Hello
and
good
evening,
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
pizza
and
politics
2020,
a
political
forum
for
youth
by
you.
I
am
marshall,
jain,
a
junior
at
homestead
high
school
and
I
am
proud
to
represent
the
city
of
cupertino.
As
the
chair
of
the
cupertino
teen
commission,
our
commission
is
comprised
of
19
residents
from
a
variety
of
backgrounds
who
represent
our
city.
Our
main
goals
are
to
advise
the
city,
council
and
staff
on
issues
and
projects.
C
Hello,
everyone,
I
hope,
you're
all
doing
well.
My
name
is
dhruv
kitamuri,
a
senior
archbishop
high
school
and
I'm
proud
to
represent
the
city
of
campbell.
As
the
chair
of
the
campbell
youth
commission,
we
are
composed
of
15
commissioners
who
are
dedicated
to
bring
about
positive
change
in
our
community.
We
are
very
glad
that
you're
able
to
attend
tonight.
E
E
E
Although
many
of
you
are
not
able
to
vote
yet,
you
are
already
developing
the
practices
of
responsible
voters
and
you
should
be
applauded
for
taking
the
time
to
learn
more
about
the
candidates
and
issues
that
will
be
voted
upon
on
election
day
if
you're,
18
or
older.
We
strongly
encourage
you
to
register
to
vote
at
registertovote.ca.gov.
E
E
E
E
E
We
have
break
scheduled
at
6,
30
p.m
and
7
10
p.m.
To
our
panelists,
you'll
have
90
seconds
to
respond
to
questions.
We
will
have
a
timer
that
will
help
you
navigate
the
time
when
you
see
the
15.
Second
warning,
please
be
respectful
of
the
time
and
wrap
up
your
answers
to
avoid
going
over
the
90
second
time
limit
for
our
first
panel,
we'll
have
the
mayors
of
campbell,
cupertino
and
saratoga
discuss
issues
affecting
youth
in
their
communities.
E
E
E
Mayor
stephen
scharf
joined
the
cupertino
city
council
in
2016
and
served
as
mayor
in
2019
and
2020..
He
graduated
from
the
university
of
florida
with
a
degree
in
electrical
engineering.
He
has
worked
in
both
design
and
marketing.
For
many
silicon
valley
companies,
including
xerox,
timeshare
dsc
and
estar
and
national
semiconductor.
E
E
E
F
F
They
can
also
come
and
speak
for
things
like
our
planning,
commission,
our
bike
and
pedestrian
commission,
and
even
before
city
council,
we've
had
several
classes
from
prospect
high
school,
that
the
teacher
requires
them
for
one
time
to
come
in
and
sit
through
a
council
meeting
to
hear
what's
going
on,
so
I
always
encourage
everybody
to
be
engaged
as
much
as
possible
learn
what
processes
there
are
in
politics
in
government
approvals,
be
engaged
and
have
fun
while
you're
doing
it
and
hopefully
you'll
learn.
So
when
you
are
18
and
vote,
you
have
a
large
information
background.
F
G
G
I
know
it's
frustrating
to
get
cut
off
in
the
middle
of
your
prepared
statement,
so
I've
always
been
pretty
lenient
with
times
and
even
if
you
can't
vote
you
can
do
other
things
you
can
volunteer
with
campaigns
of
candidates.
You
support.
I
was
always
very
political
as
a
kid
I
was
out,
you
know,
protesting
the
vietnam
war.
G
H
Yeah
stephen,
it's
funny.
The
only
students
we
get
most
of
the
students
are
from
prospect,
high
school
as
well
and
there's
some
conflict
with
wednesday
nights
at
saratoga
high.
So
it's
always
interesting.
I
just
want
to
leave
you
with
a
couple
thoughts
on
the
national
level.
The
national
data
is
that
the
average
voter
spends
15
seconds
per
congressional
candidate,
considering
who
they
vote
for
15
seconds.
You
have
already
spent
10
times
that
amount
just
listening
to
us
so
far
and
so
you're
way
ahead,
and
so
I
just
you
need
to
keep
this
in
mind.
H
I
think
being
engaged
means
being
knowledgeable,
it
means
being
informed,
it
means
understanding
who
you've
elected
and
what
they
are
doing.
Okay,
not
just
reading
the
color
glossy
flyers
that
come
in
the
mail,
because
those
are
almost
always
exaggerations
and
then
the
second
thought
I
want
to
leave
all
the
youth
with.
If
one
of
my
residents
writes
a
letter
to
the
editor
it
might
get
published.
But
if
a
16
year
old,
high
school
student
writes
an
articulate
on-point
letter
to
the
editor,
I
can
almost
guarantee
you,
it
will
be
published
so
use
your
voice.
E
H
Sure,
just
a
shout
out,
the
founder
of
zoom
is
a
saratoga
resident
and
so
he's
never
come
down
to
city
hall
to
tell
us
how
to
use
zoom,
but
we've
we've
all
figured
it
out,
and
so
for
the
for
the
students
and
the
youth
of
saratoga.
It's
been
pretty
tragic.
A
large
part
about
being
youth
is
learning
how
to
be
with
other
people
and
interacting,
and
all
this
peer
and
social
dynamics
right
now
that
we
don't
get
to
be
at
school,
we've
lost
a
major
part
of
our
education.
H
I
see
it
at
west
valley
college
as
well.
There
are
students
who
can
be
fully
engaged
in
a
virtual
environment
and
those
who
just
do
not
work
in
that
way,
and
so
I
am
very
fearful
that
we're
leaving
behind
25
percent
of
this
generation
in
this
educational
format,
we've
got
to
figure
out
how
to
do
better.
We
have
some
businesses
in
our
city.
Our
downtown
was
greatly
affected.
We
have
already
lost
many
businesses.
H
We've
tried
to
put
dining
out
on
the
street
as
something
new
in
saratoga
of
the
last
several
weeks
and
it's
very
been
very
well
received,
but
the
hardship
and
and
economic
impacts
to
these
small
businesses
is
huge
and
we
will
lose
many
of
them
in
our
city
unless
people
find
a
way
to
go
frequent
them.
So
please
go
downtown,
go
to
your
favorite
restaurant
sit
in
the
street
and
buy
dinner.
There's
a
ton
more,
but
I'm
sure
the
other
mayors
will
cover
all
the
big
points
as
well.
G
G
Now.
Correlation
versus
causation
is
a
tough
thing
to
evaluate,
but
if
you
look
at
the
infection
rates
for
each
city
in
the
county,
cupertino
is
by
far
by
far
the
lowest
per
capita
infection
rate.
We're
about
half
infection
rate
per
capita
of
saratoga
and
demographics
are
pretty
similar.
