[0:00] I'm Khali Herur and I'm honored to [0:01] [music] serve as St. Paul's mayor. As a [0:04] refugee, a mom, and a neighbor, I have [0:07] [music] seen how a safe home, a good [0:09] job, and a welcoming community can [0:11] change the course of a family's life. [0:13] That's the St. Paul I'm committed [0:15] [music] to building with you. In new [0:17] housing going up across our city, in the [0:19] quiet corners of our libraries, [music] [0:21] and in the energy of our recreation [0:23] centers, I see the same hope. Families [0:26] who deserve stable housing. Kids who [0:28] have the opportunity to [music] learn [0:29] and play and neighbors who feel safe and [0:32] connected on our east [music] side [0:34] corridors at local grocery stores, [0:36] schools, youth spaces, cultural centers, [0:39] and future sites like the Hams Brewery [0:41] Redevelopment. [music] [0:42] We're reimagining what's possible. That [0:45] means preserving what people love about [0:47] their neighborhoods while opening to new [0:49] opportunities. Our [music] next chapter [0:51] will be written in every community, and [0:53] it will take all of us. will invest in [0:56] affordable homes and vibrant local [0:57] businesses, protect our libraries [0:59] [music] and parks, and make sure every [1:02] young person can see their future here. [1:04] I am excited [music] for what we can [1:06] build together for a St. Paul that is [1:08] safer, more affordable, more connected, [1:11] and full of possibilities for everyone [1:14] [music] who calls it home.
