| In Their Own Words |
| Carl DeMaio, on Discussing His Background: |
| “I think it probably is to some extent a product of my childhood that you keep your emotions in a box. Because it is so scary. It is so painful.” |
| April Boling, on His Political Personality: |
| “His attention is 100 percent on getting the city back on track on its fiscal issues. It doesn’t surprise me to hear that rather than playing the piano, he’s walking precincts.” |
| Donna Frye, on Their Split: |
| “What I found is it’s not so much that Carl wants to hear what the public has to say. It’s Carl wants the public to hear what he has to say.” |