Demographics
matter
a
lot
in
this,
but
when
you
look
at
cities
with
similar
demographics,
you
have
to
wonder
why
one
city
is
doing
much
better
than
the
other,
so
like
saratoga
cobia
19
is
affecting
our
businesses,
not
only
restaurants
but
hotels.
G
The
hotel
revenue
is
probably
close
to
maybe
five
percent
of
what
it
was
and
we
depend
on
hotel
taxes
to
help
fund
our
city,
so
we've
been
helping
businesses
and
individuals
try
to
get
through
this
financially.
But,
as
you
know,
the
city
doesn't
have
unlimited
funds
to
do
that.
So
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
and
we're
going
to
have
to
adjust
to
the
new
normal,
because
I
don't
think
things
are
going
back
to
the
way
they
were
for
a
very
long
time.
Thank
you.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
So
your
first
question
was
what
major
effects
have
coveted
had
on
our
city.
Well,
let
me
start
by
saying
our
budget
is
three
things:
a
portion
of
property,
tax
sales,
tax
and
hotel
tax.
So
when
this
hit
and
businesses
shut
down
in
the
last
quarter
of
the
year,
our
fiscal
year,
which
was
april
to
june,
we
had
a
4.4
million
dollar
budget
deficit.
F
When
the
the
things
started
to
happen
and
we
shut
down
the
city,
we
declared
a
state
of
emergency
and
by
declaring
that
emergency
we
qualify
for
fema
loans
and
other
potential
funding
sources.
We
had
to
redirect
how
city
hall
was
operating.
We
did
shut
down,
planning
and
building
for
a
while.
We
had
to
develop
new
staffing
protocols
about
how
to
work
from
home.
F
E
F
F
First
thing
is
understand
the
regulations
there's
caltrans
standard
for
class
designations
for
different
types
of
bikeways,
there's
a
class
one
where
that's
usually
what's
along
a
creek,
it's
isolated
from
traffic
or
grade
separated
class.
Two
is
the
striped
lane
that
you
see
along
this
roadway
and
class
three,
which
is
really
more
round,
as
you
may
see
the
little
chevrons
in
the
street.
So
the
first
thing
to
abdicate,
understand
what
you're
advocating
for
understand.
Why
there's
constraints
and
limitations
regarding
safety,
access,
handicap
access,
bicycle
access
and
then
go
to
committees
like
the
parks
and
recrea
commission.
F
G
I
think
in
this
case
lobbying
the
cities
may
not
be
the
best
approach
you
may
want
to
be
lobbying
organization,
like
the
mid
peninsula,
open
space
district
to
expand
the
number
of
trails
that
are
open
to
bicycles.
I
know
there's
always
been
a
conflict
between
hikers
and
mountain
bikers
and
the
and
some
areas
have
worked
things
out.
They've
they've
done
alternate
weekends,
where
the
trails
are
closed
to
mountain
bikers
on
alternate
weekends.
G
Although
hikers
can
be
there
all
the
time
and
it's
tough,
I
know
over
at
fremont
older,
where
I
go
go
occasionally
that
there
have
been
conflicts
between
the
hikers
and
the
cyclists.
So
I
think
the
key
thing
in
getting
more
stuff
open
is
the
cyclists
need
to
behave
responsibly,
and
I
see
that
that
is
mostly
the
case,
and
there
are
are
areas
that
I
go
to
where
they're
not
very
popular
for
people
hiking
like
wilder
ranch
and
santa
cruz.
G
I
enjoy
climbing
up
to
the
top
to
uc,
santa
cruz
campus
and
then
flying
down.
Unfortunately,
when
it's
foggy,
you
can
fog
up
your
glasses.
I
had
a
nasty
crash
and
I
was
by
myself
so
yeah
lobby.
Your
open
space
districts,
I
think,
is
the
best
option,
because
a
lot
of
cities,
maybe
other
than
palo
alto,
don't
have
a
lot
of
control
over
the
land
that
would
be
appropriate
for
mountain
biking.
Thanks.
H
First,
a
nod
to
the
city
of
cupertino
saratoga
had
the
number
one
position
for
infection
rate
up
until
the
middle
of
june
and
darn,
it
cupertino
did
pass
us
and
I
just
looked
it
up.
So
congratulations
but
the
second
least
infected
city
is
saratoga.
Yes,
us
mayors
are
very
competitive.
Okay,
so
saratoga
you
guys
got
the
background.
I
think
steve's
comments
are
great.
Midpin
does
have
a
whole
bunch
of
mountain
biking
stuff.
They
four
years
ago
completed
the
john
nicholas
trail
out
of
the
back
of
sanborn.
H
You
can
get
onto
it
and
I
know
the
trail
will
because
I'm
not
a
mountain
biker,
I'm
a
trail
runner
and
I
can
beat
most
bikers
going
uphill
and
some
of
them
going
downhill
on
those
super
windy
ones,
but
locally
in
saratoga
we're
just
going
to
open.
In
the
first
week
of
november,
the
saratoga
to
the
sea
trail
60
years
in
the
making
we
just
completed
the
last
3.4
mile
segment
out
of
the
back
of
saratoga.
H
Unfortunately,
the
terrain
and
the
way
that
the
trail
is
laid
out
is
not
suitable
for
mountain
bikers,
but
we
are
working
on
our
open
space
and
our
circulation
elements
which
are
part
of
our
general
plan
and
those
are
going
to
wrap
up
early
in
2021.
So
you
can
go
to
the
saratoga
website
and
find
out
about
our
general
plan
updates
and
in
those
plans,
is
where
we
talk
about
opportunities
for
more
bike
lanes,
be
all
the
classes
that
susan
talked
about
so
go
to
the
website,
get
involved
with
the
general
plan.
E
H
H
We
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
crimes,
so
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
doing
investigations,
but
there
aren't
many
muggings
in
beatings,
and
so
they
do
spend
a
significant
amount
of
their
time.
Helping
the
citizenry
our
citizens
are
used
to
that.
But
if
you
live
in
another
sort
of
city
I
came
from
near
richmond,
california,
the
police
mostly
have
to
be
enforcers
because
there's
so
many
other
social
issues
going
on,
and
so
we
need
to
mend
the
dynamic
between
the
public
and
the
police.
G
So,
like
saratoga,
we
contract
with
the
santa
clara
county
sheriff
for
law
enforcement.
You
know
one
advantage
of
that.
Cupertino
and
saratoga
have
extremely
low
per
capita
policing
costs,
but
looking
at
other
cities
and
even
ours,
the
issue
is
the
police
have
been
called
on
to
do
way
too
many
things
as
other
services
have
been
defunded,
so
they
need
to
be
mental
health
experts,
experts
in
homelessness
experts
in
domestic
abuse.
