Jon Penn Junejo, the Democratic candidate for Assembly District 36, took to the stage next to discuss his campaign for a seat in the state Legislature.

“The biggest thing that we’re trying to do with the campaign is to increase awareness around the fundamental issues, which seem like they’re not being acknowledged like they should,” Junejo explained before speaking. “So the biggest one, in my view, is mental health, increasing primary care services here, which we don’t have, improving the education system, particularly high schools here … and then also it’s economic stability.”
