-Introduction-
I have decided to run for a position on the City Council of Washington DC. I am doing this for a few reasons. The first of which being, I feel as if I can inflict positive change for DC, and those who enjoy it. I feel that DC has not been running as efficiently as it should lately. Washington DC needs to progress in order to flourish, and I feel that I have the necessary abilities to cooperate with other council members and the mayor to push through legislation and things of that nature, to further improve the city as a whole. I am also very big on listening to the public. After all, that's what democracy is all about isn't it? I have been ignored by lawmakers, I know the feeling. You put them in office, then they just reap the benefits for a term before coming back and begging for your vote once more. I want to put an end to this. While I cannot change how other councilmen and women interact with those who elected them, I can make sure that I treat the people with the respect they deserve. I will accept PMs that include suggestions at all times. I'll look your suggestion over and give you an honest response. No one will be ignored. Now, my three main issues are as follows.
-Corruption in Washington DC-
As we all know, corruption is a problem. It's a big problem. However, I am a realistic candidate. I know that we cannot eradicate corruption. It simply will not happen. There will always be those who only want to serve themselves. I do however, feel that we should take steps to minimize corruption as much as possible. This may include better ways of ensuring that those who receive positions of authority are qualified for said position. This could also include increased punishment for corruption. No one is above the law. Your rank, status, friends, etc should not matter when you are investigated for corruption charges. Together, this is an issue that we can tackle.
-Employment in Washington DC-
Employment is an issue that has been lingering for quite some time. The American middle class have been pushed aside by the very individuals they elect to represent them. As I have said, I am a realistic candidate. Can we give every last person in this group a job? Absolutely not. Can we give as many people as possible jobs? Absolutely. I will take initiative to bring forth programs and things of that nature that will provide good jobs for working class Americans. The government will no longer turn a blind eye to the majority. I will ensure that the programs I introduce serve a purpose. I will not introduce pointless programs simply to fulfill my campaign promise. I will make sure that they serve a viable purpose, and consult the American people BEFORE bringing them before the council. I sincerely feel that if we can focus on this issue, we can begin to employ more Americans day by day.
-Public Involvement in Washington DC-
I touched on this in my introduction. This one matters a lot to me. I know that there is and have been countless people elected to public office that completely ignored the very people who gave them that job after they get elected. They spend their term in office building relationships with powerful people and reaping the benefits of public office, rather than trying to inflict meaningful change in the community that elected them. I have been ignored, and chances are, you have too. I will read, consider, and reply to EVERY suggestion I get. I will reply honestly, and after careful consideration the suggestion you make. Let's bring back the foundation that democracy was founded on, let's listen to the people once more!
-Conclusion-
As you have hopefully seen, I care deeply about this nation. I am running for this office because I know that I can make a difference. I know that I will do my absolute best to serve the needs of the people. I will focus in the areas of corruption, employment, and public involvement. You'd be amazed at what we can accomplish if we came together. Thank you for your time, and God bless America.
