MY DIRECT MY HOME IN D3 >> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YASSMIN.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THIS DISTRICT IS?

>> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING OUR COUNTRY IS EXTREMISM FROM THE RIGHT.

NO QUESTION THE ATTACKS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS ON GOING ATTACK THE LAST DECADEOS FREEDOMS AND RIGHT TO VOTE.

OUR CLIMATE.

THESE OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE FACING OUR NATION.

HOWEVER I'M KNOCKING DOORS EVERY DAY IN DISTRICT 3.

I FEEL WELL IS EXHAUSTION WITH THE POLITICAL CLIMATE WE ARE FIGHTING EXTREMISTS NOT ENOUGH POLITICIANERS DELIVERING.

BIGGEST ISSUE THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING DAILY ARE HOUSE BEING AFFORDABLE OR PAYING RENT AND THE COST SXEJZ THAT'S YET COUNCIL WOMAN I MADE IT MY MISSION TO DELIVER.

WE DELIVERED NEW FIRE STATIONS.

PARK IN OUR DISTRICT AND SOUTH PHOENIX.

ESTABLISHED A PHOENIX PROMISE PROBLEM TO HELP STUDENTS GO TO COLLEGE.

I HAVE BEEN A HOUSING CHAMPION AND ENACTING ZONING REFORM AND UNPRESIDENTED AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

IN OUR CITY.

THAT'S THE LERREDSHIP YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME ISN'T NOT FIGHTING AGAINST EXTREMISTS BUT PAST POLICY AND APPROVE THE LIVES OF RESIDENTS DAILY >> THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS?

>> THE ISSUES THAT WE HEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY ARE MANY.

FREEDOMS ARE NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT COME TO MIND.

YOU KNOW, LAST WEEK THE SUPREME COURT ENACTED AN 1864 ABORTION BAN.

IT IS WILD WHAT WE ARE IN THIS NOW.

SO REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS ARE CRITICAL TO FIGHT FOR IN CONGRESS.

AND I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE WILL.

>> AND LET ME TELL YOU THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST AFFECTED WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TYPES OF BANS ARE PEOPLE FROM CONGRESSIONAL D 3 THAT DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE STATE TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO MAKE SURE THEY GET HEALTH CARE NEEDS MET.

AND THESE OTHER SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE FAMILIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING IN OUR DISTRICT TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, MAKE SURE THEY PUT GAS IN THEIR CAR AND BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LAST WHO ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE CORPORATE GREED AND ROCKET PROFITS.

AND FRANKLY THSHG IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO MAKE SURE WE ARE FIGHTING FOR EVERYBODY'S FREEDOMS >> DOCTOR WOOTEN, WHAT IS THE TOP ISSUE AS YOU SEE IT?

>> TOP ISSUE IS EASY.

IT IS HEALTH CARE, HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND FOOD IN THE DISTRICT.

PEOPLE FORGET THE DISTRICT WE WANT TO SERVE HAS THE HIGHEST DISPROPORTIONATE HEALTH CARE DISPARITIES IN THE COUNTS REW LET ALONE THE STATE.

I DEAL WITH KIDS AND PARENTS AND I DEAL WITH FAMILIES EVERY DAY OF MY CAREER.

FOR 40 YEARS I LISTENED POLITICIANS SAY, WHAT THEY WILL DO TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT WEST PHOENIX.

AND THIS IS WHY I'M RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

I'M TIRED OF HEARING THE LIRP SERVICE PAID TO THE PEOPLE NEED FOOD.

30% OF ALL KIDS GO TO BED IN MY DISTRICT FOOD DEBRIEFED.

THAT IT IS THE STATISTIC BUT THE TRUTH.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT EVERY NIGHT WHERE THEY WILL SLEEP.

AMOUNT OF KIDS AND ADULT CATHARSIS HOMELESS NOW.

PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT ARE WORRIED ABOUT PAYING BILLS.

HAVING HOUSING AND HAVING ADEQUATE FOOD SOURCE AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON.

>> AS FAR AS WHAT WE HEARD HERE AND THE REBUTTAL IS CORRESPOND ABORTION AND ABORTION RIGHTS AND ABORTION RIGHTS AND HEALTH CARE.

WHERE -- IMPORTANT ISSUES FOR EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT.

HOW IMPORTANT TO YOU?

>> ALL ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT AS A WOMAN I WAS GUTTED BY THE DECISION WHEN IT CAME TO BEING SESZ IN ARIZONA I'M FIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE ENSHRINE ABORTION ACCESS IN NOVEMBER.

I THINK WHEN I WAS RUNNING MY PHOENIX COUNCIL OFFICE THE VAST MAJORITY OF CALLS WE RECEIVED FROM FAMILIES WHO WERE LITERALLY ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM GOING HOMELESS.

