will have far-reaching and long-term impact on many of our lives. which ones should we have a laser focus on right now? i think the one that s a big deal for the most of us is the abortion grant when they agreed to take this louisiana admitting privileges law that is identical to the law struck down in 2016 in whole women s health. that law there are currently three abortion clinics in louisiana. it will shut two down and 92% of the people in the state will not have easy access. because they have to have emergency admission on the facility? yeah. any doctor in order to be permitted to give boorgs will have to get admitted privileges they cannot get. and let s say they say the louisiana law is legal. how far-reaching is the impact for that nationwide? nationwide, it essentially means the ruling in whole women s health, the trap laws texas had in 2016 that was the
and ironically enough, down the ticket means the united states senator. right. what do you think, as we head into tomorrow, what is your thinking about how to think about what s going to happen tomorrow? you know, there are a lot of x factors in florida. it is an eight-page ballot, eight pages. florida is notorious for these lengthy wordy amendments. there is one significant to progressive amendment 4, which would restore voting rights to millions of people who served their time for felonies. that s the one that african-american activist, civil rights groups are focusing on and wanting people to laser focus on. there are other convoluted ballot issues in that ballot as well. there is concern the size of the ballot discourage down ticket voting. there are competitive state senate and state house races as well and so what democrats are hoping is that the enthusiasm for gillum and i m here in his home city in tallahassee right now that the enthusiasm will encourage people to stay
the margin of error. just when you talk to people just on the ground, we were in south florida yesterday, we were in fort lauderdale. people talk about gillum. there is not a lot of proactive talk about nelson. but what people are saying is they ll vote the slate. people are excited about voting for andrew gillum and willing to vote democratic down the ticket. and ironically enough, down the ticket means the united states senator. right. what do you think, as we head into tomorrow, what is your thinking about how to think about what s going to happen tomorrow? you know, there are a lot of x factors in florida. it is an eight-page ballot, eight pages. florida is notorious for these lengthy wordy amendments. there is one significant to progressive amendment 4, which would restore voting rights to millions of people who served their time for felonies. that s the one that african-american activist, civil rights groups are focusing on and wanting people to laser focus on. there are othe
people where they are. let s talk about safety for a moment. gun violence still a big issue in new orleans. what s your plan for reducing the it incidence. gun violence is focus across the united states, no different in the city of new orleans, but we re going to have to take a laser focus on, again, the wraparound services, stabilizing environments, cleaning them up, providing mental health services, addictive disorder, we have to address it head-on. so, again, looking at the whole family, you have to address it. last question here. a lot of women seeking elective office here. what is your message to them, having been through this for yourself? women have been on the national stage of being great legislators, but we re even better executives. i say there s no stopping us now. we cannot turn back the clock. we need it.
