The constituents of District 9. Can

about District 9 has spoken toyour heart in a way that's
invited you to have this desireto run for city council?
Ernest Banda (01:27):
Well, growing up, in District 9 back in '69
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (01:31):

Ernest Banda (01:34):
We had the best Spanish galleon restaurant there
at the corner in NorthwestHighway and Abrams.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (01:39):
Okay.
Ernest Banda (01:39):
And then Medallion Center had the movie theaters
opening up, and their firstshowing was Butch Cassidy and
Sundance Kid. And just theneighborhoods were great. I
mean, I know on on the Northside, of Northwest Highway, a
lot of woods and stuff backthen.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (01:55):
Oh, yeah.
Ernest Banda (01:56):
And so and I had my godfather and godmother come
out and visit, and he'd had hehad wild side at his age, had a
motorcycle, so he had to go takea ride. My mom wouldn't let me
go because she wasn't sure abouthis anyway. So, yeah, it's the
beauty. I mean, we have the whatI call the Central Park feature
(02:18):
as in White Rock. I mean, as aCub Scout and all that, we would
go and walk the trails for thebadges and stuff forth and do
all that kind of stuff.
And yeah, it's it's beautiful. Imean
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (02:32):
It is.
Ernest Banda (02:33):
Well, there's some things that could be...
Everything around infrastructureas as age as we all age. Right?
But, yeah, the people were orhave been great. You have your
naysayers once in awhile, you know? I don't wanna
be racist, but some of them, wewere like the first ones in the
(02:55):
neighborhood.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (02:56):
Oh, okay. Latino.
Ernest Banda (02:58):
Yes. So sometimes we were kinda frowned upon.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (03:02):
Mhmm.
Ernest Banda (03:03):
You know? And but overall, the rest of the
community, like my when the thename when we moved in over
there, off of Abrams, my nextdoor neighbor, Miss Edwards. She
was great. And she used to loveasking me questions and invite
me to well, I know that shewould be cutting, and I'd just
go cut the yard.
(03:23):
You know? So she and I kinda hada bond. You know? And she was a
white older lady.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (03:29):
Uh-huh.
Ernest Banda (03:29):
But she was great. She was great. But, yeah,
overall, I I live in a greatneighborhood.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (03:36):
That's terrific. Yeah. I hear so many
beautiful things, and I spendsome time out there, a good good
bit, I guess, this point. I usedto spend more before I had kids.
So I know that you're, like likeI said, representing this
particular district.
I have to get this clear. Somany people have told me, no. He
goes by Ernie. No. It's Ernesto.No. It's Ernest. Do you go by
Ernest? Ernesto or Ernie Banda?
Ernest Banda (03:58):
No. No Ernie.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:12):
No. I've heard someone say
Ernest Banda (04:14):
It's either Ernest or Ernesto. I mean
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:16):
Ernesto. Yes.
Ernest Banda (04:17):
Yeah. Mean, that's
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:17):
I've been told by two people.
Ernest Banda (04:18):
When we
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:19):
moved back I don't know.
Ernest Banda (04:20):
When we moved back down here, I mean, I I went to,
it's still there, the school on,Singleton Boulevard.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:28):
Uh-huh.
Ernest Banda (04:29):
And I can't think of the intersection offhand,
but, Saint Mary's of Carmel, Ithink it is.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:34):
Okay.
Ernest Banda (04:35):
And it's right across from my little hamburger
stand
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:39):
Mhmm.
Ernest Banda (04:40):
On the the other corner. But, anyway, that's
where I was I had started my prepre kindergarten and stuff, and
I only spoke Spanish
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:48):
Uh-huh.
Ernest Banda (04:48):
Because my my folks and my family. Mhmm. So,
you know, as time goes on whenyou're in the school, you
assimilate
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:55):
That's right.
Ernest Banda (04:56):
To be able to go ahead and
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (04:57):
Did your parents work with you on
eliminating your accent?
Ernest Banda (05:04):
I really couldn't say, to be honest with you. I
can tell you, Well, the reasonwhy I'm probably not
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:12):
Uh-huh.
Ernest Banda (05:13):
Because even before my mom passed away
because my dad passed awayfirst. When my mom passed away,
she goes, hey. Can you go aheadand move that chair over? I said
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:26):
The chair?
Ernest Banda (05:27):
Oh, yeah. I look around and going, can you point
to that chair for me? Are wetalking about the singer or the
chair?
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:33):
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love that.
Ernest Banda (05:35):
I tease her.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:35):
Of course.
Ernest Banda (05:36):
She's a she was that's how I I learned a lot
from my parents, especially mymom. She's a very, very smart
lady.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:45):
I love that.
Ernest Banda (05:45):
Very, very bold.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:47):
Your district is one of my favorites.
Ernest Banda (05:49):
Well, thank you. Yeah. It really been there for,
you
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:52):
know, long time. Yes. For decades.
