Safety: Our city has shown itself able to fend off attacks from our enemies. However, they obviously know that we're here now, and hiding is no longer an option. A strong defence is necessary, which requires improved knowledge of our surroundings. I support the formation of hidden outposts in the underdark to give us advanced warning of attacks. Also, for too long we've cowered in child-like fear and superstition of the dark lake. Our enemies are not afraid to utilize the lake, and neither should we be. Our ignorance is a liability, for as long as our enemy knows more than us, we're at a disadvantage. The Seekers are confident that, given the resources, the dark lake can be explored and utilized.
Citizen Care: I feel that our city also has a responsibility to care for its citizens. What good is it to bring freed slaves to our town only to have their children starve on our streets? We need food for the hungry and jobs for the poor. As a personal project, I've been looking into the construction of a home for homeless children.
Funding: Our defensive organizations have been able to perform well with the current budget. I would like to investigate and better understand how the Watch have used their increased funding, in order to insure your money is being used well. The Seekers, one of our oldest and most vital organizations, have long been at the bottom of the barrel concerning the budget. Councilor Ward promises an economic breakthrough with the discovery of a mining area. I propose that some of the increased funding be allocated to our Seekers, who have already proven that they will efficiently utilize their funds.
Exploration: Born and raised in Sanctuary, I understand it's purpose. A safe haven, from which we can find a way to true freedom on the surface. There are those who fear exploration, and those who would keep you down here because they enjoy the power they have acquired here. In reality, more exploration will give us greater knowledge of our surroundings, more military advantages, more resources, and the way out that we long for.
Slavery: We must continue to free those who are under the bondage of slavery. We will not leave our families behind us. We must support the Seekers in their efforts to free slaves, as more free men only makes Sanctuary stronger.
Public Awareness: The public deserves to know and understand how the council they elect works and acts. Transparency in the council, as well as our other organizations, will only increase public approval and root out corruption.
Aristocracy: The people of Sanctuary have always been free men, and we will never allow one man to rule over us. This is how tyrants are born. Only the rich benefit from distinctions in class, and having more money does not make a man better than another.
Necromancy: Sanctuary has always opposed slavery, and undead animation is the worst kind, enslaving even the soul. The ban on necromancy must continue to be enforced.
Please approach me with your concerns. I am a man of Sanctuary, born and raised here.
I look forward to a new dawn for Sanctuary.
I ask you to join me.
