Our democracy is in peril,
and we are in the midst
of a mental health emergency.
Therefore, in times of crisis,
sacrifice is needed,
which is why I'm offering my services
as Mayor of Seattle.
I'm a strong leader who can communicate
important ideas and take a completely
different approach to these 21st-century issues.
I have the right temperament
for the complexity of the job.
I'm a minister, military war veteran,
and founder of the nonprofit public charity
called Balance Due.
My personality is empathetic, compassionate,
stern, and unrelenting.
I can inform, connect, and inspire
the community in an amazing way.
My belief -- if we have a laser-sharp focus
on our mutual obstacles, together
we can overcome and have a more robust return
to our common bond of normalcy.
My vision for Seattle -- economic harmony.
We want to streamline economic recovery,
balance the budget,
create a more sustainable future,
and more racial equity.
My belief -- with hope and optimism,
we can create a new vitality, one that translates
into a better quality of life
for all of Seattle.
I envision the Emerald City shining again,
illuminating even stronger and louder.
I see an enhanced beauty,
with the people of Seattle
reveling in the newfound prosperity
and vibrance of the city.
So, in conclusion, I implore the people of Seattle
to help me help you --
by voting for democracy,
by voting for change,
by voting for a new energy,
by voting for me, Rodney Holt,
your next Mayor of Seattle.
