Suppose that you are planning to run for a local government office in your community. Write the introduction to a speech you could give to voters using at least five sentences. Tell them one need that you think local government should help its citizens meet in your community. Suggest a way that local government could meet this need.
Hello, my fellow community members, I am honored to stand before you today as a candidate for local government office. As a longtime resident of this community, I have seen firsthand the challenges and struggles that many of us face on a daily basis. One key need that I believe our local government should address is affordable housing. Too many families in our community are being priced out of the housing market, leading to instability and insecurity.
In order to meet this need, I propose that our local government work to increase the availability of affordable housing options through partnerships with developers and nonprofits. By incentivizing the construction of more affordable housing units and providing subsidies for low-income families, we can ensure that everyone in our community has access to safe and affordable housing. It is our collective responsibility to take care of each other and ensure that no one is left behind. Together, we can create a community where every person has a place to call home. Thank you for your support.
