The People will determine who their next senator will be. Crowning yourself as Their senator prior to election is a recipe for disaster. Remember, I didn't start out as The People's senator. They just adopted me into their loving home. These words will get you far, young one.
Perhaps I misconstrued my words. I want to be The People's Senator, if they so allow it to be. If elected, I will legislate on their behalf. I will work for them, not the other way around.
Now that's the attitude! The People will take note of this statement and will surely adjust their ballots accordingly!
