Coming up on this episode of thehealthy, wealthy, and wise podcast.
So, you know, you, you are running forcity council, and so remind me again,
why, why did you decide to do this?
I mean, it's not something thatthe average person will wake up and
says, you know, I think I'm gonnarun for city council in my city.
But why, why you ? Well,
(00:21):
you know, I, I asked myself thatas well when I first got started,
but I didn't make the decisiontill February of this year.
Okay.
But what made me want to run is
welcome to the Healthy, wealthyand Wise podcast with Dr.
William t Choctaw, md.
The content of these podcasts aredesigned to equip listeners with timely
and actionable information that mayhelp provide the basis for living a
(00:44):
more healthy, wealthy, and wise life.
This is a special electionedition featuring Laura Franklin,
who's running for the BaldwinPark, California City Council.
Let's join their conversationalready in progress.
So how's the campaign going?
Okay.
I said, there you go.
So you put something that came up.
(01:08):
Take that.
The camp, you know, the campaign,in my opinion, the campaign is going
well, especially for a first timer.
I've met a lot of folks through thecommunity, uh, shaking hands, just
really getting to know people who'vebeen here for 40 years, generations.
And then people who just moved here, maybeduring the pandemic for different reasons.
(01:31):
And, um, it's they're alive.
That's for sure.
They're there.
They're wishing me well.
Um, and they are surprised to see anAfrican American woman, uh, running
for such an office because again,the percentage is low here, but they
are glad and they all wish me luck.
And I said, okay, I need you towish me luck and clear in that box.
(01:52):
That's right.
And vote.
Exactly.
Yes, for sure.
So let me ask you, is, is, is thecampaign, is it what you thought it
would be or is it different or what,what, what, what, what have you learned?
I'll put it that waywith the campaign so far.
Well, you know, um, youknow, it is different.
Grassroots is always the hardest.
(02:13):
It is.
People, people got to getto know you, who you are.
But I think what I've learned asfar as my community, um, most of the
people want the same things, right?
They want unity, they want diversity,they want equity, they want inclusion.
They want to purchase a home.
They want to raise their kids here.
But also I've learned that even in asmall town like this, uh, politics can be
(02:38):
But at the same time,there's a lot of love there.
Like every, you know, everybody's goingto choose a side, but really once the
lights go out and everything's turnedoff, this community is still connected.
They still will look,look out for each other.
They still help one another, and theyjust want to live their best life,
just like they wish that for you.
So.
So, you know, you, you're runningfor city council and so remind me
(03:01):
again, why did you decide to do this?
I mean, it's not something that theaverage person will wake up and say, you
know, I think I'm going to run for citycouncil in my city, but why, why you?
Well, you know, I, I asked myself thatas well when I first got started, but I
didn't make the decision till February ofthis year, but what made me want to run
is realizing representation wasn't there.
(03:23):
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
And it does matter.
You know, representation matters.
It does.
And again, because our city, BaldwinPark is considered the hub of the
San Gabriel Valley and the leadershipof the hub needs to reflect the hub.
Excellent.
I needed, and as the only housingcommissioner for almost three years, um, a
lot hasn't been done because it's just me.
(03:45):
So I've also gotten a lot of pushback,but the way to be part of decision making
is to be at the table and that's whereI need to be at the city council table
at that level, not only, you know, justthe African Americans to see we can get
there, but help the community at large.
Exactly.
And you're exactly right.
You got to have a seat at the table.
(04:06):
If you don't have a seat at the tablewhere the decisions are being made and
the power is, is being implemented, uh,then your input, uh, or your influence
is, is minimized to some extent.
Um, what, what lessonshave you learned so far?
Or what, what have you, um,yeah, what, what lessons have you
learned so far in addition to that?
(04:28):
Um, it's almost like being a comedian,you know, you got to know your audience.
Okay.
Um, really know your community,not, not just campaigning vote for
me, but you really got to know yourcommunity and really what they want.
The local issues.
Yeah.
Right.
Local
issues.
You can't just say I'm runningbecause there's always going to be
that one person that asks you thequestion that you're not prepared for.
(04:49):
So, but also, um, again, I've learnedthat the second and third generations.
They just want to leave alegacy of something great.
You know, it's not an, unfortunately,um, you know, life happens and some
of them have had to be part of thatsandwich generation, or they had to
take care of a parent or vice forit and kids and different things.
(05:12):
And they, they just want tolive peaceably where they live.
And again, love one another, take careof each other, raise their families,
raise some grandbabies, maybe buy ahouse, but it's, uh, so many things
happen that get in the way of that.
Is that right?
So would, would you say that's the biggestissues, uh, biggest issue in your, uh,
your community or what would you say thetop two or three issues in your community
(05:36):
that, that your residents have told you?
Um, they want to buy a home,but it's too expensive.
Okay.
There, a lot of them don'ttrust the former leaders and
some of the current leaders.
Okay.
And, um,
the way the money's being spent.
Okay.
They don't all necessarily agree on wherethe money's being spent because our tax
(06:00):
numbers are not working for us the waythe community would like it to work.
But you've got five folks who makethe decision for the whole community.
Exactly.
And I have encouraged them to showup at these city council meetings.
Yes.
You have three minutes.
It's exactly in third Wednesdayto speak on how you feel.
You can send emails, you can makephone calls, you can show up.
(06:21):
But because some of this generation,the generations that live here are
part of the silent generation whoraised silent generation parents who
now have grandkids who are vocal.
There's there's a, there'sa miscommunication between
the top and the bottom.
They're not going to go and say,they're going to say it to me, but
they're not going to say it publicly.
(06:42):
So that's why we have to be, orI have to be that voice for them.
Okay.
Okay.
That makes perfect sense.
Because I think that's, in essence, theessence of leadership is that you find
