Thank you.
Distinguished members of the Labor Party,
Thank you for the opportunity to address you today.
Since the days of the Great Dissolution, it has been my distinct pleasure to work with members of the Labor Party in achieving common goals and finding common ground on issues that we both care about. While we may not agree on the specifics of these ideas 100% of the time, I have always seen that it was of utmost importance to maintain healthy ties between our parties. Unfortunately, there have been needless bitter rivalries between our members at times, and it is the attitude which ignites those battles to be far more of a threat to the leftist cause than anything else. If I am elected governor, I am promising to maintain a healthy relationship with members of all parties, and Labor will always have a seat at the table. It is the Labor Party with which I intend to work closest with so that our longheld tradition of bipartisanship may be continued.
If I am fortunate to be elected Governor of the Northeast Region, one of my top priorities will be to expand our economy so that every Northeasterner may have a well-paying job. Even with my intention to reduce spending wherever possible, I will not do anything that damages the integrity and well-being of the worker. On top of that, our laws must be enforced, and it will be a priority of my administration to address the persistent factor that often instigates criminal behavior: poverty. It is a sad truth that poverty leads to crime just as crime leads to poverty, and justice must be balanced with common sense in our legal system. With that, I assure you that my new anti-crime program will seek to put the disenfranchised in a better socieconomic position on an individual basis for the safety and well-being of all.
Finally, I cannot stress enough the virtues of activity and confidence in our elected officials to lead their constituents responsibly. I am promising you all that the Northeast will have an active governor and capable leader. It is with that, that I humbly ask for the Labor Party's endorsement. I ultimately believe that the Labors will feel more assured of having an ally in the Governor's Mansion if I am elected instead of my opponent -- together, we can enjoy the benefits of having a people-oriented economy and a pragmatic system of governance, with every voice at the table.
I appreciate the support I have from a few of your members already such as our Assembly's Speaker, Alfred F. Jones, as well as Assembly candidate Barnes, and I would be incredibly honored to have the party's official endorsement.

Thank you all again.
