Kim white, by the way, today is the last day for early voting so again, thanks for joining us know your life is crazy.

Go you recently came out couple weeks ago with your 10 point women's initiative highlight that force tell us what yeah thank you jeff.

I think as a female i had a very unique perspective and i would be the first female mayor and hundred 91 years i might add i had to really look at issues that are affecting women in the city and as in the country that we lost 2.4 million women out o work for since, they tried to juggle childcare and a lot of lot of other issues.

So i city hall.

We want to be a leader an set the example we were to come out and cyber providing childcare for our employees really to encourage a lot of other employers to help us increase seats for child care our goal is to have 2000 more seats in an early childhood and we think that we can do that an we think that's that's an imperative.

Not only help with talent in the workforce but als help make sure kids are ready for school.

Knowing how to nurture the talent workforce is also something that women probably are a little better ou than their milk gst lot had experienced my entire career to be the only female on the table.

Make sure that we actually have opportunities and we make sure our administration is very diverse and especially at a point people aboard his hundred 60 8c divorce to make sure ther is like that of our community very briefly to talk about your team, your your organization group and provided you are elected mayor regarding have your cabinet picked out so speaker team members.

I want to make sure we had the best the best and also had a lot of great employees to make sure that we have an opportunity to interview and make sure the people in the right states sli so we think that quickly will come out of that with a top- notch ministration without asking what you're hit list is what's one of the first things you're going to do a recap when hundred days totally start finish, but it can white steps in the mayor's office next week which job number one.

The menendez fit together, they offer the small business of hard because that's critical where getting many from the federal government we want to make sure that we do void i was correctly the limerick making sure they were helping some the small business is struggling to look at how we streamline city government processes to make sure that i investment that's been out there on the docket can take on the people of said one to spend money and invest money and sending them but they're waiting because way too complicated.

The one thing that was disappointing to both of us.

A lot of us were watching and actively pursue the families were crappy because the voter turnout was crappy.

It was what 5% of the eligible voters turne out to renown this past time.

There are 28,000 people that turned out that was higher than what we've had in the past you.
