Choctaw, MD, JD.

This is a special electionedition featuring Laura Franklin,
(00:43):
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.
I dunno, techno the camp,you know, the campaign.
In my opinion, the pancampaign is going well,
(01:05):
right?
Especially for a first timer.
Sure.
Um, I've met a lot of folks throughthe community, uh, shaking hands,
just really getting to know peoplewho've been here for 40 years.
Wow.
Shaking.
And
third generations.
And then people who just moved here maybeduring the pandemic for different reasons.
And, um, it's.
They're alive.
(01:25):
That's for sure.
They're wishing me well.
Um, and they are surprised tosee an African American woman,
uh, in office because again, thepercentage is low here, but they
are glad and they all wish me luck.
I said, okay, I need you to wishme luck and clear in that box.
That's right.
And vote.
(01:46):
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 areyou, 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.
It
is,
it is people, the people got toget to know you, who you are.
(02:09):
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 a smalltown like this, uh, politics can be
(02:29):
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, you know, you you'rerunning for city council.
(02:50):
And so, remind me again, whydid 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 goingto run for city council in my city.
But why you?
Well, you know, I asked myselfthat as well when I first got
started, but I didn't make thedecision till February of this year.
Okay.
(03:11):
What made me want to run is realizingrepresentation wasn't there.
Right.
Okay.
And it does matter, you know,representation matters because our city
ballpark is considered the hub of theSan Gabriel Valley and the leadership
of the hub needs to reflect the hub.
Excellent.
I needed and as the only housingcommissioner for almost three years.
(03:32):
Um, a lot hasn't been donebecause it's just me, so I've
also gotten a lot of pushback.
But the way to be part of decisionmaking is to be at the table.
And that's where I need to be, at thecity council table, at that level.
Not only, you know, just the AfricanAmericans to see we can get there,
but help the community at large.
(03:54):
Exactly.
And, and you're exactly right, yougot to have a seat at the table.
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 lessons have you learnedso far or what, what have you, um,
(04:15):
yeah, what, what lessons have youlearned so far in addition to that?
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.
Local
issues.
You can't just say I'm runningbecause there's always going to be
(04:37):
that one person that asks you thequestion that you're not prepared for.
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
(04:59):
take care of a parent or vice forit and kids and different things.
And they, they just want tolive peaceably where they live.
And again, love one another, take care ofeach other, raise their families, raise
some grandbabies, maybe buy a house.
But it's, uh, so many thingshappen 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,
(05:22):
your community or what would you say thetop two or three issues in your community
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,
(05:44):
the way the money's being spent.
Okay.
They don't all necessarily agree onwhere the money is being spent because
our tax numbers are not working for usthe way the community would like it to
work, but you've got five folks who makethe decision for the whole community.
Exactly.
I have encouraged them to show upat these city council meetings.
Yes.
(06:04):
You have three minutes.
Exactly.
Every Thursday and third Wednesdayto speak on how you feel.
You can send emails, you can makephone calls, you can show up.
But because some of this generation,the generations that live here are part
of the silent generation who raisedsilent generation parents who now
have grandkids who are vocal, there's,there's a, there's a miscommunication
(06:26):
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.
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, what your supporterswant and what their needs are, and you
(06:49):
help them to articulate those needs oryou articulate those needs with them
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?
(07:11):
Um, uh, with this?
You know, I'm, I'm stillgoing out in the community.
I am also sending text messages.
Group text messages and this is from mypersonal phone and I'm letting them know
that this is my actual phone becauseeven as a housing commissioner, you
know, we have business cards and ithas my actual phone number on there.
So it's not that they, I'mafraid someone's going to get
(07:32):
my phone number, whatever.
But, um, I'm still, like Isaid, group text messages.
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
(07:57):
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, I you know, I I could notdo this without Um, I have this I've
got students from cal poly I havegreat students from the community.
(08:18):
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
(08:39):
like, Oh, I got to go back in, but that'sbecause again, this is the grassroots way.
It is typically tiring, but at the sametime, 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.
Yes.
But it forced me out of my,some of my comfort zone as well.
(08:59):
I mean, I love talking to peoplein the community, but sometimes
when you're not familiar with aparticular neighborhood or family or
whatever's going on with them, it is.
I kind of shy away just to, I'll standover 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,
(09:20):
you
know, in a neighborhood and I'mknocking on 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 said, yeah, but sometimes, you know,you just got to get out there and do it.
Sure.
Well, you know, I wouldcompletely agree with you.
I, I know with my brief experience with,um, um, um, local city politics, it,
(09:42):
it really did make me a better person.
I, there are people who I neverwould have interreacted with.
Um, and, and I was grateful thatI had interreacted with them.
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 you will,you will definitely, well, you are
(10:03):
experiencing that right now, butlet's just say for whatever reason,
if, if it doesn't end the way youwanted for this election, um, what,
what, what are the things that youwould do differently if you were to
do this again or do something similar,maybe for a different office again?
I, you know, I would probably.
(10:25):
Reach out a little bit more becauseit was hard to ask for campaign funds.
Uh huh.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Just the way I grew
up,
you know, that's always difficult.
You know, it
was hard for me, the financial help.
It's easy to get people, Hey,let's go out to the neighborhood.
But the financial portion washard for me to ask for help.
Um, and I would probably plan thatkind of thing better and get me
(10:47):
a social media person so that Iwouldn't have to be three and three,
cover three sections of my campaign.
Have you had coffee clutches?
That sound familiar?
A coffee clash is where somebody in yourneighborhood invites you over to their
house and they invite everybody on theirstreet to their house also to meet you.
(11:11):
So, so they, they basically do the work.
You just sort of come in sortof like, Uh, you know, Kamala
Harris and Obama or somebody, andthey're, they're all gathered there.
Um, but, but I, and I, and I mentionedthat because I found that to be one of
the most effective ways for me, becauseI too, I'm not that gregarious a person.
(11:33):
I'm not an extrovert or more introverted.
Um, but, um, it's a way ofallowing folks to number one,
invite people on this street.
You know, so then they become sort ofleaders on their street with city hall
and with people who are running foroffice, their habit, because they sort
of do the work and whatever, whatever.
(11:56):
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.
(12:18):
But, but that's, that was the way I foundthat I was, I allow 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.
(12:39):
whether they're the candidate or not.
Um, and, um, and, and particularly,many 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
(13:02):
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.
That is a really great idea.
Um, I guess I had something small likethat, like we'd have meet and greets.
(13:22):
Yeah, yeah,
it's similar to a meet and greet.
wasn't, it
wasn't a big crowd because again, I'mnew to the community in this role.
Right.
So, but I, but I did stillhave a lot of people come.
I mean, I had people come out that I hadnever met, so that was the point as well.

