Ian John Locke IV
So just an update for those of you in Trenton who actually care about this mayoral race.
It seems like it will become a heated one.
So before I continue, let me amend my previous list of candidates for mayor of Trenton:
Heywood8614 (The Illuminati)
Meck2212 (Libertarian Party)
Aubra Elvie (incumbent) (United Constitutionalist Party)
chimichonga barbosa (United States Workers Party)*
and myself (America's Advancement Party)
So as I said before, Heywood was chosen by his party and didn't realize until I discussed it with him. He'll make a spirited try but doesn't expect much. If I weren't running myself and if I knew his platform I'd vote for him.
Meck2212 seems to have unrealistic expectations of office. He either thinks that office will pay him greatly, or he has much more money than some of us normal people could imagine. He plans to finance wellness, housing and a hospital with his own money, to some extent. He claims to be able to lower the cost of living. Well the cost of living consists of basically two things on this game:
Food and Housing.
Food is something everyone has to buy on their own and no one can change the prices, unless you're the company yourself. Now he might want to start his own food company and produce Q3 food (a facetious example, not in his platform) but he needs workers. Q3 has a certain pay expectation and without profits he can't pay himself and his workers and he cannot hold a separate job.
People save up for a house so that they can buy one, no one expects to be given one by the government. Also, the government cannot regulate housing costs. That would be anti-capitalist and more pro-socialist.
The best any government can do, which is already being done by President Immunogenic, and which (once I can evaluate Trenton's funds) could be possibly done by me as mayor would be gifts.
Aubra has not released a platform yet and so noone can analyze that.
Finally our newest competitor, chimichonga barbosa, who's been playing only a couple weeks less than I have, seems to think that once he announces his candidacy he will be able to boast a top newspaper having received subscribers (14 as of this moment, to be exact) before he even published a single article. Clearly 13 are people from the United States Workers Party and he felt that my previous article showing my ranking in the city of Trenton to be something of a standard.
Unfortunately, I know my subscribers are mostly Trentonians and some players from AAP who I know find my campaign and articles interesting. If anyone from Trenton not in the USWP subscribed to chimichonga's paper, I'd be interested to know why.
If you want my platform, you can read them in the older articles.
Just keeping you all informed and giving you food for thought.

Vote Chimichonga Barbosa Mayor of Trenton! He\'s shown great resolves in the USWP, and has good experience from it.
I am a little discouraged by someone who says \"if I knew his platform I\'d vote for him\". How can you say that you would vote for someone if you don\'t know what their platform is?
Let me clarify that statement, I know his character to be of sound quality and we agree on many issues so I would assume his platform to be agreeable to my opinions and that is how I can say that.
Meck2212 proposes a policy destined for corruption, something Reformed Libertarians strive to avoid.
John Locke is an honest and attent player who is focused on the game\'s real priorities.
As a congressman from neighboring NY, I support John Locke.
Checkers I sincerely appreciate your show of support.
It means more to me than some of the other unexpected endorsements I\'ve received.
Thank you and thanks to all who\'ve endorsed me.
Jordan, I appreciate your endorsement. Looks like this race for mayor will be a hard fought one. Lets keep it above the belt fellas and may the best candidate win. Good luck to you Ian.
Chimichonga Barbosa
Agreed. Above the belt, as it has been so far.
Vote for Ian!!!
