Saeteros's call comes after she shared a video that appears to show a sexual encounter taking place in an alleyway along Main Street during the day.

A resident in District 10, City of Poughkeepsie, sent videos to Saetero.

"I was assured a week ago by the 7th ward Councilwoman of the City of Poughkeepsie that this would be taken care of," she wrote on Facebook while sharing the video. "I will be sending an email to the City Administrator, Chief of Police and the entire Common Council of the City of Poughkeepsie demanding a resolve to this years long issue."

The political candidate is positioning herself as a newcomer dedicated to addressing community issues like drug use and quality-of-life concerns.

The incident caught on camera happened near 605 Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie. The homeowner has asked city officials and the mayor for help, but got "no assistance," according to Saetero.

"I am asking you to respect our City and fix this. There is continued drug use and prostitution, using area as a bathroom and loitering behind the alley of that building. Fix this immediately please," Saetero added.
