New york 1. Good evening, welcome to new yorks 111th Congressional District. Were less than three weeks from election day, the start of early voting starts on october 24th and many voters received their absentee ballots. With Big Decisions on the minds of many voters, we bring you a seat held by both democrats and republicans over the past decade. Its consistently been the most competitive Congressional District in the city. The 11th district encompasses all Staten Island and bay ridge and the heights. The seat is currently held by max rose, a Democrat First elected to office in 2018. Hes being challenged by Nicole Malliotakis who currently serves in the state senate. Both are appearing via skype, were holding this remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic. The rules agreed to, generally the candidates will have one minute to answer questions and well of course allow for exchanges. Well have a cross examination round and a lightning round. The candidates will be by themselves for the du
Between the union and the school board and the School District, it feels like from those those other entities, and i want to say that the purpose of this meeting was to figure out how the city can best support families and the School District and educators. Because i agree with the comments of Susan Sullivan that the caste that the educators have in front of them is so monumental. And it is difficult to roll out distance teaching and learning, which is what you are doing, and also at the same time to simultaneously provide for the needs of families to do what needs to be done in households to make that education work and meaningful. So what i see the role of the city is and i want to take my at off to maria sue and her staff and the mayor who stepped up and are trying to play a useful role in in the in one area of where families need help. And it is the area that is most complicated because how to provide safe child care so that theres an adult, you know, helping the teachers to teach
In this election. So, the answer is yes and regarding demographics and when people register to vote, dem demographic information is optional. But when it comes to knowing where the high turnout parts of the city are, we know that each election because we provide by default, extra support for those locations every year, every election cycle. And so, we still expect people to go to polling places and we still expect them to want to capacity a ballot, but i think covid is going to also reduce the number of people that go to polling places. And i think the ballot lanking g in peoples mailboxes are reducing the people in polling places. But having i voted sicker on the insert will reduce the number of people going to polling places. Thats one of the largest statements is that they want their i voted sticker. Thats why they go and drop off ballots. Now they can get the sticker and mail it back to us. I know a lot of voters, my family included, tend to drop off or ballot on election day and t
Shelter, education and healthcare. Please invest in these resources by keeping us all safe and invest in the community. Thank you. Next speaker please. Im born and raised in the city. Calling in on behalf of my community. Im calling on behalf of the lives lost by sfpd. One of the things that need to change about the Police Department, i will echo the same thoughts about reduce running the Police Budget. We need higher budget cuts. Next speaker please. I live in district 4. Im calling to ask defund and disband sfpd and the Sheriffs Department. We need to cut the Police Department by at least 50 . We need a budget that fires sheriffs deputies and cut overtime. You take that money to invest in the community, police dont keep us safe. That was made apparent again. We need to make drastic changes nationwide and San Francisco can lead the way. Communities are those with better acts with housing and healthcare and education. Invest in people and communities, not cops. Thank you. Next speaker
