we'll
present
them.
If
you
would
like
to
present
them
for
me
or
we
do
it,
okay,
cuz
I,
then
I
leave
the
microphone.
These
are
solid,
silver,
American,
Eagle
collectors,
coins
and
so
for
tonight,
again,
we
thank
you
for
being
here
and
for
presenting
a
very
good
debate.
