I enjoyed getting to know Yemi throughout the race for mayor and admired his friendly demeanor and respect for all the candidates. After the election, Yemi and I discussed his priorities as mayor and they most mirror mine - improving public safety, addressing homelessness and advocating for affordable housing. I am also confident that he has the moral character needed for the job.
Yemi will bring strong leadership and the willingness to challenge the status quo, solve problems, and build resilient neighborhoods.
Importantly, he will be truthful and champion open government.