Ernest Banda (05:54):
Exactly.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (05:54):
And so it's interesting to me because
as a professional in the foodspace, the consumer business
space. I know you volunteered alot considerably. How in the
world is it now that you've toldyourself, I am now ready to
(06:16):
place myself out there and servein this capacity?
Ernest Banda (06:21):
Well, to be honest with you, I think it's because
of the fact that there's certainthings in what's going on around
the areas that are trying tomake that change, and it's
gotten a little bitdeteriorated. Mhmm. And I like
it to be brought back as it werewhen I first moved in that area.
(06:43):
Yep. You know, where you couldfeel, you know, safe just to go
to the walk to the nearest storeor whatever, you know, or bike
wherever you want withoutanybody coming in and trying to
say, hey, give me that bike orwhatever the case may be.
I mean, I've had that a coupleof times happen work walking the
trail back by the railroadtrack. Train. And, of course, it
(07:06):
happened to a homeless person.But but yeah. I mean, at that
time, since I worked in theindustries that I have, I knew
how what to act in a certain wayto where they they know that
just to back off.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (07:21):
Of course.
Ernest Banda (07:22):
But I'm fortunate to have that. A lot of people,
when they have the confrontationlike that, they they don't know
sometimes how to react. That'sright. So that's how they take
get taken advantage of.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (07:33):
It's so true.
Ernest Banda (07:35):
But that's what I wanna get back to, having that
safe feel, being able to eitherwalk in or biking wherever you
wanna go, visiting the neareststores, you know, because
there's been a lot of change aslike, we talked about
restaurants and so forth. Yep. Iknow, you know, industry needs
to grow, but you also have tohave that public safety feel,
(07:57):
too. To be able to do that. Towhere people wanna come around
that area. And, yeah, that'sthat's what I think about.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (08:07):
Yes. Be an active participant in
creating what you grew up with.
Ernest Banda (08:11):
Exactly.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (08:12):
Because it is it's changed tremendously.
Ernest Banda (08:15):
Mhmm.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (08:16):
And so I'm I just kinda like to find
out that turning point for eachperson that I sit with with
respect to anyone who's runningin the May because it's it's
critical. It's critical. And howdo you believe that you'll be
able to have a different adifferent movement, if you will,
(08:38):
with your constituents and foryour constituents versus Paula
Blackmon who's had that seatsince 2019?
Ernest Banda (08:47):
Well, I believe, in in talking with a lot of
people. Public safety is one ofthe big issues that they're
concerned with. Like, we're justtalking about.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (08:57):
Yep.
Ernest Banda (08:57):
Yeah. For sure. And I've read and I've heard
from a lot of people that, she'sgone against that.
Unfortunately, now I can'tunderstand why that kind of
thinking would be because of thefact that how are you gonna
bring in businesses, you know,when they hear, oh, you know,
(09:19):
this this or that happened? Orhow are you gonna bring in
customers to those businessesthat are trying to make it right
now? You know? I mean, I'veheard also about people, I don't
like going to the city aroundthat area because of the fact
that, you know, there'ssomebody's you know, I'm afraid
to get mugged or whatever. AndI'm thinking, okay. So why are
(09:39):
you trying to not increase thelevel of police officers that we
net need not only in ourdistrict, but across the whole
city, period. You know? I wastalking, sometimes when I, I
don't know if you're get this.Sometimes I wake up, I can't
sleep, so I go outside and pray.And I can hear gunshots coming
(10:03):
from the south end of the city.And I'm thinking, I hope
nobody's getting injured.Please. That's not needed. I
mean, it sounds like they'reshooting it in the air, but
don't know I'm not there. Youknow? That's that's that's why
it's needed for additionalofficers that we need, to be out
(10:26):
there to help. Of course,training needs to be involved.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (10:30):
Of course.
Ernest Banda (10:32):
Vetted as well. But yeah. Bringing in additional
officers is definitely neededright now.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (10:40):
Okay. Well, it seems like you have a
wealth of experience, especiallyexperience that involves really
serving people in some capacity.
Ernest Banda (10:51):
Right.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (10:52):
You have a heart for it, a mind for it.
And is there anything else thatyou wanna add to kinda help
paint a better picture about whoyou are, what you stand for,
that we haven't potentiallycovered in this conversation?
Ernest Banda (11:08):
When I say I'm gonna let you do something Or
hear you Or you ask of me Yes,I'll make every effort to make
that happen all the way around.I'll put my ear for you. If it's
a good stand, I will stand withyou and try to bring back the
(11:29):
best solutions that we can whereit's not monetary.
Sarah Zubiate Bennett (11:35):
Mhmm. Yep. I get it. I get it. And I
appreciate you saying that andsharing it because it's like
they just something that needsto happen in general Right.
Across our world. But it'seasier said than done. Right?
With the fast paced world thatwe live in today.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
