What if I told you that the city of Inglewood is home of the largest percentage of Democrats in the state of California. Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly larger populations within the state. 870K in San Francisco, 527K in Sacramento, 435K in Oakland, 300K in Stockton, while Inglewood only has a population, just over 101,000. Yet, while our actual headcount is smaller, our registration is mighty, and the Secretary of State reports that pound for pound, Inglewood as a voting block has the largest “percentage” of democratic voters at 74.1%. Oakland is a close second at 66.7% registered democrats, 5.9% Republican and 27%+ DTS or Independent.
These are just an interesting cadre of numbers, but our representative in DC, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, in 
her roll on the House Financial Services Committee recently chaired a full committee hearing with Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell. Madam Congresswoman took aim at the economic successes of the present administration, highlighting the various legs of the present economy, She accentuated the creation of 15.7 million jobs, including last month’s addition of 206,000 new positions filled. Her messaging seemed to be directed at the sustained weight of interest rates on the economy, in spite of consistently low unemployment numbers, declining inflation, rising wages, and price stability among both goods and services.
Historic legislation, some led by Ms. Waters, and enacted by the president was also highlighted during the conference. Such initiatives that lowered costs, rebuilt infrastructure, supporting small business, eliminated junk fees, and wiped out $144 billion in federal student loan debt are important initiatives beneficial to young folks entering the job markets.
Our congresswoman also addressed the ongoing housing crisis. Although there has been visible progress, combating housing inflation, housing and homelessness still poses a risk to 50% of Americans that pay 30% of their income for rent. Ms Waters has a bill that need s to be passed. The “Housing Crisis Response Act” proposes over $150 billion in affordable housIng investment, with plans to create nearly 1.4 million affordable homes.
We are not there yet., and the Biden agenda is not completed. you We still have outstanding private sector efforts that must be are realized. Important diversity and inclusion efforts are investments that will strengthen the economy and resist outlandish democracy ending proposals, recently introduced into the public sphere of ideas, by MAGA Republicans. Their 2025 Plan, designed as a blueprint for the next Republican President, must be defeated at the ballot box,
Do you know who you are in a dream? Your vote counts for more than a statistic..
