Is this supposed to make us dislike him? This makes him more personable than most. 99% of us are closer to having our car repoed than being wealthy.

Sure, but he just got elected as a Democrat mayor…so, soon, he’ll miraculously be a millionaire.🙄

Republicans will make fun of a young Democrat who experienced poverty but give 10 years of unconditional support to the world's most hideous frauds and perverts

So a 24-year-old was installed by the progressive machine to oversee a town of 38,000, but he literally cannot even manage his own personal car payments while living under his parents' roof. Good luck, Belleville. You are definitely going to need it.

39% of the population in Belleville is Hispanic, he was elected because of his race, not because he is qualified.

I'm sure he will manage city finances better than his personal finances. Just make sure he does not use public money to fund his personal life. Dems have a habit of this.

Keep an eye on him and his banking account, I bet within the year he will have a luxury cat and huge account from being a Democrat thief

I'm sure he's going to do an amazing job managing the city's finances. Can't even pay his own car bill on time 🤦‍♀️
