William Blount announces his Candidacy for Cumberland's District

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Throughout the campaign, William Blount made a point to visit as many citizens and meet with them as possible. He, being seen as a local hero, does not launch Negative attacks on his opponents and sticks to a policy of being in there for 6 terms before leaving and he has made it a point to campaign for Term Limits for the Government for a major part of his policies as a Congressman from Cumberland, stating that allowing a person to run until they're of old age, have done something truly awful, or died is something akin to a Monarchy, which isn't existent in America. He campaigns for a set number of terms to prevent that from happening. He also makes note to fight to allow the Direct Election of US Senators, as he believes that US Citizens, no matter the occupation or class, should be able to vote for someone representing their state and not the Elite. His third idea is a lowering of Taxes by 5%-10% to allow for the People to have more of their own cash so they could invest more into the economy, thus allowing true growth to happen. Finally, he offers a solution to the whole Slave State/Free State Issue by creating a border at 37° N where States made South of said Border are immediately Slave States while States North of Said Border can make a choice between either Free State or Slave State. His finally ends his campaign with meeting with voters and promising that he will fight for them and only the state itself.
