Sales Griffin
challenges the idea of what being a leader means.
Sales Griffin and many other minorities who grow up in Chicago have faced the risk of staying in their neighborhoods and the risk of stepping out of it. With this he became the blueprint of possibilities. Sales has set his goal “to make what was possible for me, possible for everyone.”
Becoming
His purpose comes from the word of an educator. Growing up he went to a mix of cps schools and private schools, when the idea of going to college came along it seemed as the focus was more on having the possibility of applying than thinking about what he was applying for. He then got ”lucky” as he stated and earned a spot in Northwestern University where he majored in Learning and Organizational Change allowing him get involved in several entrepreneurial endeavors during his college career. Sales graduated from Northwestern 2009 with a degree of education and social policy. Sales surrounded himself in the field of entrepreneurial and education all throughout college and his life after college. His credibility was built on the amount of organizations he helped and made.
Sales Griffin is bringing back family reunions to Chicago. As a mayoral candidate he vouches to build trust , safety, and help to bring back Chicagoans to there hometowns.

Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz
- "To be honest, to be open, to be accessible, to be upfront, To BE."
Epanalepsis device repeats something from the beginning of a clause or sentence at the end to act as bookends, driving the point home.
- "communities build power"
Metonymy device is like a metaphor that compares one by referring something closely associated with it.
-"We have a school district that has had failing leaders time, time, and time again..."
Epizeuxis device repeats one word for emphasis.
- Ethos 2:53 - 3:09
"Their is an immense amount of anguish frustration right now at the fact that the city has not been completely straightforward and upfront about the rampant abuse and cover up sexual allegations that's happening through cps..."
- Pathos 7:04 - 7:22
"Now we have to get to the bottom of this as a community, as a community we need to step up and have a little sit down and say this isn't working. What you(Rahm Emmanuel) have been doing and how you do it doesn't work, I had that conversation with myself and a lot of other people in the past year that why we are where we are right now that's why I'm running for mayor..."
- Logos 9:42 - 11:11
"Buts its not just an individual though just think about it if it's Rahm Emmanuel if it's someone else if it's Richard Daley if it's whoever is going to be next, if we don't fix the systemic issue of dealing with the wrong set incentives and motivations that causes politicians and our Mayor to hide things to with hold things to adjust things to massage manufacture and finesse information in a way that helps reinforce chances of getting re elected, If we don't solve for that it wont matter who is mayor." Jeff responds (interviewer) , "So how do we solve for that ?" Sales responds, "The first step is learning from some of our counterparts and sister cities that are doing well. Looking at the larger cities New York and L.A when you look at schools when you look at crime when you look at voter engagement when you think about population increase all thing that Chicago is struggling at and you look at these places seeing what they have v.s what we don't you see they have term limits they have campaign finance reform , they have laws that are emplace in order to not have politicians aren't simply incentivized to retain their power as long as possible. Chicago hasn't been doing that for decades so that has to change if that doesn't change doesn't matter what promises we make to our Police Department and schools without changing the political system there cant be no there promises for change.