I HELPED 19,000 FAMILIES IN PHOENIX WITH RENT AND U TIMITY ASSISTANCE AND DIRECT 140 MILLION DOLLARS TO THE NEW EMERGENCY SHELTER BEDS AND HEALTH SERVICE.

HELPED TO CREATE NEW FRESH FOOD PROGRAMS I DELIVERED ON THE ISSUES AND THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING THAT TO CONGRESS >> AND MRS. TERAN HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE ACCESS YOU ARE GOING TO CONGRESS NOT CITY SHAWL, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ADDRESS THE PEOPLE IN THIS DISTRICT REGARDING ACCESS AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE.

>> I SUPPORT MEDICARE FOR ALL.

WE THAN WE HAVE A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT IS BROKEN.

OUR FAMILIES CAN BANKRUPT WITH ONE ILLNESS WE SAW DURING THE PANDEMIC.

PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST.

I WILL TELL THANK YOU IN OUR FAMILY WE HAVE A NIECE THAT HAS A RARE DISEASE AND ONCE THE DISEASE WAS IDENTIFIED WE HAD TO FIGHT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN ORDER FOR HER TO GET HER TREATMENT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF CORPORATE GREED.

AGAIN INSURANCE COMPANIES TAKING OVER.

WE NEED TO HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN LIVE A PROSPEROUS LIFE >> UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.

MEDICARE FOR ALL.

A, GOOD IDEAS, B, HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT?

>> I GET ASKED THIS ALL THE TIME BEING A PHYSICIAN.

WE HAVE TO HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE BUT YOU NEED TO WHANDZ MEANS NOT THE 80 TO GO TO THE PHYSICIAN BUT ACTUAL ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE THAT GO TO A PHYSICIAN BUT CAN'T AFFORD THE MEDICATION PRESCRIBED.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, YOU HAVE TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE.

AND IN THIS COUNTRY WE HAVE DONE BAD.

NUMBER 33 IN THE WORLD WITH DELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE.

THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE >> LAST POINT.

I'M SORRY AS FAR AS MEDICARE IS CORRESPOND SINGLE PAIR AND MEDICARE FOR ALL.

AGAIN.

HOW IS THIS GOING TO GET PAID MORE WHEN MEDICARE IS INSOLVANCEY?

>> WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE AM HAVE THE THINGS HELPING THE PEOPLE.

WE KNOW OUR TAX SYSTEM IS UNFAIR NOW.

THE TRUMP TAX CUTS SET TO EXPIRE NEXT YEAR THERE IS OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR REFORM TO MAKE SURETY THE MIDDLE CLASS IS PAYING LESS AND THE WEALTHIEST AND GREEDY CORPORATIONS AND BILLION AIRS NEED TO PAY THEIR SHARE TO INVEST.

WE NEED TO INVEST IN MEDICARE FOR ALL AND EXPANDING SOCIAL PROTECTING AND EXPANDING SOCIAL SECURITY.

AND WE NEED TO INVEST IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT IS OF IMPORTANCE THERE IS A WAY TO PAY FOR GOOD POLICY >> DOCTOR WOOTEN FOR INFLATION THE LATEST REPORT THE HIGHESTANUAL GAIN IN SICK MONTHS.

WHY, WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHAT CAN DO YOU ON THE HILL TO FIX IT?

>> WE HAVE TO LOOK WHAT THE SOURCE SIMPLE THE SOURCE OF THE INFLATION.

WE HAVE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HAS MORE DOLLARS NOW THAN THEY DID 20 YEARS AGO.

UNINITIAL THE COST OF GOODS IS SO HIGH AND WE HAVE TO LOOK WHY THAT IS THE CASE.

AND THE ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE USED THE WORD, GREED IT COME DOWN TO THE GREED.

PRICES ARE HIGH BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE PROFIT THERE IS NO REASON PRICES TO BE WE BE THE LEADING OIL PRODUCER IN THE WORLD WHY ARE GAS PRICES SO HIGH.

COME DOWN TO GREED.

SAME REGARDING FOOD.

THE FOOD SOURCES IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MUCH IS COST TO GET A BAG OF GROCERIES.

WHY IS THAT THE CASE?

IS NOT BECAUSE OF A SHORTAGE IT IS BECAUSE INCREASED PROFITABILITY.

YOU KNOW UNTIL WE GET WORD.

GREED OUT OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WE HAVE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY HEALTH CARE DELIVERY.

>> INFLATION.

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?

>> YOU KNOW AT THE END OF DAY, WHEN I'M KNOCKING ON DOORS AND PEOPLE SAYING THEY PAY 4 DOLLARS FOR MILK AND 5 DOLLARS FOR EGGS, PEOPLE ARE OVERWHELMED WITH THIS ECONOMIC HARDSHIP AND YES, I AGREE THE GREED CORPORATIONS, RECORD PROFITS AND SKY ROCKETING PRICES.

