Let me address the real elephant in the room.
0:23:55
To those who say, I'll just be the mayor's lawyer.
0:23:59
They obviously don't know me.
0:24:03
I am my own man.
0:24:05
I've stood up to organize crime, mayors, governors, and even presidents when they got it wrong and won.
0:24:13
And I brought lawsuits directly contrary to the positions of this administration.
0:24:19
So you don't have to guess whether I'll stand up.
0:24:22
I already have.
0:24:24
I've been described as fearless, tenacious, courageous, and I'll stand up for what is right, rep resetting the entire city, including the city council.
