Good evening (I suppose), my fellow Northeasterners. First of all, I would want to thank my opponents for agreeing for this simple, yet meaningful debate. And of course to our moderator tonight, cinyc, and I can say this is a great privilege and honor for me to participate tonight. I also want to thank my many friends in Atlasia, for their support and also to the members of the Federalist Party for their trust in me as I wage this bid. First of all, I should make it very clear that I'm most proud to be a Northeasterner.
Reflecting on my ten months experience as a legislator, I've been through good times and bad times. I've witnessed my original colleagues leave the assembly and move on to higher levels. Many times, I've considered leaving also, I decided to stay until now even though my colleagues are coming from new sectors and from a newer generation of Atlasia. I've witnessed several crucial bills that can change the face of our region forever.
First of all, why did I run? That might have been your question also. This is not about being an independent or being a partisan leader. But it is about who is fit for office. Under our previous three governors, we've witnessed a lot of changes in this region, mostly beneficial. Their good performance are one of the factors why I am running in this election. Yes I've said that we don't have a Federalist governor in the Northeast, but it is not being about a Federalist, it is about bringing new ideas.
Now, here is what I'm fighting for (1) keep the legacies of our recent governors, as well the past governors alive by keeping most of their programs and projects that are still beneficial. (2) Better cooperation between the three branches of our government. (3) balance the current budget, although I can say that it is okay at this time but we will still try to make the best, better. There are still more to come.
As part of a big nation, gearing towards a newer one, constitution. I am optimistic and I am hopeful about our future yet until there is still work to do, we cannot rest. My government will not be a government in seclusion, but a transparency government. We will update you on our actions, decisions. I will also form a better cabinet to ensure a stable government in the months to come.
Thank you
