Benjamin Pratt

"Hello, my name is Benjamin Pratt. I’m running for city council ward three.

I would like to improve the city in various ways. Crack down on crime, improve in infrastructure, and make it a safer place."

Notes:

The Public Information and Community Engagement Office for the City of Rochester is pleased to announce that the Meet the Candidates video series is now available for viewing ahead of the upcoming Municipal Election.

The nonpartisan series introduces voters to candidates for Mayor, City Council, School Board, and Police Commission. Each candidate was given up to three minutes to speak directly to voters, share their priorities, and present their personal message.

To ensure fairness and transparency, all videos were recorded live in a single take, without edits, hosts, or predetermined questions.

The views and opinions expressed in the following video are those of the candidate and do not necessarily reflect the views of the City of Rochester, its elected officials or staff. The content is presented as part of a public information effort to provide equal opportunity for all candidates to address the community.

Transcript was taken directly from the GovTV website closed captioning. AI added bold/italic fonts for emphasis and separated paragraphs where appropriate.

Greetings folks of Rochester, I've been a resident of this town since I was 13 years old. As a man diagnosed with Autism at an early age, I have the goal of making this town more aware & accepting towards people with disabilities. I plan to serve the residents of Rochester with honor and dignity, I will not fail you. My favorite things to are are write fiction, study history, and go for walks.

I am running for Rochester City Council, Ward 6. Seat Unknown at this point in time, but I assure you all, I'll update as soon as I know if it's either Seat A or Seat B. I'm running because I want to make a change in the world. I believe there needs to be more young blood involved in politics, especially those of us with Autism.

Are ya ready Rochester? Do you think #RochesterIsReady for someone like me?

I'm looking forward to doing far more for the community is coming months, talking with the neighborhoods and even local leaders.

LET'S DO THIS!
