Small world moment! Met this lady sitting next to me at the @newdealleaders Idea Summit in AZ. She is the city auditor for Albany, NY and running for mayor. My pastor (Charles Daniel of Antioch) is from Albany and she knows him.

Proud to attend a session with my Accelerator For America colleague Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix at @newdealleaders 2024 Ideas Summit, presenting on the future of transportation.

Another tremendous night celebrating the work of the Jesse Cosby Neighborhood Center at its annual gala. Thank you for protecting & serving our illustrious seniors who’ve paved the way for all of us in this community. Tremendous honor to be among giants!
