political profi les district 11
BY KEVIN PAZMINO
Why are you running?
Our current governor and
mayor have botched the vaccine
roll out. I would help to coordinate
localized vaccine distribution.
I do not agree with the defunding
or the reallocation of
funds from the Police. As management
I feel accountability
should come from the top down.
I do not believe that the problems
we see are due to racism.
Since the demographics of the
police force closely mirror our
community. Over 50% of the police
force is African American ,
Hispanic, or Asian. The other
45% is made up of “white” offi -
cers of various nationality and

BRONX TIMES R 26 EPORTER, MARCH 5-11, 2021 BTR
and have worked in fi lm and
TV production for the past 17
years. I decided to enter the political
arena because of the mismanagement
the democratic
party has shown in our state
and local municipalities. I am
running to bring back accountability
to public service.
What are the biggest challenges
facing the district
and how will you solve them?
What will you do differently
than Councilman Cohen?
The biggest issue we currently
face is safely reopening
schools and businesses. I am
proud to say that the fi lm and tv
industry has gone above and beyond,
when it comes to its handling
of the pandemic.
We have developed protocols
that exceed the standards
of most municipalities. I would
use these protocols as a frame
work to reopen safely. These
protocols involve: proper education
for the public on hygiene
and rigorous testing schedules
for employees.
What’s your political experience?
What endorsements
do you have?
I am not a politician and my
campaign does not except monetary
donations. I do not want
the people’s hard-earned money.
I want their support. I have not
sought out the endorsements
of any specifi c union or entity.
I am only looking to represent
the people of District 11. I have
17 years of experience dealing
with union representatives in
the fi lm industry. My approach
to dealing with unions and
other entities is simple. Their
members are my constituents. I
would look to the constituents of
district 11 to participate in their
unions and guilds. Through this
we can educate each other on our
common needs and fi nd ways to
accomplish common goals.

If funeral homes were all the same,
Ours wouldn’t be the family choice
The families of our community so often choose our funeral home. Some come to us to pre-plan
arrangements because we offer all the options and choices they desire. Others come to us at their
time of need seeking guidance, support and the certainty of a funeral service that is correct in
every way. Should your family fi nd itself in need of our services, we hope you’ll make the choice so
many in our community have.
