So excited to talk about graffiti before but i see jim castille from dpw as well as mr. Stinger. I think all of the work you have been doing is so great at tackling the issues when they rise and also trying to foster a sense of responsibility and pride in our neighborhood so they can be prevented as well. With that, happy to support both candidates, thank you so much for your contribution to our city.

Delgado rott man and i am delighted to be here to ask for your support to my appointment to the graffiti Advisory Board which i have been a member for 6 years and i think i happen to be the second oldest, not in terms of age, on the committee but rather length or number of years in the committee. I think over the 6 year period i have demonstrated and proven myself in making significant contributions to the committee. Some of these are, but not all limited to i founded our Student Volunteer Program at the academy of Art University whereby and this was 10 years ago and still holds true today that every month we participate in the Community Clean team.

Specializing in mural design so we get them involved in the cities, in neighborhoods, putting them up. Right now we are in, this semester we are in the process of putting, painting a mural of the history of the tenderloin right there at the entrance of the Little Saigon and that will be done by the end of may and we have also completed a mural right in the tenderloin at eddie and mason, a big 16 by 13 feet, i believe, if my memory serves me correct. It is on the historical bristol hotel. So the mural really brings the pride of the neighborhood, it promotes safety, particularly for the families and the children living in that neighborhood.

I have been living here for nearly 35 years, i have raised my two daughters here and educated them here. Ive lived and worked in this city, i love the city and i have the passion, the energy, and the resources to make sure that i make a diff
Holistic approach, the Community Coming together with different agencies , we were able to combat homicides related to Domestic Violence for 44 months. And this kind of graffiti abatement takes a Community Approach as well and shes been a great mentor to all the students and to get them engaged, as you recognize the academy of Art University has a lot of international students, its important to get them engaged to really understand how our country works and the importance of community involvement, also reaching out to the younger students to have respect of other peoples property and also to reach out to those students who might think of art as a career.
