my name is jamel patterson. council of human services, and i feel like it's my duty as a citizen of san francisco to give you my opinion who should be the next mayor. and it should be somebody who understands the fabric of the city. when i look at the bicycle program, i look at that as something that brings different parts of the community together. i'd like my community to take part of that more. there's one thing about the last two mayors. pros and cons. you could say good or bad about either one of them. both of them had ideas and they were upbeat, and that's what people need. and also, both of them came to my mother's funeral. her name was barbara brown. she founded the united council of women's services. so we need a mayor that understands the people and understands the young sung heroes of the community. cxfc and i'm the tie between the younger generation and the older generation because i'm, you know, in my 30's, early 30's. and i'd like to say god bless you all and support the ideas of the new up-and-com