It is typically tiring, but at the sametime, it is rewarding because again, I
get to meet people that I haven't metbefore and that I probably wouldn't have

Yes.
But it forced me out of my,some of my comfort zone as well.
(08:59):
I mean, I love talking to peoplein the community, but sometimes
when you're not familiar with aparticular neighborhood or family or

I kind of shy away just to, I'll standover to kind of see what's going on,

Have you had coffee clutches?
That sound familiar?
A coffee clash is where somebody in yourneighborhood invites you over to their
house and they invite everybody on theirstreet to their house also to meet you.
(11:11):
So, so they, they basically do the work.
You just sort of come in sortof like, Uh, you know, Kamala
Harris and Obama or somebody, andthey're, they're all gathered there.
Um, but, but I, and I, and I mentionedthat because I found that to be one of
the most effective ways for me, becauseI too, I'm not that gregarious a person.
(11:33):
I'm not an extrovert or more introverted.

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.
(12:18):
But, but that's, that was the way I foundthat I was, I allow 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.
(12:39):
whether they're the candidate or not.
Um, and, um, and, and particularly,many 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
(13:02):
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.
That is a really great idea.
Um, I guess I had something small likethat, like we'd have meet and greets.
(13:22):
Yeah, yeah,
it's similar to a meet and greet.
wasn't, it
wasn't a big crowd because again, I'mnew to the community in this role.
Right.
So, but I, but I did stillhave a lot of people come.
I mean, I had people come out that I hadnever met, so that was the point as well.
