Albany Mayoral Candidates Meet In Virtual Forum

5:16
Three of the candidates for mayor of Albany discussed gun violence and other issues that are impacting the city in an online forum Tuesday.
Second-term Mayor Kathy Sheehan, her Democratic primary challenger Valerie Faust, and Republican Alicia Purdy, who will face the June 22nd primary winner in November, participated in the two-hour forum. It touched on several significant issues, including the rash of gun violence that has plagued the city, and how to stop it. Purdy says the gun problem evolved over time.
“We can't just say that we care and then do nothing. And certainly you can't legislate people's hearts. So at the end of the day, what we're going to have to do is find a solution that involves the community stepping up, the police stepping up, policies changing to accommodate people who are struggling on. Maybe they have mental health challenges, whatever that is, the multifaceted approach, though, and does not involve lifting guns off the street as much as it does addressing the people.”
