"I think that will be his greatest strength is that when the young men and young women can see a positive Black male figure in that office," said Muldrow."I think that will give the community something to strive and achieve for betterness." Support for small businesses is another big issue they'll be watching at the pharmacy and at Vetress Boyce's beauty supply shop next door.
"I just ask the city for now let's just pray for Brandon, to make sure that he does the right thing," said Boyce."That he's effective, that he doesn't put an ego in front of people and hold him to his word."
