For more than 42 months, his administration has committed itself to the wellbeing of the common man. He has steer the ship of the state with human face. Everything about him is about the common man on the street. And you would see most of his politics are not elitist but pro-people.
“From education to health to agriculture to housing to urban renewal to transportation, he has facelifted every sector. The people of the state, most especially the workers have not had it this hood.

He has done well and I know we need consolidation in order to put our state on solid foundation. In view of that, I am joining others to continue the campaign to get him re-elected.
