Hello, I'm Mayor Joe Credit Tony. I got into politics because I believed in the strength of our community. When I was growing up in some of them, people from outside the city looked down on us. That was because for a long time, our city leaders were not as good as the people they represented. We were a diverse, hard work in community where people believed everyone deserves a fair shot and that everyone should be treated with dignity. We had tight-knit neighborhoods and residents loved to turn off a civic events. People from other cities and towns would be a bit confused when we'd boast about being from some of them because they couldn't see the core values that made us such a strong community. We were just people from a place they drove past on their way to somewhere else. My goal as mayor for the past 14 years and as an alderman for eight years before that has been to represent those values to put our community first. My job isn't about being an executive or a manager. I do those things. But my primary focus is on channeling the values of our community. When we bring people in some of them together, we can accomplish great things. We rebuilt assembly square, returned in the green line extension into a reality. We're upgrading some of all high school through educate our children as we get deeper into the 21st century. We put together a collective vision for our city that includes 125 acres of open space, 6,000 new units of housing, and transforming our old industrial areas into thriving commercial districts. All of that is the product of people in some of them coming together with the goal of making our city a great place to live, work, play, and raise a family. Everybody raves about some of all these days. That's because they can finally see what some of them in action looks like. We put our values front and center. That is how we achieve the flourishing urban school district, a boom in local economy, and the lowest crime rate in city history. That is why we stand up to probably proclaim ourselves as a sanctuary city because we believe in bringing families together, not in tearing them apart. That is why we're going to be carbon neutral by 2050. All I've ever done is seek to represent the strength and inherit goodness of the people of some of them. It has been an honor of a lifetime and I look forward to serving this all-american city in the future. We put our community first and it's made all the difference. I ask for your vote once again to proudly serve you as your mayor on September 19. Thank you.