G
They
get
called
on
for
neighbor
disputes.
When
we
have
one
name,
one
person
complaining
that
their
neighbor
put
some
potted
plants
across
the
property
line
and
they
call
the
police
to
come
out
for
that
and
the
issue
is
there's
so
many
other
services
that
used
to
exist
to
address
these
issues
and
they've
been
slowly
defunded
and
the
police
have
had
to
deal
with
these
so
long
term.
G
When
I
hear
defund
the
police,
you
know,
I
think,
there's
something
to
that,
but
when
you
defund
the
police,
you
have
to
fund
all
these
other
services
and
then
let
the
police
do
what
they
were
designed
to
do.
Stop
crimes,
investigate
crimes
and
let
all
these
other
agencies
deal
with
things.
That
really
may
not
require
a
police
officer
to
come
out,
but
it's
a
misnomer
to
think
it's
going
to
cost
us
less
to
do
that,
it's
going
to
actually
end
up
costing
us
more
thanks.
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
agree
with
what
the
other
two
mayors
have
stated,
and
I
I
think
I'll
highlight
what
mayor
miller
said.
Is
it's
the
culture
that
is
created
in
the
department
and
the
culture
sets?
The
tone
for
the
behavior
of
the
rest
of
the
department
campbell
is
on
the
high
end
of
excellence
when
it
comes
to
how
we
deal
with
our
community.
F
F
E
F
Landry
I
was
on
mutant,
I
took
okay,
so
I
would
hope
that
people
would
kids
would
start
asking
about
what
planning
is
being
done
in
the
future.
Mayor
miller
mentioned
the
general
plan.
These
are
plans
that
establish
the
framework
for
the
how
the
city
will
be
built
out
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
what
a
general
plan
is,
and
I
wish
you
had
asked
the
question
so
that
we
could
have
described
why
it's
so
important
and
what
is
needed
to
be
put
in
there.
F
Traffic
is
another
issue,
and
one
thing
that's
very
important
right
now
is
our
climate
action
plan
that
we're
working
on.
So
I
would
like
to
have
you
asked
about
that
and
in
closing
I
just
want
to
really
thank
you
all
for
inviting
me
to
participate.
You
guys
are
very
well
organized.
You
are
very
professional.
F
I've
seen
more
professional
presentation
out
of
you
right
now
than
I've
seen
out
of
a
lot
of
council
meetings,
and
I
think
it's
great
that
you
guys
are
engaging
in
the
political
process
at
an
early
age
and
go
for
it
think
big,
who
knows.
Maybe
a
bunch
of
these
women
will
be
met.
Presidents,
someday.
G
A
question
about
sustainability
would
have
been
good.
It's
on
my
mind,
because
yesterday,
at
the
league
of
california,
city's
virtual
conference
cupertino
received,
what's
called
the
vanguard,
platinum
award
for
sustainability,
greenhouse
gas
reduction.
There's
only
four
cities
in
the
state
that
have
ever
received
this
and
cupertino
is
the
only
one
for
2020..
G
So
so
many
things
come
back
to
sustainability
and
there's
so
and
it's
something
that
we
can
all
really
have
an
effect
on.
If
I
go
out
and
hang
my
clothes
on
my
clothes
line
instead
of
turning
on
the
gas
dryer,
it
doesn't
really
take
much
more
time,
but
I've
had
a
positive
effect.
If
I
ride
my
bike
to
trader
joe's
or
the
city
hall
instead
of
hopping
in
the
car,
which
is
a
little
easier,
it
has
an
effect
and
we're
setting
examples
for
others
to
do
the
same.
G
So
tomorrow
I
have
a
sustainability
forum,
so
I'm
probably
getting
ready
for
that
now,
but
I
think
it's
an
issue
that
the
youth
are
really
involved
in,
and
it's
really
your
future.
It's
so
important
for
our
planet
to
look,
look
to
a
sustainable
environment
and
we're
trying
to
do
more.
In
cupertino,
we
want
to
do
something
about
single-use
plastics,
which
is
a
very
big
issue
and
looking
forward.
We
already
have
that
on
our
work
plan
and
we'll
be
looking
at
it
late,
probably
early
next
year.
H
Does
that
not
sound
like
in
my
city,
preserve
saratoga
right
where
our
schools
are
going
to
be
overcrowded?
If
we
build
affordable
housing?
Does
this
not
sound
like
some
people
may
be
in
in
cupertino
or
campbell
in
our
very
cities,
we
would
rather
close
our
elementary
schools.
Blue
hills
is
on
the
chopping
blocks
of
cupertino
union.
We
every
single
one
of
our
schools,
has
lost
one
kindergarten
and
one
first
grade
class.
Since
I've
moved
to
saratoga.
H
E
I
J
I've
been
taking
art
lessons
at
hong
ying
art
since
I
was
six
and
they've
been
a
huge
part
of
my
life
ever
since,
so
it
started
off
as
art
lessons,
but
soon
they
started
a
teacher's
assistant
program
where
they
had
students,
basically
helping
other
students,
and
that
gave
me
a
huge
confidence
boost
and
they've.
Also,
given
me
a
lot
of
guidance
in
my
life
and
in
pushing
me
to
try
out
new
things
and
just
pushing
me
past
my
comfort
zone.
J
So
when
I
started
volunteering
at
sunnyview
retirement
center,
when
they
were
giving
me
the
tour
around
the
retirement
center,
they
just
mentioned
really
quickly
that
a
couple
years
back,
someone
was
leading
work,
art
workshops,
but
she
graduated.
So
the
art
workshops
no
longer
existed
one
day.
I
just
randomly
thought
wait
if
they
used
to
have
art
workshops.
I
can
start
this
again.
I
can
also
add
my
own
touch
to.
J
J
I
also
got
a
bunch
of
students
at
home
art
to
come
over
and
help
me
lead
these
workshops,
and
this
gave
them
a
great
opportunity
for
interacting
with
senior
citizens
which
they
might
not
have
the
opportunity
to
do
so
in
their
daily
lives,
and
this
intergenerational
exchange
would
be
a
really
great
opportunity
for
them
as
well.
In
addition
to
brightening
up,
a
bunch
of
senior
citizens
lives
at
the
same
time,
so
I
definitely
want
to
continue
volunteering,
because
my
community
has
helped
me
in
several
ways.
J
E
During
our
first
round
of
discussions,
we
focused
on
local
issues
with
the
mayors
of
campbell,
cupertino
and
saratoga
for
our
second
round,
we'll
be
talking
with
state
assembly,
member
evan,
lowe,
a
pizza
and
politics
veteran
before
he
was
elected
to
the
state
assembly
in
2014
assembly.
