Malachi Barrett and Bryce Huffman interview Denzel McCampbell, the newly elected District 7 City Council member, about his priorities and vision. McCampbell emphasizes community-driven policy making, equitable development, and accountability for corporations. He plans to conduct listening sessions, create resident work groups, and address issues like housing, transportation, and environmental pollution.

It’s not to say that we have to take for somewhere else, but I do think we will have to look at new revenue in a way that how can we address some of these needs.” Denzel McCampbell