TO HAVE GROCERIES THAT DON'T COST AS MUCH TO PRODUCE BUTT KOERNGZS UNFORTUNATELY ARE GREEDY.

AND I THINK WHEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNT OKAY THERE IS SO MUCH CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON AND HOLD CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE.

I'M HAPPY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS USED THE USED THE -- WAYS OF OF -- CRACKING DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO MORE INFLATION.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ANSARI >> I THINK THIS WILL THE REALITY WAGES ARE NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE COST OF LIVE THERING IS GREED IN THAT REALM AS WELL.

ON THE PHOENIX COUNCIL I WAS FROUD TO HELP LEAD THE CHARGE TO RAISE WAGES FOR THOUSANDS OF WORKERS FROM POLICE OFFICERS, FIREFIGHTERS AND LIBRARIANS BUS DRIVERS.

PARK RANGERS WE RAISED WAGE AND IT IS FIRST CITY TO ENACT A WAGE ORDINANCE.

SO THE HARD WORKING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BUILDING OUR CITY CAN AFFORD TO KEEP LIVING HERE.

GREED ACROSS THE BOARD AND ARE TO STAND WITH WORKYS CALLING FOR MORE I'M PROUD TO TAKE AN ACTION TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVE LIHOODS THAT'S WHAT I WILL DO IN CONGRESS FIGHT FOR WAGES, BENEFITS AND WORKING CONDITION.

>> AND I'M GLAD THE COUNCIL WOMAN AND THE REST OF THE COUNSELS AND THE MAYOR ENACTED GOOD ORDINANCE FOR THE WORKERS.

AND IT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN OUR STATE ROBBERY WORK TO BUILD 4 ENSURE THERE IS A MAJORITY COUNCIL IN PHOENIX.

AND THAT THERE SAY POWER LIKE PROP 206 BROUGHT THE ABILITY TO HAVE THAT -- ORDINANCE MOVE THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL AND HAPPENING ACROSS THE STATE.

IT IS DUE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE PROPOSITIONS TO GET WORKYS WHAT THEY NEED >> THERE IS A LINE OF REASONING, THAT RAISING THE WAGES RAISES EVERYTHING THAT IS A REASON FOR INFLATION AND A LINE OF REASONING THAT BIDEN'S POLICIES MONETARY POLICYERS IN PART GREAT PART THE REASON FOR THE HIGH PRICE.

WHAT SAY YOU?

>> LOOK.

PRESIDENT BIDEN CAME IN A TIME LEAVING A PANDEMIC AND HE PASSED INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.

DEMOCRATS MOVED THAT IN ORDER.

POLICIES BROUGHT RELEAR.

I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK BACK AT THE FACT THE GREEDY CORPORATIONS ARE INCREASING PROCESSES AND NOT -- JUST KEEPING THE PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES >> BIDEN POLICIES AND SIMPLE THINGS LIKE INCREASING THE WAGE BY WAY OF GOVERNMENT OPPOSED THE MARKET.

THIS IS AMONG THESE ARE AMONG THE MANY REASONS THAT PRICES ARE SO HIGH.

DO THEY HAVE A POINT >> THEY HAVE A SMALL POINT.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE IDEAINGLY OF WHY.

THEY WILL SAID THAT -- WHEN BIDEN TOOK OVER WE WERE IN A CRISIS.

JUMP START THINGS HAD TO BE DONE THIS COST A LOT OF MONEY.

YOU CAN'T FORGET WHERE WE CAME WE WILL CAME FROM A PAN DEM THAT I CAN HAD US UNDER THERE WERE INCREASED COSTS SHARED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

THAT WEED FRANKIE NOT BEEN DONE.

MIDDLE MAN.

AND MIDDLE CLASS HURT FOR IT.

>> FOR THOSE WHO SAY BIDEN POLICY ISSUE TO BLAME YOU SAY >> I DISAGREE.

REMEMBER THE CONTEXT THE PANDEMIC THE WAR IN UKRAINE.

MANY ISSUES CAUSING INFLATION.

BIDEN POLICY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING >> THE CITIZENSHIP FOR THE 11 MILLION HERE WHO ARE WORKING FROM THE HERE IN THE FIELDSES TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

FOR WE NEED A SOLUTION FOR DREAMERS.

THAT IS A FINAL AND REAL SOLUTION.

AND THE BORDER NEEDS THE RESOURCES THE COMMUNITY THE BORDER NEED THE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS WE ARE EXPERIENCING WE ARE EXPERIENCING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE PORTS OF ENTRY NEED RESOURCE TOS KEEP US SAFE.