Member
lowe
served
as
the
mayor
of
the
campbell
city
council
assembly,
member
lowe
is
running
again
for
the
state
assembly's
district
28
seat,
which
represents
cupertino
campbell,
saratoga
and
other
areas
of
santa
clara
county
assembly.
Member
lowe
is
being
challenged
by
republican
candidate,
mr
carlos
rafael,
cruz.
K
K
It
said
you
are
the
future,
but
no
you're,
in
fact,
the
present,
and
no
better
sense
of
that
this
coming
november,
25
some
odd
days
away,
to
which
you
can
also
think
about
a
statewide
proposition,
which
is
that
of
proposition
18
to
allow
for
those
who
will
be
18
years
of
age
by
the
general
election
to
vote
in
primaries.
What
an
incredible
way
to
ensure
that
young
people
can
exercise
their
right
to
vote.
K
But
again,
I've
stopped
off
safely
here
in
a
parking
lot
on
my
way
from
sacramento
back
home
to
the
south
bay
to
be
able
to
join
you
here
tonight
because
of
the
importance
of
having
dialogue
within
our
democracy.
What's
increasingly
important
as
well
is
to
recognize
what
government
is
about
and
what
democracy
is
about.
K
Oftentimes
you'll
hear
that
politics
is
a
dirty
word
or
that
it's
polarizing,
when
in
fact
we
realize
that
our
democracy
is
indeed
fragile
and
it's
okay
to
have
disagreements
it's
okay,
to
debate
issues,
but
what
is
also
increasingly
important
to
remember
is
that
we
are
all
trying
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
to
be
invested
in
each
other's
shared
in
our
process.
It
is
our
obligation,
it
is
our
duty
to
be
active
citizens,
and
I
hope
that
will
be
reminded
of
that
each
and
every
day.
E
E
K
E
Thank
you.
Our
first
question
for
you
today
is
aca.
5
is
a
constitutional
amendment
that
will
be
on
california
voters
november
ballot.
This
amendment
will
repeal
proposition
209
and
allow
universities
in
california
to
bring
back
affirmative
action
during
college
admissions.
You
recently
voted
yes
on
aca
5..
Can
you
tell
us
why
you
voted
in
favor
of
the
amendment.
K
That's
why
we've
seen
bipartisan
support
on
this
issue,
and
yes,
let
us
recognize
that
this
is
a
difficult
conversation
about
race,
about
sharing
power,
but
that's
what
our
democracy
is
about
and
if
anything
shows
us
with
respect
to
the
issue
on
the
george
floyd
killing
and
the
unconditional
ship
that
is
required
for
us
to
live
in
a
democracy
and
helping
lift
up
all
communities.
That's
what
this
conversation
is
about.
That's
why
I
made
the
decision
to
support
it
in
the
legislature
and
that's
why
I
enthusiastically
support
it
now.
E
K
Thank
you.
I've
been
a
champion
for
all
the
issues
with
respect
to
individual
privacy
and
the
protections
that
exist
for
all
consumers.
It's
important
that
we
again
in
the
state
of
california,
recognize
that
we
have
a
unique
opportunity,
specifically
in
silicon
valley,
which
is
to
say
that
we
recognize
the
innovation
that
occurs
the
innovation
and
the
technologies
that
exist
for
us
to
thrive,
while
also
making
sure
that
we
prioritize
consumer
protection.
K
That's
why
I'm
honored
by
the
capacity
and
position
I
have
as
the
chairman
in
the
assembly
committee
of
the
business
and
professions
committee,
which
is
that
of
the
most
priority
of
consumer
protection
with
respect
to
campaign
finance.
It
is
such
that
I
receive
campaign
contributions
from
a
wide
variety
of
businesses,
including
that
of
that
of
the
tech
company,
that
of
silicon
valley,
and
I'm
proud
of
the
support
that
I
have
and
representing
all
of
us
in
sacramento.
E
Thank
you.
Your
next
question
is
california.
Schools
are
among
the
nation's
most
underfunded.
California
spends
significantly
less
per
student
than
most
of
the
other
states,
which
really
affects
the
education
that
our
students
receive.
There
has
also
been
a
cut
in
the
budget
for
ucs
as
well.
What
steps
are
you
taking
to
solve
this
problem
and
to
help
give
students
a
better
education.
K
Kelly,
it's
dawned
on
us,
and
we
should
know
this-
that
we
live
in
a
community
environment
in
which
we
have
one
of
the
most
valuable
companies,
if
not
one
number,
two
most
valuable
companies
in
the
world,
known
as
apple
and
yet
in
the
cupertino
school
district,
five
consecutive
years
of
cuts
and
now
proposals
looking
like
may
have
to
shut
down
some
schools
and
or
share
principles
and
our
other
staff.
At
the
same
time.
K
At
the
same
time,
there
was
a
revenue
measure
for
the
kupukino
school
district
to
raise
revenues
to
be
able
to
pay
for
the
essential
city,
the
essential
school
services
for
the
cupertino
school
district
and
unfortunately
that
was
voted
down.
So
I
will
speak
truth
to
power,
which
is
to
say
that
if
we
value
our
community,
if
we
value
our
school
district,
then
we
must
recognize
the
importance
of
basic
budgeting.
K
It's
important
that
we
look
for
alternate
resources
for
reform
and
also
different
funding
formulas
from
the
state
and
that's
what
we'll
continue
to
do.
But
what
we
need
to
recognize
is
also
the
inequities
that
exist
and
should
big
corporations
pay
their
fair
share.
And
I
say
yes
and
that's
why
I'm
also
in
favor
of
proposition
15,
which
ensures
that
we
close
the
loophole
to
ensure
that
our
major
corporations
pay
their
fair
share,
as
we
all
do
as
individual
citizens.
E
K
K
That's
why
again,
I
am
passionate
about
ensuring
that
we
instill
lifelong
habitual
learning,
voting
and
engagement
for
young
people
and
again
that's
proposition
18..
That's
why
I
have
proposals
for
election
day
holiday
to
make
election
day
holiday
in
the
state
of
california
to
ensure
that
all
people
will
take
an
opportunity
to
engage
and
exercise
their
right
to
vote
and
hold
public
representatives.
Like
me,
accountable
to
people
like
you,
so
again
it's
about
civic
engagement,
that's
what
I
think
is
overlooked.
We
must
reinvest
in
our
democracy.
E
K
And
yes,
we
will
see
proposals
additional
proposals
for
wildfire
relief,
but
we
also
need
to
recognize
the
importance
of
federal
engagement,
that
less
than
20
of
the
force
in
open
space
are
that
of
state
lands.
