“You can sit back and point out the problems or you can address them and bring solutions to the table'
Jordan says he knows his celebrity carried him into a run-off election slated for Saturday . But he’s hoping he can persuade the voters who got him there to turn out again so he can represent the council’s District D.
While campaigning, voters ask him what he plans to do if he’s elected, but many can’t help themselves and ask to take a smartphone photo with him. “He needs to improve voter turnout from his home ground in subdivisions like Sunnyside,“ Adams said. “Older African Americans may be not swayed by the notion a hip-hop artist can be in public office.”“My belief is that City Council is not a training ground, it’s a proving ground. I’ve already proven my record,” said Evans-Shabazz.
But Gerry Monroe said Jordan’s political outsider status is what attracted him to campaign for the rapper. “We have a serious gang issue in District D,” Monroe said this week outside of the Sunnyside center. As he spoke, a group of teenage boys down the street fought in a brawl that was quickly broken up when adults arrived.
