October Democratic Alliance National Convention: Welcome to Bradford PA

[Joseph Cao]

Hey, folks. I think everyone knows where the three of us stand, mostly, and the final decision is yours to make. Just wanted to say while requesting your endorsement that the effort to raise activity which all of us have emphasized needs everyone’s backing regardless of party or whatever our aim in the game is. Obviously we all have had that experience – and, again, the merits of those will be up to you to judge. But how we have expressed that has differed, sometimes sharply. I have consistently been ready to reach beyond partisan confrontation and work things out for the betterment of all sides, as has been the case in both my AFE activity, the NPCs, and just about every legislative effort I participated in.

I’m not the most online candidate, but when I show up I always make sure I have something to say. Throughout my tenure I’ve therefore tried to make every legislative effort and every cross-partisan amendment and every debate count. That spirit and the work I’ve put in behind it is desperately needed in whoever becomes president, and I believe I have the capacity not only to work with the broad range of visions and proposals that the DA represents, but also earn your confidence in return when working with them.

I hope you’ll consider providing that confidence for this ticket, and thank you – sincerely – for listening.
