Announcing next speaker at local city council rally

(clapping) Thank you, Ms. DeArias. Our next city council candidate, James Basko, is also the youngest, just 23 years old. Mr. Basko graduated last year from State University with a BS degree in public management and a minor in English. He has lived in the city all his life, and graduated from Lincoln High School. He currently lives in the Redwood neighborhood with his fiancée. He says he's running for City Council because he thinks city government needs to be more responsive to the needs of young people. Mr. Basko is a Cub Scout leader, volunteers with the Big Brothers program, and is on the city's Youth Advisory Board. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome James Basko.
