Noordegraaf (2015) asserts that management is all about administration. We urgently need an administrator to manage our local resources. I have taken part in numerous budgeting processes for the community. I have helped the local council utilize its resources effectively, bringing forth innumerable benefits for all. I could not have achieved all that without having basic critical financial knowledge. Our community needs a prudent and intelligent planner, financially and socially. The last couple of years have seen the community slide down in the county index, a trend that will soon see the many gains made in the previous decade go to waste. I ask of your support, your vote, and your dedication to transforming the community for our future children. I do not partake in propaganda politics that only strive to achieve personal interests, and I believe that as a professional economist with over five years in financial management, I am the best to manage our community resources.
My business experience goes without saying. My contribution towards the elevation of the local council’s financial index is proof that I have the knowledge, skills, and ability to turn around the community’s dwindling fortunes. I have successfully managed two companies that are currently performing well at the New York Stock Market. I need to remind you that it is my efforts that enabled the council to streamline its IRS’s records according to the Federal government’s requirements. I need not tell you also that it is due to my dedication and substantial commitment that the now running waste management system is back in the council’s management. My professional and extensive knowledge of socio-economic affairs has enabled me to engage with multiple institutions to amend loopholes that have seen us lose resources to scrupulous deals. I am ready to commit my broad experience for the good of our children and future children.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
My fellow countrymen, ladies, and gentlemen, running for a local electable seat, are no mean feat. It is a dedication ( Stillman, 2016) . It is a way of forgetting oneself and embarking on the murky waters of public scrutiny. Running for a public office is a calling ( Stillman, 2016) . It is a way of putting others first and upholding their interest for the good of today, tomorrow, and the future. I want to walk with you in your struggles; I want to be the one you look up to when you need guidance and solutions.
My commitment to your needs is my number one priority, my number one endeavor. Your challenges and troubles will be my troubles. I understand the challenging moment of current times. It is high time we find a lasting solution to the myriad problems, especially those that affect our youths. Drug abuse is wasting our teens. We need to act, and acting will only be achieved by joining together and giving me the mantle to solve the problem of drug abuse in the community.
It is barely three weeks since we lost our beloved son, who died due to drug overdose. It is immoral, unethical, and unprofessional, to sell drugs to young people, especially medical drugs that come with no physician’s prescription. It is high time we change our drug policies to safeguard such cases. Losing a twelve-year-old child is sad, very sad. It is a memory that is still fresh in our minds, and I continue commiserating with the family of James Parker for the loss of their son. I need your vote on this, and I promise you that drug abuse will be a thing of the past in our community. Let me commit to taking the issue of drug abuse as a personal matter once you elect me as your representative. Never again will Ford locals bury their young ones due to drug overdose, drug abuse, and irresponsible medication. I ask your vote on this to bring to an end unethical act that may soon leave the country without the youth. The youth are our only hope of a decent old age. If we don’t care for their well-being, we are all doomed and wasted.
Our community is dragging behind in nearly all sectors. In agriculture, we are the least productive community in Ford County. In 2017, we only managed to produce 17000 bags of rice against a target of 100000 bags. The agriculture sector is ailing from misuse and underuse of resources stemming from lack of knowledge and poor harnessing of resources. In 2016, the mayor’s office dispersed a total of 50 bags of fertilizer to the locals, and nearly all of them were not appropriate. The agriculture department failed to research on the type of fertilizer that was best with the soil. The community and most farmers realized a loss of nearly USD300 million. In the education sector, only half of our student’s population attains a college education. Out of the half, only a third takes on technical and engineering courses. With the advancement in technology, our community will continue lagging in a susceptible and vital sector; Information Technology. We need to change the system. Every parent needs to motivate their children to undertake science-based and information technology courses. With this, we are poised to change the community’s overall standing as per growth and development.
However, this can only be achieved by changing the policies and guidelines of our learning institutions. The community boasts of only three fully-fledged colleges and one university. We need to have at least two more universities that will challenge the present status quo of students, only preferring art-based courses. We need to have at least 300 or 1000 students graduating from our institutions with science-based degrees or diplomas. Konstantinou (2018) emphasize that such can only change this if leaders engage in honest discussions and reflection.
I must commend the health sector for its remarkable contribution to the well-being of our community members. However, more needs to be done. In the past five years, our community has been faced with numerous non-communicable diseases. Last year alone saw over 100 cases of incurable diseases. We urgently need to harness some of the health services to achieve a high standing on matter health. While the unit is fully equipped, I would like to see more physicians and nurses.
If we can all remember, between 2012 and 2016, our local dispensary in Sibley had over 10 cases of suicide. The suicide cases were of three physicians, four nurses, and three paramedics. Investigations revealed a high-stress level and burnout. I must reiterate that it is our poor lop-sided system and policies at our local health facility that has dramatically caused high-stress levels of our beloved health professionals. More doctors, physicians, nurses, paramedics, and community health workers are needed to avert the rising trend Davidson, Mendis, Stuck, DeMichele, & Zisook, 2018) .
The above can only be achieved if healthcare policies are integrated made realistic and practical ( Valdez, Cayaban, & Mathews 2019) . We must commit to establishing procedures that are realistic and practical within the health sector. On this, I will give full dedication ones you vote me in as your representative. If there is one sector that we need to pay keen attention to, it is the health sector. I will not take it lightly, especially on policies and practices that put our locals and professionals at risk. I kindly ask for your vote to take the mantle of our community’s values and culture.