Much
of
it
is
private
and
federal
lands,
so
we
must
partner
and
recognize
that
engagement
and
the
partnership
that
is
required
for
this.
Unfortunately,
we
also
recognize
this
as
a
new
norm,
but
we
should
be
expecting
better
and
that's
why,
when
we
think
about
the
federal
administration,
they
can
print
money
overnight.
We,
unfortunately
in
the
state
of
california.
K
We
don't
have
that
luxury
of
printing
money
overnight,
and
we
must
constitutionally
balance
the
budget.
We
cannot
go
bankrupt.
We
constitutionally
must
balance
our
budget
and,
again,
that's
why
we
will
rely
on
our
federal
partners
to
advocate
for
the
infrastructure
and
the
resources
to
address
this
climate
change
issue
with
respect
to
wildfires.
E
Thank
you.
A
lot
of
our
audience.
Members
will
be
heading
off
to
college.
In
the
coming
years
they
will
hopefully
graduate
probably
incur
debt
from
student
loans
and
maybe
land
a
well-paying,
full-time
job.
However,
they
have
to
face
something
most.
American
teenagers
do
not
the
highest
cost
of
living
in
the
country.
How
are
you
planning
to
address
affordable
housing.
K
Yeah
kelly,
when
we
we've
seen
reports
that
individuals
may
need
the
median
it's
a
range
one
needs
to
earn
close
to
275
000
to
live
in
our
region
here,
just
in
cupertino
and
that's
a
challenge
kelly.
Did
you
know
that
the
governor,
the
chief
executive
for
the
fifth
largest
economy
in
the
world
that
is
gavin
newsom
the
governor,
does
not
qualify
and
make
275
000?
K
And
yet,
when
we
think
about
the
challenges,
don't
feel
sorry
for
the
governor
but
think
about
the
generations
that
you're
part
of
that
you're,
letting
up
to
your
end
of
the
bargain
and
yet
you're
set
up
for
failure
not
for
success
and
that's
why
I'm
so
deeply
passionate
about
ensuring
that
we
have
access
to
affordable
housing
and
we
need
to
reframe
this
this
notion
of
protectionism
that
previous
generations
we've
had
it.
So,
therefore
we
don't
want
others
to
have
it
this
notion
of
single
family
zoning.
We
must
have
a
wide
variety
of
this
and
oftentimes.
K
It
is
controversial
and
it's
fair.
I
recognize
that,
but
if
we
recognize
that
this
is
a
supply
and
demand
issue,
how
are
we
collectively
doing
our
part?
And
there
lies
part
of
the
challenge
that
exists
between
the
state
and
local
control
and
again
I
come
from
local
government.
Now,
I'm
wearing
a
state
hat
and
there
lies
part
of
that
tension.
But
let
us
address
this
issue
at
hand
to
encourage
as
much
access
as
possible.
E
K
Well,
as
a
millennial
as
one
of
the
younger
members
of
the
legislature,
you've
seen
my
passion,
that
is,
we
have
proposition
18
because
of
something
that
I've
tried
to
propose
three
to
three
times
in
a
row
and
it
wasn't
successful
the
first
time,
which
was
my
proposals
to
encourage
17
year
old
voting,
which
we
see
now
in
proposition
18.
so
long
as
they
are
18
by
the
general
election.
K
That
is
my
passion,
because
I
recognize
that.
That's
why
I
got
involved
kelly,
which
was
that
I
didn't
feel
like
the
system
supported
young
people
and
that
I
too
had
struggled
to
put
food
on
the
table.
I
too
struggled
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
the
community
that
I
was
born
in,
so
it
would
recognize
that
that
is
just
so
inherent
in
who
I
am
that
this
is
my
community,
and
this
is
these-
are
the
values
that
I
share.
E
K
I
have
a
proposal
on
universal
basic
income
kelly.
This
was
a
crazy
idea
before,
but
this
notion
of
the
first
piece
of
legislation
that
I
proposed
on
universal
basic
income,
which
is
that
every
californian
every
citizen
should
be
entitled
to
that
of
basic
income
and
we've
seen
elements
of
basic
income
and
the
federal
stimulus
as
a
result
of
the
copic
pandemic.
K
That
is
to
say
that
republicans
democrats,
all
supported
basic
income,
they've
seen
key
elements
of
this
in
the
number
of
pilots
throughout
the
country,
and
we
have
seen
a
number
of
proposals
even
in
the
state
of
california,
as
pilots.
We've
seen
them
in
stockton
and
we've
seen
the
mayor
of
long
beach
in
los
angeles
and
others
supporting
this.
But
that
is
my
proposal
to
ensure
that
we
have
basic
income
so
that
everyone
has
a
basic
floor
to
be
able
to
have
the
decency
as
a
californian
and
as
american
citizen.
E
K
When
you
think
about
that
of
transportation
options,
we
need
to
be
innovative,
which
is
why
we
need
to
revamp
and
reform
how
we
get
into
our
cars
and
look
at
the
future.
That's
why
we
need
to
really
take
a
look
closely
at
the
high-speed
rail
proposal
that,
by
the
way,
was
supported
by
the
electorate.
Again,
let
me
repeat
that
it
was
supported.
Funding
was
supported
by
the
electorate.
K
We
need
to
make
sure
that
there
is
fiscal
responsibility
in
the
development,
because
it's
about
the
future,
every
other
industrialized
country
has
some
elements
of
high-speed
rail,
but
that's
the
direction
that
we
need
to
go
in,
especially
in
the
direction
of
california.
We
want
to
get
rid
of
fossil
fuels
and
focus
on
the
renewables.
That's
the
direction
that
we
need
to
head
in
and
that's
the
direction
that
we
must
invest
in.
E
K
Get
an
internship
find
opportunities
to
be
on
social
media
and
stay
connected
talk
tweet
at
me,
tweet
at
your
local
representatives
meet
with
them,
get
to
know
who
they
are
because
you'll
find
out.
After
the
exterior
of
a
politician,
there
are
normal,
regular
people
just
like
everyone
else.
They
are
your
mothers,
your
fathers,
your
cousins,
your
friends,
your
neighbors.
K
We
are
just
like
everybody
else,
so
stay
connected
and
then
lastly,
focus
that
on
proposition
18
on
how
young
people
can
be
empowered,
it's
not
just
lip
service,
not
just
rhetoric,
but
an
actual
opportunity
for
young
people,
teenagers
to
exercise
their
right
to
vote.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
you'll
continue
to
do
that.
K
I
know
that
my
time
is
very
limited
and,
as
you
can
see
the
it's
getting
dark
now,
so
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time,
but
I'm
so
grateful
for
the
time
that
you've
provided
me
to
have
dialogue
and
I'm
so
passionate
and
encouraged
and
optimistic
about
the
next
generation.
