## Resource

Eric Friedman, the mayoral candidate, is turning heads with his bold stance on rent stabilization—arguing residents, not just city council, should vote on housing policies—and his hands-on approach to neighborhood issues, even outside his district. While current District Four rep Kristen Sneddon faces criticism for being unresponsive and lacking follow-through, Friedman’s track record of stepping in to help local leaders has earned praise. One neighborhood co-president shared how Friedman listens and acts, a stark contrast to their current experience. Voters are being urged to choose the candidate who truly prioritizes community voice and accountability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
