And I was in my life with my job because I really understood what a lot of the decisions were going through. I was homeless and when I had my daughter I ran a team so I noticed that it was like a woman. I'm a homo and an out-length late but I don't have a challenge of becoming a change in because my head works for an entire and unfortunately when the economy went so they go return to we had to be a just like many of the people in this community. On top of that because we have some major than a variety of education programs we had to be completely involved. So I know what it's like to be a camera but really not to say what it needs to be involved with just your disindication but I understand that it's passive. My kids can't stand it but they understand that we know it's worth the better than it's done to be a monoclonal life. There's a lot of things that we can do in this system. We need to make sure that we can cut access to jobs. We need to create jobs. We need to build everyone up. I'm running our master's wheel support because I cannot do this alone. I won't ever say that it is my campaign. It is our campaign. My tendency is our future. Thank you. Show you good with the bell. Thank you everybody. Thank you to the one community. Thank you to the people that have come here and thank you most of all to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this. I'm a father of three Boston public schools news. I own a home here in this community. I run a small business. I run a small business in this community called the Galactic Movement to real estate business. I know what it is to make payroll and to not make payroll. I understand the struggles and I suffer too some of the same struggles that you do. The mortgage payments, companies, insurance payments, tuition payments, credit card payments, I have those same things and I've lived through good times and bad times with those. I've always been committed to this community. I've worked tirelessly to make sure that this place is a better place for my children and your children. It's important for all of us to work together throughout the whole district and that's what I think I agree to this. I've worked so long in this community from one end of it to the other that I think that's the key. The person that is going to be elected to this seat has to have tentacles reaching throughout this whole community. I want this job because I have a can-do attitude. I'll bring that to City Hall. I love what Dorchester has given to me. I love what Dorchester has to offer and I love the people from Dorchester that I hear tonight and the people that are in these streets. As a guy working my way through college, I work on these streets as a rubbish that picking up trash. I know all about what goes on here. I delivered the newspapers here and I just want to ask you, I want to tell you what's the 10th of 27th. We have an awesome opportunity to take control of what happens next in this community. I want to ask you on September 27th to vote for Craig Gowell. Thank you very much. Good evening. My name is Marty Goggett and I am also candidate for District Free City Council. I come to you tonight as a candidate who has lived in this community for about seven years now. My wife and I are in jail because it was too expensive to live anywhere else and we were accepted very well in this community. I have my mother in this community now, which I'm very proud of and my mother just bought a house today. I would just do it. And she is now 2 and I am committed to this community. And the reason I'm committed is because I come to you as the son of a former Boston Public School teacher. My father never wanted to be in politics. He wanted to help the little ones, the little kids, your children, your relatives, children, your neighbors, children. And the reason he wanted to help them was because they had nobody to help them in the schools. He saw a lot of problems. He saw a lot of fear. He saw a lot of challenges. And he did it without the help of anybody else. And I watched him and his dedicated friends do that for years and get beaten better. And I see it grow up life and grow up our municipality in different areas. I feel that we need somebody from the streets who has seen this first hand and who can work to preach that out. I also know what it is to struggle. To be honest, the last three months, I have been unemployed. I'm one of the ones struggling. So every day I go to work trying to find a job and I know how hot that is. I know how hot that is. Most people out there. So I want to make that easier for people. I want to make the opportunity easier and I want to make things better in your gesture. So I ask you to be a vote. Not because a bunch of people are asking you to vote for me, but because I want to make this community better. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Frank Bakker. I'm a candidate for City Council District 3. And again, thank you all 13 and 115 for having this event today. Thank you everybody for coming out. First of all, I was one same average parish. I lived in the South. I'm doing the best field. I live in a town in New Zealand and my立 in color. So, the interpreter can be used to guard an individual. I only on that basis I think it's very helpful to see it as hardship. But it, it's theниọ cancer lying around me. canal developing trees. For the students, ifmentation goes through time, intensification So those are some of the decisions that the city does, and I think we're close, I'm feeling. I have experience at the bargaining table. So I know the world class family's going through. My family's a world class family. Dad worked for the railroad for the railroad for 40 years. I know the value of the blue pension. Middle class is under assault. And when being assaulted by people that are just like us, they're trying to take a health benefits and are trying to enjoy from us. With that, I'm actually on a lead from the M-track now. When the print went back and closed, I was unemployed for a while, and I got on a lead from the M-track. When this opportunity happened, I took a lead from the M-track. Because I believe in myself first off. And I believe that the sacrifice to lead a job for a little while and make the rules of summer is well worth it to be an advocate for Dorchester. Because I believe that I can be the most effective advocate. I left so I could campaign for this job 100% of the time. And that's the way I plan on running my office the way I am. I'm going to be your advocate 100% of the time. I was a small business owner on the restaurant. I'm going to just wrap for eight years. I've been involved in my community for a while. Anyway, you're welcome. Thank you. OK, we have a suggestion. And I think it's a good one. Let's give our candidates just maybe a 10-second or 5-second year or something like that. Oh, that's a kind of one. I'm going to put my hand up and give them an explanation. OK, we're flexible. We can adjust. Good job. It's a good opening statement. Start candidates. Thank you. OK, let's get to the question. Jobs. That's got the top of the priority list. First, first, first, first, first, first. Bennett, welcome. We're proceeding into the next section on questions. But I'd like to allow your chance to give an opening statement. Would you like to do that? OK, my catch-up breath. Thank you, Leigh. Excuse me. Thank you, Leigh. My name is Doug Bennett. I'm running through your next city council for district three. Excuse me for being a late. I'm a 35-years-old, I'm a single father. My son, he actually had a 17-month-old. He fell today. They care. And he heard his head. And so I was with him all day. And I was just keeping him back to his mother. And so that's why I came a little late. So thank you for the opportunity to be here tonight. The biggest thing is this is that number one, what makes me different than my fellow competitors up here is that I'm the only one here that's been elected to office. I moved to Massachusetts 10 years ago. I'm a farm boy from Pennsylvania. I happened to work as a carpenter on the Utah pit. And out there, I got elected as a select committee commissioner. And although we had a budget of only $80 million, compared to $2.4 billion here in Boston, it's still giving me a good grasp of the mechanics of municipal government. Also, I believe that elected service and also government works, not being a lifetime job. I think that I'm going to be a good candidate.