I
won't
be
here
forever
and
I'm
inspired
by
the
next
generation
of
young
people
who
will
take
the
mantle
and
make
our
community
proud.
E
K
K
But
we
in
california
don't
have
that
in
law,
and
so
we
have
had
a
history
of
the
direction
of
the
state
encouraging
access
to
entry,
whereas
in
other
states
they're
increasing
barriers
by
having
voter
id
laws,
whereas
in
california
we
already
had
automated
voter
registration
at
16
and
17
prepaid
postage
on
your
absentee
ballots
again
encouraging
that
of
the
youth
vote.
And
now
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
empower
by
making
election
day
holiday
in
the
state
of
california.
E
K
That
is
the
obligation
that
we
have
so
naturally,
our
democracy
is
fragile
and
it's
important
that
we
engage
in
this
process.
Yes,
of
course
it
is
sometimes
messy,
but
it's
important
that
we
engage
as
much
as
possible.
It's
our
obligation
and
it's
our
duty
to
be
able
to
do
so,
and
I
hope
that
we'll
think
about
politics
and
government
in
a
different
way.
E
I
L
My
name
is
aina
rota,
I'm
17
years
old
and
I've
lived
in
cupertino.
My
whole
life,
inna
talent,
actually
began
out
of
a
history
of
volunteering.
I
was
14
when
I
started
volunteering
at
a
senior
center
in
palo
alto
and
initially
I
had
just
been
there
to
clean
dishes
and
spend
time
with
the
seniors,
and
I
had
a
lot
more
free
time.
It
was
the
beginning
of
high
school,
and
so
I
was
dancing
a
lot.
So
I
would
always
talk
about
my
adventures
at
dance
class
and
one
of
the
frequent
questions
was.
L
When
can
we
see
you?
When
can
we
see
you
me
and
my
mom
made
that
happen?
We
asked
the
senior
center
if
it
would
be
okay
if
I
came
and
performed
one
time
and
thankfully
they
allowed
me
to-
and
the
reaction
was
really
overwhelmingly
positive
again
I
was
14
15.
I
didn't
know
what
a
501c3
was,
so
my
mom
was
really
helpful.
She
kind
of
got
the
ball
rolling
with
the
paperwork
and
gave
me
the
reins
for
the
creative
aspect.
L
I
reached
out
to
one
of
my
friends
and
we
both
led
it
together.
My
mom
knew
someone
she
had
a
little
son,
maybe
four
or
five
years
old,
and
it
was
just
basically
the
three
of
us.
Now.
Two
years
later,
we've
got
around
40
to
50,
independent
volunteers
and
we've
partnered,
with
a
bunch
of
schools,
dance
schools,
singing
schools
who
have
bought
into
our
ideology
and
our
philosophy.
L
I've
been
doing
indian
classical
dance,
since
I
was
two
and
a
half
to
three
years
old
and
many
of
them
being.
However
old
they
are
have
never
seen
anything
like
that
in
their
life.
So
it
seems
like
a
perfect
handshake
where
it's
a
symbiotic
relationship
where
we're
both
kind
of
benefiting
each
other
in
in
different
ways.

The
two
democratic
candidates
are
running
for
the
state
senate's
district
15
seat,
which
represents
cupertino
campbell,
saratoga
and
other
areas
of
santa
clara
county.
A
state
senator
is
in
charge
of
creating
and
voting
on
legislation
that
either
changes
existing
laws
or
makes
new
ones
before
we
begin.
Our
candidates
are
here
tonight
to
engage
the
youth
audiences
watching
from
campbell
cupertino
and
saratoga.
E
E
N
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me,
I'm
so
happy
to
be
here
and
it's
been
an
exciting
campaign
for
me
all
along.
You
know
I
was
raised
here
all
the
way
back
to
the
agricultural
days
as
a
young
person
working
in
the
orchards
and
growing
up
in
that
kind
of
environment
and
then
seeing
you
know
the
growth
and
the
change
to
an
urbanized
environment.
What
we
now
call
silicon
valley.
N
So
it's
been
a
great
perspective
and,
as
I
became
of
age
and
started
my
own
career,
my
business
career,
I
went
I
I
ran
for
school
board
and
I
served
on
the
east
side
high
school
district
board
of
trustees,
which
was
a
tremendous
experience
for
eight
years,
and
I
led
the
effort
to
build
the
first
new
high
school
in
silicon
valley
in
25
years.
Evergreen
valley,
high
school
at
that
time.
So
I
had
a
wonderful
experience
working
with
the
community.
N
I
went
on
to
serve
on
the
san
jose
city
council,
including
two
years
as
vice
mayor
of
san
jose
and
then
in
2008.
The
year
president
obama
was
first
elected.
I
was
elected
to
the
board
of
supervisors
and
I've
been
serving
there
for
11
and
a
half
years
and
working
on
many
of
the
issues
we'll
be
talking
about
today.
Climate
housing,
homelessness,
justice
reform
and
issues.
N
Which
we
still
work
on
a
great
deal
at
the
county,
so
I'm
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
work
in
the
state
senate.
I
feel
that
those
credentials
and
that
work
I've
done
particularly
the
last
11
half
years
in
the
county,
prepare
me
to
land
on
my
feet
running
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all.
There.
E
O
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
have
worked
at
every
single
level
of
government,
both
at
the
county
level
as
the
county
council.
I'm
a
lawyer
as
well
as
the
federal
government
appointed
by
and
working
with
president
obama
twice
in
the
white
house
actually,
and
president
obama
has
endorsed
me
and
also
appointed
by
jerry
brown
to
the
california,
fair
political
practices.
Commission.
O
I
grew
up
in
chile
and
moved
here
when
I
was
11
to
san
jose
and
I
actually
worked
in
the
fields
because
I
needed
to
get
money
to
go
to
college,
and
that
is
something
that
you
could
do
in
those
days
and
people
in
your
generation.
Unfortunately
can't-
and
so
I
was
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
come
from
a
low-income
background
and
yet
be
able
to
be
appointed
by
the
president
of
the
united
states.
O
Twice
I
in
all
of
my
jobs,
I've
used
my
public
service
career
to
work
for
the
people,
and
I
don't
bend
to
the
power
of
a
single
group
or
or
a
single
industry,
and
what
I've
done
is
written
legislation
started
programs
that
help
children.
Students
go
against
big
corporations
and
I've
written
legislation
in
the
state
legislature,
which
my
opponent
has
not.
E
O
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it
clearly.
Climate
change
issues
are
at
a
crisis
level
and
we
have
to
step
up
what
we
are.