out what your, What your supporterswant and what their needs are, and you
help them to articulate those needs, oryou articulate those needs with them.
(07:03):
Yes.
So, so
that they can move forward.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Um, well, so you've got a fewmore days until election day.
So is there, is there, is there anythingthat you specifically are doing now
that maybe you weren't doing before?
Um, with this,
you know, I'm, I'm stillgoing out in the community.
(07:25):
I am also sending text messages.
messages.
And this is from my personal phoneand I'm letting them know that this
is my actual phone, because even asa housing commissioner, you know,
we have business cards and it hasmy actual phone number on there.
So it's not that they, I'm afraidsomeone's going to get my phone
number, whatever, but, um, I'm still,like I said, group text messages.
(07:45):
I'm still posting flyers on.
Parts of the communitythat I know I didn't hit.
Okay.
Um, so that'll be, I'll be doingthat tomorrow and just kind of just
driving through the neighborhoodand see what the need might be.
You know, there may be something I missed.
That's not part of the campaign.
It just may be something as simple as asenior citizen home just needs somebody
(08:06):
to come visit, you know, something.
Simple things like that.
So do you have a team that's workingwith you or how does that work?
Oh, yes, you know, I
I could not do this without Um, I havethis I've got students from cal poly
I've got students from the community.
(08:27):
I've got my church family.
I've got guys Um, i've i've hadstudents Such a support system.
And if, and if all they did was say,I'm praying for you or luck, and I
know they meant it in the right way.
That is helpful to me because that justlets me, you know, they're the wind
behind my back that just pushes me forwardbecause there were some times when I was
(08:48):
like, I got to put this in, but that'sbecause again, this is the grassroots
way it is typically tiring, but at thesame time it is rewarding because again,
I get to meet people that I haven't metbefore and that I probably wouldn't have
met them because my way my circle is.
It forced me out of my, someof my comfort zone as well.
(09:08):
I mean, I love talking to people in thecommunity, but sometimes when you're not
a familiar with a particular neighborhoodor family or whatever's going on with
them, I kind of shy away just to, I'llstand over to kind of see what's going
on, but I've literally had to jump inwith both feet and just, just do it.
And I've done it by myself.
Some nights I'm out there by myself.
(09:30):
In a neighborhood and I'm knockingon doors and I'm talking and they
appreciate it, but they say, youknow, you need to be safe and do it
during the night, during the daytime.
And I say, yeah, but sometimes, you know,you just got to get out there and do it.
So,
sure, sure.
Well, you know, I wouldcompletely agree with you.
I know with my brief experience with,um, um, Um, local city politics.
(09:51):
It, it really did make me a better person.
I, uh, there are people who Inever would have interreacted with.
Um, and, and I was grateful thatI had interreacted with him.
And some of them to this dayare still my good friends.
Um, so it, it really does, itreally does have an impact.
Um, and I think, I think youwill, you will definitely, you
(10:11):
are experiencing that right now.
But let's just say, for whateverreason, if it doesn't end the way you
wanted for this election, um, what,what, what are the things that you
would do differently if you were to dothis again, or do something similar,
maybe for a different office again?
(10:31):
I, you know, I would probably.
Reach out a little bit more becauseit was hard to ask for campaign funds.
Just the way I grew
up,
you know, that's always difficult.
It
was hard for me.
The financial help.
It's easy to get people, Hey,let's go on to the neighborhood.
But the financial portion washard for me to ask for help.
Um, and I would probably plan that kindof thing better and get me a social
(10:57):
media person so that I wouldn't haveto be three and, you know, Three,
cover three sections of my campaign.
I have, have you had coffeeclutches that sound familiar?
A coffee clutches where somebody in yourneighborhood invites you over to their
house and they invite everybody on theirstreet to their house also to meet you.
(11:20):
So, so they, they, they could do the work.
You just sort of come in sortof like, uh, you know, a Kamala
Harris and Obama or somebody andthey're, they're all gathered there.
Um, but, but I, and I, and Imentioned that because I found that
to be one of the most effective.
effective ways for me, because I too,I'm not that gregarious a person.
(11:42):
I'm not an extrovert or moreintroverted, um, but, um, it's a
way of, uh, allowing folks to numberone, invite people on their street.
You know, so then they become sort ofleaders on their street with City Hall and
with people who are running for office.
They're happy because they sort ofdo the work and whatever, whatever.
(12:04):
Um, and at the, at the sametime that there's a little.
Not a collection plate, but there's likea little, um, um, container there where
people can put in cash or put in checksand they can do it all at the same time.
And if they want to give youtheir email or their address,
they can write it on them.
But it's sort of like a wedding, almost.
You know, they can write that down too.
(12:26):
But, but that's, that was the way I foundthat I was, I, I allowed folks to help
me, um, that, that had a multiple benefit.
One, it obviously helped mebecause they, they were doing some
of the work that I couldn't do.
Uh, but, but, but folks love that.
Um, you know, they like to be apart of it, a part of the process.
(12:48):
whether they're the candidate or not.
Um, and, um, and, and particularlymany times people like to be
the leaders on that street.
You know, and it would just be for them.
They can invite anybody, but specificallythe leader, their neighbors, rather
their close neighbors said, well, youknow, come on over to our house at four
o'clock cause we're going to have a citycouncil candidate come by and you can
(13:10):
ask her any questions you want and, andshare with her any concerns you want.
So it's, it's a good civic activity,uh, but you, you allow them to also
participate, uh, in the leadershippolitically in the community.
Thank you.
That is a really great idea.
Um, I guess I hadsomething small like that.
Like we'd have meet and greets.
(13:31):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's similar to meet and
greet.
There
wasn't a big crowd because again, I'mnew to the community in this role, but
I did still have a lot of people come.
I mean, I had people comeout that I had never met.
So that was the point as well.

