And I tell everybody, ‘You know, I don't have a rule book or guidelines that I have to follow. I kind of make the rules as I go.’ Because at the end of the day, this is all about helping people in certain situations.” - Cody Oakes

We're going to do this with deep passion for the city that we live in. We're going to do this without agendas.” - Sebastian Rusk“That's how you inflict change is that you're, you know, from a civic perspective, you've been able to cultivate, a community of people that believe in what you're doing and understand your message and see eye to eye with that. And then in turn, when it turns political, you've already got that base. They're a true base.” - Sebastian Rusk"Change is a word that can trigger a lot of people. It's more about giving the power back to the people." - Marvin Tapia"We need a commissioner that's going to walk in through the front door with his head held up high, and not one that's going to walk out the back door in handcuffs." - Marvin TapiaThis is not going to be a win for me. I don't see it as a personal thing. I see it as a district-wide, city-wide win. So if I win, we all win." - Marvin TapiaSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSSebastian RuskInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondthestorypodcast/Facebook:
