-And as I stated before, I care about the people. All of them. Vampire, Were or other. We are all equal and one aren't we?- He looked at his vampire opponent who was running for the same office as he was, Governor. He'd been Mayor of Bon Temps for years now, elected and re-elected. He'd held a place in the State Legislature for a while, now he was ready to take on Governor. His opponent was one he knew very well, she spoke with ease and knowledge. After all, her father was one of Louisiana's past Governors until he went crazy and got himself killed. Governor Burrell left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth, human or non. She was still ahead of him by 5% in the polls and even though they were friends behind the scenes, he had plans for the supernatural community if elected.
"And Mr. Merlotte, what is it that you plan to do to subsidize the run down areas of your state? Even those effected by hurricanes and vampires who were infected for so many years."
He thought about the reporters question and then looked at Nicole in the audience, giving her a smile. Their daughter, now thirteen and getting a hold of her shifter powers, smiled proudly as Sam began to speak. -I plan to re-evaluate all parish funds and get more grants to our residents. There could be more developments and definitely more jobs brought about because of that.-
He listened as Willa gave her answer, smiling proudly at her. If he were to run against anyone, he was glad it was against someone who had similar views to his. Either way, they would work together in the end.
"That concludes tonight's political debate, I wish both candidates the best of luck. The results of tomorrows election will be aired here live. Thanks for watching KTCD News. I'm Vanessa and I'll be signing off for the night. Good Night Shreveport."
He smiled and applauded then moved to the stairs, taking Nicole's hand and kissing her softly. -How was that?- He put an arm around their daughter Clara's shoulders and kissed her temple.