I WILL NOT LOWER MY STANDARDS OR EXPECTATIONS TO ENSURE THAT WE DO GET IMMIGRATION REFORM.

REPUBLICANS USE THIS ISSUE AS A WEDGE ISSUE AND TRUMP HAS COMMITTED TO DEPORT DOING THROUGH DEPORTATIONS AND IF WE LEARN FRIDAY HIS COMMITMENT OF REVERSING ROE BELIEVE HE WOULD DEPORT MILLIONS AND MAKE SURE WE GET I REMEMBER INAUGURATION REFORM DONE >> IS THERE A CRISIS AT THE BOARDER WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ADDRESS IT?

>> FIRST IDENTIFY THE FACT THAT IT IS A CRISIS AT THE BORDER.

YOU AND NOT MEDICINE WE LOOK AT THE WHY SOMETHING IS GOING OF I HATE TO SAY THIS I WOULD NOT USE THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S NAME IF YOU KNOW I DON'T SAY HIS NAME BECAUSE IT IS SELF PERPETUATING CRISIS.

SECURITY, BORDER CONTROL, ET CETERA WE DON'T NEED TO WEAPONIZE INDIVIDUALS SEEKING ERICKSON CYCLE NUMB A FAIR WAY.

SAD TO SAY WE LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL SAYS AS REALLY THE PRIORS WE LOOK AT OTHERS WANT TO COME IN THE COUNTRY OTHERS AREAS AND WE DON'T THINK ABOUT THEM AS BEING IN THAT SAME STATE.

THEY ARE IMMIGRANTS.

SPEAK TO THEM WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN.

>> STICKING WITH YOU DOCTOR WOOTEN.

270,000 CROSSINGS LEFT YEAR.

120,000 FROM THE YEAR BEFORE.

GOOD?

BAD?

>> BAD >> GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

NO QUESTION WE HAVE TO GET MORE CONTROL ON THE BORDER CROSSINGS BUT IN A WAY THAT AGAIN, I SAID, IS RESPECTFUL WITH DIGNITY.

WE DON'T HAVE TO TREAT INDIVIDUAL HUMAN INDIVIDUALS AS IF THEY ARE SOME -- BAD PEOPLE.

THAT IS THE WORD I WILL USE.

YOU LOOK ACROSS THE AISLE AND YOU WORK WITH PEOPLE YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOLUTION FIST YOU WORK TOGETHER.

OUR PROBLEM IN CONGRESS THEY HAVE NOT WORKED TOGETHER NOR HAD THEY WANTED.

>> YOU HEAR THE NUMBERS WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEAR THAT?

>> I HEAR WE NEED MORE RESOURCE.

MY FIRST ANSWER WE NEED RESOURCES FOR THE BOARD AND FOR THE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COULD YOU WANT REW THAT ARE MANAGING WE THAN ASYLUM LAWS WRITTEN YEARS AGO AND IT IS VALTOYED SAY YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE LAWS AND THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRACK THE CASES AND UNDERSTAND THE LEGITIMACY OF A SOOIM CYCLEUM CASE THE COUNTRY ATTRACTING THE BEST INDIVIDUALS TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES.

SO BUT WITHOUT REAL LEADERS WHO WANT TO GET SOMETHING DONE TELL NOT HAPPEN >> >> YOU KNOW I WILL GO BACK TO COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM.

YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING TO THE COUNTRY THEY ARE FLEEING.

CLIMATE CRISIS.

FLOWING VIOLENCE.

FLEEING ECONOMIC HARDSHIP.

AND WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS.

WE SHOULD BE WELCOMING AND SHOULD HAVE THE RESOURCES NETS TO ATTENDS THIS CRISIS >> WHEN YOU SAY COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM CAN YOU NOT TAKE IT STEP BY STEP?

>> IT IS IMPORTANT WE TAKE IT IN A COMPREHENSIVE MANNER.

AND WE DID SEE A BILL THAT WITH FRIENDS OF THE SENATE.

AND I KNOW THAT WE NEED THE RESOURCES FOR THE BORDER IF WE ARE NOT ATTENDING THE CRISIS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, 11 MILLION PEOPLE HERE UNDOCUMENTED.

TELL BE HARD TO GET TO THAT PLACE >> COMPREHENSIVE OR NOTHING AT ALL?

GI SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE REFORM BUT DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD GIVE UP PROGRESS.

OR NOTHING.

WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS INTAGZ FOR DKDZS PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR DKDZS WE NEED AND NEED RESOURCE NOW WHEN THERE IS COMPROMISE ON THE TABLE I BELIEVE WE CAN'T LET TRUMP SCREW THAT UP >> QUICKLY COMPREHENSIVE OR NOTHING.

COMPREHENSIVE, OF COURSE.
