I've always had a very positive relationship with the municipal labor unions - a respectful relationship.

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.

I come personally from a broken family, divorced very early in my childhood, a family with its own share of troubles, so I think that was very influential in both me believing that someday I would consistently devote myself to my own family that I created, but I think it also really affects my view of the world.
