“One person showed up. And you know what that is? That’s about respect,” Brady told crowd before urging Parker to deliver a stump speech. “She came here to respect us, to take time out of her busy schedule to come to this cocktail party. We need to show the respect back to her.”Parker seized the opportunity, grabbing the microphone and launching into a call-and-response speech that sounded much more like a rally for her campaign than a neutral party function.
Parker vowed to be an accessible mayor if elected, willing to talk to anyone about how to fix problems in the city. Two other people on the ballot, Amen Brown and Warren Bloom, made it on stage but were not allowed to speak.