What
we
need
to
do
for
one
thing,
I
would
support
and
insist
on
sustainable
farming,
more
electrification,
more
wind
and
solar,
and
that
the
state
should
be
investing
together
with
a
private
industry
in
more
batteries
that
can
actually
keep
that
wind
and
solar
power
in
a
way
that
it
can
be
usable.
So
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
electric
grid.
N
Thank
you.
I've
had
this
tremendous
opportunity
to
work
on
on
climate
issues,
going
all
the
way
back
to
my
time,
as
vice
mayor
of
the
city
of
san
jose,
where
we
rolled
out
something
called
the
green
vision
which
became
a
national
model
for
cities,
municipal
governments
in
terms
of
climate
and
stewardship
goals,
environmental
stewardship
goals,
and
I
got
to
the
county
board
of
supervisors.
N
I
co-authored
the
county's
first
climate
stewardship
goals,
I'm
very
honored
in
this
campaign
to
have
the
sole
endorsement
of
sunrise.
Silicon
valley,
I'm
also
endorsed
by
the
sierra
club,
the
league
of
conservation
voters
and
other
environmental
groups,
and
I
think
part
of
that
is
because
of
the
work
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
do
with
the
county.
I
called
for
the
first
solar
farms
in
santa
clara
county
created
by
county
government.
N
E
Thank
you.
Our
next
question
is
from
the
audience
currently
democrats
hold
a
super
majority
in
both
houses,
as
well
as
the
governorship.
What
issues
do
you
feel
you
need
to
work
in
a
bipartisan
manner
with
republicans
and
which
ones
do
you
think
are
too
important
to
compromise,
we'll
start
with
supervisor
cortessi.
N
Well,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
issues
most
issues.
The
public
would
like
us
to
see
us
work
in
a
bipartisan
way.
You
know
to
to
move
california
forward.
That's
the
first
goal
to
bring
back
the
quality
of
our
education,
so
education
funding
is
a
problem.
I'm
a
strong
supporter
and
the
only
candidate
in
this
race.
That's
a
strong
supporter
of
prop
15,
which
I
think
will
bring
much
needed
revenue
to
our
schools.
N
N
There's
there's
fighting
about
production
and
how
are
we
going
to
produce
housing
to
keep
up
with
job
growth
where
we're
losing
that
race
right
now,
six
to
one
in
the
bay
area?
That's
the
kind
of
work
where
it
should
be
bipartisan.
It
shouldn't
be
about
republicans
or
democrats
or
moderates
or
progressives.
It
should
be
about
your
future,
the
future
of
the
opportunity
for
housing,
the
right
that
everyone
in
california
has
to
housing
that
that
really
needs
to
be
emphasized
and
I'll
do
that
in
the
state
legislature.
O
What
the
facts
are,
what
the
data
is
and
find
ways
to
get
the
best
results
for
everybody
and,
in
my
opinion,
the
only
way
you
do
that
is
by
talking
both
across
the
aisle
and
with
people
who
aren't
so
polarized
like
some,
like
my
opponent,
to
who
will
only
be
with
one
special
interest.
What
you
do
is
you
talk
to
everybody
and
try
to
come
to
rational,
thoughtful
solutions
that
meet
people's
needs,
and
that
would
be
true
about
homelessness.
It
would
be
true
about
housing.
It
would
be
true
about
education.
O
It
would
be
true
about
climate
and
the
issues
that
we
face
regarding
climate
and
there
is
no
better
time
to
stop
the
polarization
and
stop
people
who
are
making
decisions
based
on
their
special
interests
that
support
them
and
instead
try
to
work
with
everyone
to
help
your
generation
get
ahead
and
help
change.
This
state.
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Our
question
is:
california
is
currently
facing
a
huge
housing
crisis
that
has
only
been
exacerbated
by
the
loss
of
houses
during
the
recent
wildfires.
There
are
currently
over
150
000
individuals
in
california
that
do
not
have
a
place
to
call
home,
miss
ravel.
If
elected.
How
would
you
work
to
help
address
the
housing
crisis.
O
Well,
clearly,
the
housing
crisis
is
urgent
and
how
I
would
work
to
deal
with.
It
is
number
one
for
people
who
cannot
afford
homes.
There
should
be
either
investments
in
their
ability
to
give
debt
to
pay
down
payments
and
to
become
able
to
live
in
those
homes,
and
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
affordable
housing
and
you're
talking
about
people
getting
homeless
and
some
of
the
bills
that
have
been
out
like
sb
50.
O
We
should
invest
in
more
modular
housing
and
make
sure
that
zoning
laws
are
changed
so
that
they
can
be
built
more
quickly.
We
have
to
help
fund
local
governments
that
can't
like
saratoga
and
others
that
can't
necessarily
afford
some
of
these
things
and
we
have
to
change
sequa,
which
has
been
used
by
unions,
often
to
hold
up
housing
development.
E
N
But
it's
it's
also
priced
people
out
of
the
rental
market.
It's
created
a
very
tight
rental
market
with
so
little
vacancy
that
you
know
if
a
mom
with
two
kids
in
school
in
the
middle
of
a
semester
gets
a
30-day
notice
or
a
60-day
notice,
she's
likely
to
have
to
take
those
kids
out
of
school
and
maybe
can't
find
another
apartment
or
another
house
to
rent
in
the
same
school
district
and
that's
how
tight
the
market's
been.
So
what
we
need
is
production
primarily.
N
I
think
people
know
that
I
did
support
sb50
and
worked
with
the
author
to
to
get
amendments
made
to
that
bill.
So
it
was
a
bill
that
respected
local
rules
like
zoning
and
general
plans,
while
at
the
same
time
I'm
streamlining
the
effort,
and
I
will
continue
to
support
legislation
like
that,
but
also
support
the
creation
of
a
statewide
housing
finance
agency,
like
they
have
in
the
state
of
new
york,
which
is
produce
billions
of
dollars
of
affordable
housing
by
investing
in
affordable
housing
with
private
sector
partners,
municipal
partners
and
non-profit
partners.
N
E
N
It's
a
it's
a
huge
issue
as
a
young
person
myself
who
was
working
for
wages
too
embarrassing
to
describe
to
you,
I
used
to
work
32
hours
a
week
during
my
time
at
both
santa
cruz
university
and
the
university
of
california
davis,
but
I
could
afford
my
own
apartment,
rent,
my
own
groceries
and
my
tuition,
believe
it
or
not,
and
that's
where
the
difference
is.
The
minimum
wage
is
still
way
too
low
it's
higher
than
it
was
back.
