As I prepare to hand over my seat to Senator-elect Devout Centrist, I recognize that our region and our nation are in tumultuous times.  Fighting a pandemic while confronting systematic racism in our criminal justice system, and in our institutions, will take the hard work of both citizens and our elected officials from the city council to the Atlasian Congress and the White House.

Frémont recognizes this, and that is why I'm pleased to see our Parliament deliberate over policies that will demilitarize the police and restore civil liberties to the people.  These conversations are necessary to have.  And while our proposals to achieve those ends may differ, we all should agree that we need radical change, not more of the same.

To do that, my plan is to implement all planks of the 8 Can't Wait campaign.  To summarize, those planks are to:

1. Ban chokeholds and strangleholds - Minneapolis did not ban this practice until more than a week after a police officer slowly killed George Floyd by suffocating him in a chokehold
2. Require de-escalation - Officers must try to calm a situation down when possible, rather than immediately use force.
3. Require warning before shooting - In many places, an officer can fire a gun as soon as they perceive a threat, without warning.
4. Exhaust all other means before shooting - This policy exists in just over 40 cities according to Campaign Zero.
5. Duty to intervene - Police officers must hold themselves, and each other, accountable, and intervene when they see inappropriate use of force.
6. Ban shooting at moving vehicles - Firing at moving vehicles is rarely effective and often dangerous for passengers, officers, and any bystanders.  Fewer than 20 departments explicitly ban shooting at a moving vehicle.
7. Require a use-of-force continuum - A force continuum is a set of steps for determining an officer's initial reaction, their weapon choice, and when to escalate or de-escalate a situation.
8. Require comprehensive reporting - This is the standard for most officers who use, or threaten to use, force against civilians, but the authority to implement and enforce these policies varies by state.

In addition to the above, civilians who call for medical attention, get medical attention.

I am asking for your support as we continue to fight for real reform, in our neighborhoods, in our cities, in our states, in our regions, and in our nation.  As your senator, I have kept record of my proposed legislation, amendments, votes, and floor speeches in the 23rd and 24th sessions.  I never shy away from where I stand, and I will always put the people of Frémont first.

Polls are now open, so go out and make your voice heard!  Best of luck to my two opponents.  At the conclusion of this election, I look forward to working with the Parliament on reforming our police practices.  With the events currently happening in real life Portland, it is more important than ever that we elect leaders who are conscious to the needs of peaceful protestors as well as the public safety.

Who says Frémont elections aren't interesting?!

DDNN has called the race and it appears we are victorious.  Thank you to all my supporters and volunteers.  Thank you to those who PM-banked and campaigned on my behalf.  I would also like to thank my opponents, Laki and Harpercanuck, for giving the voters a real choice in this election.

In this campaign, I capitalized on the issue of police reform.  I want to use this opportunity to emphasize that, while I am not a single-issue candidate and never have been, we have a duty to respond to these pressing matters that affect ALL Frémonters, regardless of race.

At this time, we need bold leadership more than ever.  I believe that Parliament and First Minister Truman's guidance will enable us to combat the two most pressing concerns at this time: COVID, and systematic inequality.

We are also in the early stages of drafting a budget for the fiscal year.  While it is generally my policy to oppose sales taxes or VATs, it must be acknowledged that the Commonwealth is facing a steep budget deficit and that all options must be on the table.

Parliament will need to make these hard choices in the days ahead.

Thank you, Frémont.  Dave bless this great Commonwealth.

I'mma head off the stage before the Lyrica makes me say something dumb
