We Did It! *|FNAME|*, We have made history tonight! I received a call tonight informing me that I had been nominated as the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 28th District. I am honored not only to be your candidate, but I humbled to be both the first African-American nominee to represent Stafford or Fredericksburg in the House of Delegates as well as the youngest candidate to be nominated in the District's history. I will be following in the footsteps of pioneers before me, such as Dr. William Ferguson Reid, the first African-American in Virginia’s General Assembly since Reconstruction, and Rev. Lawrence Davies, Fredericksburg’s first black mayor. These groundbreaking individuals paved the way for me and I am indebted to them. Although it is nice to make history this is not the history we want and need to make. Our goal is much higher and our aim is for Richmond. Let’s make this dream a reality. …show more content…
When I first announced my bid for candidacy earlier this year I was delighted by the support I received from members of our community. I have watched this movement grow and I am eager to continue our fight. As a result of this nomination, my name will not be on the Primary ballot on June 13, but it will be on the General Election ballot in November. Can you help us spread the word and mobilize our campaign? I could not have accomplished what I have so far without your help.

Moreover, my platform for the campaign was to improve the quality of education and provide affordable costs to students. Besides this, I focused on the roads of Texas and their status. The roads are not good enough and are undergoing construction. I am standing on those issues and on reducing the tolls. My platform also considered the advancement in public health. I focused on improving the health services of the people. My agenda is particularly on providing easily accessible medicines and services to the public so that they can be benefitted. ‘Health is wealth’ is my propaganda. Since, my platform is focused on such issues and my agenda have positive impact on the education, health, and transportation, my placement on these committees is justified. It serves my district’s needs. We have less health services and people cannot afford those facilities. Expenses are higher for people. Improving the

Deciding to run for the Texas State Senate, was a life-changing decision. The effort I had to put into this campaign was extraordinarily time-consuming, but the end is almost near, and I know it will all be worth it. Running for office in Texas will not only cost thousands of dollars, but the number of votes will also matter to me. By the end of this campaign, I am sure I will not only win the elections for the people but also change the perspective of my voters. Because I know if you have the materials needed to succeed, you will achieve.
James: The Little Rock Nine inspired me to enrol and continue the fight towards a desegregated society. I want the world to accept people regardless of their skin colour and allow their voices to be heard.
As I am sure you are aware, the 2014 General Elections are quickly approaching. While there are many interesting initiatives on the ballot, there is one initiative in particular that could benefit from your support, as you can from it. Proposition 2 is a bill supported by not only the Democratic and Republican caucuses, but also by countless organizations and newspapers, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association, California Chamber of Commerce, La Opinion, Long Beach Press Telegram and Los Angeles Times ("Save Your Votes and View Endorsements.”). In addition, some proponents of the bill are contributors to your campaign, such as the California Chamber of Commerce (We Draw the Lines, 2014).Your political

First off I want to say that I am very happy to see all of you here. I am going to use this time to announce my candidacy for Senate. After much deliberation I have decided to leave the House of Representatives after my three terms and run for a position in the United States Senate. I believe that I am the right candidate for this position for several reasons. First of all, I was in the House for six years, because of this I understand how the institution is run from the inside, and I understand the problems of the Senate. I believe that this is a very important aspect when running for the Senate. Second I realize that Congress has some fundamental problems, that come from individual goals as well as institutional goals, and I want to take