N
N
O
O
The
fact
is
that
I
went
to
law
school
and
I
paid
two
thousand
dollars
and
I
worked
my
way
as
a
waitress
paid,
two
thousand
dollars
a
semester
for
law
school
and
now
that
same
law,
school
uc.
Hastings
is
forty
thousand
dollars,
that's
ridiculous
and
we
want
people
to
be
able
to
achieve
in
our
state,
and
that
would
be
a
priority
of
mine
to
assure
that
everyone
has
accessible
ability
to
get
to
the
colleges
without
debt.
That's
going
to
create
problems
for
them
in
the
future.
E
Thank
you.
Our
next
question
has
been
a
recurring
audience.
Question
multiple
deaths
of
citizens
at
the
hands
of
police
have
sparked
protests
for
reform
across
the
country
for
preventing
discrimination
against
people
of
color.
What
do
you
believe
should
be
done
in
order
to
improve
police
accountability
and
prevent
police
brutality
in
california?
We'll
start
with
miss
ravel.
O
Thank
you.
This
is
something
that
I
have
been
very
strong
on
right
from
the
beginning
number
one
we
need
to
have
the
independent
groups
and
I've
called
for
this
publicly
independent
groups
that
are
investigating
police
issues
as
well
as
recommending
and
and
having
power
over
the
discipline
or
the
removal
of
police
officers.
O
I
also
from
the
beginning-
and
my
opponent
does
not
believe
that
we
need
to
be
very
public
about
police
officers,
personnel
files
when
they
have
been
convicted
or
accused
of
crimes
or
other
untruthful,
improper
behavior,
so
that
the
public
knows
that
you
shouldn't
be
rehiring,
those
in
other
police
departments
and
then.
Finally,
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
have
at
the
post
level.
O
I
also
believe
that
we
have
to
change
the
way
we
do
policing
just
in
general
and
assure
that
police
are
not
the
only
ones
going
out
to
calls
when
there
are
people
who
are
mentally
ill.
When
there
are
people
who
it
are
accused
of
certain
other
things
that
it
should
be
social
workers
and
mental
health
professionals
that
go.
N
Yeah
thanks
very
much
I
mean
the
justice
reform
has
been
something
that
I've
worked
on
for
a
long
time
over
a
number
of
years
and
I'm
happy
to
see
the
the
attention
that
it's
getting
now
and
the
movement,
especially
among
young
people,
to
call
for
further
reform
and
further
change.
I
think,
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
that
the
the
protests
that
happened
were
appropriate,
I
thought
they
were
intending
to
be
peaceful,
especially
in
our
area.
N
N
It's
not
okay
for
them
to
use,
karate
holds
choke,
holds
and
and
rubber
bullets
and
aggressive,
really
violent
activities
when
they're
dealing
with
not
only
public
protests,
piece
of
peaceful
public
protests,
but
also
non-violent
incidents
like
a
dui
or
somebody
who
is
suffering
from
mental
health
issues.
Somebody
who's
on
houzz
who's
wandering
around
having
having
a
mental
health
episode.
N
We
need
crisis
intervention
people
to
respond
there
at
best
community
police,
but
not
badges
and
guns.
I
have
supported
and
adopted
as
a
county
supervisor,
eight
can't
wait
in
our
own
county
and
created
an
oversight
officer
in
our
own
county
in
the
process
of
creating
a
civilian
oversight
board
for
our
own
law
enforcement.
Those
are
all
values
that
I'll
carry
forward.
E
N
Well,
I
think
you
know
maybe
a
little
bit
more
opportunity
to
speak
about
background
in
the
beginning.
You
know
90
seconds
isn't
a
lot
of
time,
although
I
think
both
candidates
are
getting
used
to
trying
to
respond
quickly
and
in
these
kind
of
formats.
But
you
know
I'm
I'm
I'm
not
only
from
here
but
invested
here
at
the
level
of
education,
the
level
of
city
or
municipal
government
and
county
government
in
our
neighborhoods
in
our
schools.
I've
come
out
to
your
schools
and
to
speak
with
students.
N
I've
had
that
really
hands-on
opportunity
to
have
my
own
staff
supporting
the
youth
climate
strike.
For
example,
we've
worked
with
faith
communities
through
this
covid
crisis,
which
we
didn't
talk
about
much
tonight
to
to
help
them
deal
with
the
protocols
and
the
challenges
to
carrying
out
their
activities
safely.
But
that
wasn't
unusual
for
me.
That's
where
I
spend
my
time
with
our
neighborhoods
with
our
ptas,
with
our
faith
community
with
our
schools
with
our
students.
N
It's
what
I
do.
I've
been
leading
a
bus
trip
to
sacramento
to
fight
for
education
funding
for
the
last
11
years,
which
is
now
five
buses
and
300
people,
including
students
that
go
every
year
and
we
get
a
committee
room
and
we
call
the
legislators
and
hold
their
feet
to
the
fire.
So
I'm
I
am
used
to
working
and
tested
at
working
with
people
here
in
our
community
in
our
neighborhoods.
N
O
Thank
you.
Yes,
you
did
have
a
question
that
I
thought
was
really
important
to
answer
and
that
had
to
do
with
what
changes
are
important
in
state
government
to
make
it
function
better,
and
there
are
a
few
things
that
relate
to
whatever
my
closing
will
also
be,
which
is,
I
think
that
it's
unfortunate,
that
a
lot
of
people
who
are
career
politicians
just
go
because
they
want
another
high
position
and
really
what
needs
to
happen
at
the
state
legislature.
O
But,
finally,
what
really
I
think
has
to
happen
is
we
have
to
be
thoughtful
about
what
the
state's
priorities
are
and
have
someone
who's
willing
to
look
at
those
things
and
make
the
hard
decisions
independently
and
thoughtfully?
And
that's
what
we're
going
to
need
after
covid?
That's
what
we're
going
to
need
when
there
isn't
much
money
at
the
state
and
you
can't
continue
to
split,
spend
profligately
like
like
they
have
at
the
county
and
at
the
state
in
the
past.
E
Lastly,
thank
you
to
our
audience
for
tuning
in
to
learn
more
about
the
upcoming
election
and
local
issues.
We
hope
that
you
were
able
to
gain
valuable
insight
to
the
political
leaders
that
were
invited
tonight.
We
encourage
teens,
who
are
18
and
above
to
register
to
vote
at
registertovote.ca.gov
if
they
have
not
done
so.
E
Voting
is
important
for
teens,
because
it
allows
us
to
directly
impact
issues
that
may
affect
our
lives
in
the
future.
Every
vote
matters
and
your
vote
makes
a
huge
difference
in
your
community
and
allows
your
voice
to
be
heard.
This
concludes
pizza
and
politics
2020,
and
we
hope
to
see
you
again
for
pizza
and
politics.