And I said, okay, I need you towish me luck and clear in that box.
(01:52):
That's right.
And vote.

Yes, for sure.
So let me ask you, is, is, is thecampaign, is it what you thought it
would be or is it different or what,what, what, what, what have you learned?
I'll put it that waywith the campaign so far.
Well, you know, um, youknow, it is different.
Grassroots is always the hardest.
(02:13):
It is.
People, people got to getto know you, who you are.
But I think what I've learned asfar as my community, um, most of the

again, why did you decide to do this?
I mean, it's not something that theaverage person will wake up and say, you

Well, you know, I, I asked myself thatas well when I first got started, but I

You know, so then they become sort ofleaders on their street with City Hall and
with people who are running for office.
They're happy because they sort ofdo the work and whatever, whatever.
(12:04):
Um, and at the, at the sametime that there's a little.
Not a collection plate, but there's likea little, um, um, container there where
people can put in cash or put in checksand they can do it all at the same time.
And if they want to give youtheir email or their address,
they can write it on them.
But it's sort of like a wedding, almost.
You know, they can write that down too.
(12:26):
But, but that's, that was the way I foundthat I was, I, I allowed folks to help
me, um, that, that had a multiple benefit.
One, it obviously helped mebecause they, they were doing some
of the work that I couldn't do.
Uh, but, but, but folks love that.
Um, you know, they like to be apart of it, a part of the process.
(12:48):
whether they're the candidate or not.
Um, and, um, and, and particularlymany times people like to be
the leaders on that street.
You know, and it would just be for them.
They can invite anybody, but specificallythe leader, their neighbors, rather
their close neighbors said, well, youknow, come on over to our house at four
o'clock cause we're going to have a citycouncil candidate come by and you can
(13:10):
ask her any questions you want and, andshare with her any concerns you want.
So it's, it's a good civic activity,uh, but you, you allow them to also
participate, uh, in the leadershippolitically in the community.
Thank you.
That is a really great idea.
Um, I guess I hadsomething small like that.
Like we'd have meet and greets.
(13:31):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's similar to meet and
greet.
There
wasn't a big crowd because again, I'mnew to the community in this role, but
I did still have a lot of people come.
I mean, I had people comeout that I had never met.
So that was the point as well.
