Investigative Purpose
In an effort to educate voters on this presidential candidate, Loyola undergraduate students Baher Hussein and Jaylinn Herrera opened an investigation on Mike Bloomberg. They investigated his tenure as mayor of New York City, looking beyond his accomplishments to find out how the people of city were affected.
"Micheal Bloomberg claims to be a progressive candidate who is an advocate for People of Color, but his extended tenure as mayor of New York tells an entirely different story. Although Bloomberg has had his accomplishments as mayor of New York, such as his 2003 smoking ban and his desire to raise taxes — his disdain for People of Color is evident in NYPD Crime and Enforcement reports, which vividly show how much Black and Latino victims are targeted by law enforcement under his policy of Stop and Frisk.
