When it comes to politics, Cardi B is always fully engaged and takes the matter seriously. So, it comes as no surprise that she is speaking out in support of her very good friend, Jason Lee, who is running for City Council.
In a PSA to her millions of fans on the West Coast, the rap star has urged them to get out and vote—not only in the presidential election but also for Lee, who has transformed his life in media to dedicate his time to fighting for something more impactful: changing the lives of those in his hometown.
In a video message, Cardi said, “I really want to remind you — you West Coast people to please please please, please vote for my friend Jason Lee, to be the next City Council for District 6.”
She added, “He has been working so hard, and has been collecting money, and has been hitting up everybody; every friend to raise money for his city. And I’m telling you, Jason Lee got money, so he don’t ever gotta take your money [or] steal your money. He wants to change your community.”
Cardi, who has been a longstanding supporter of Jason Lee, continued, “It is so important to vote in your local elections. It is actually as important as voting in your presidential election. So please please please, please vote for Jason Lee. I swear to God, on me. He gonna change our community, on me.”
Ahead of Election Day, Jason also reflected on these last couple of months, “My journey as a candidate has reminded me of one thing: Stockton, you’re incredible. With only one day left, let’s bring it home. We are just hours away from creating the chance we need to fix this community. The hard work will soon begin. The wait for change is almost over. I’m excited and ready.”
