I proudly and honorably announce my candidacy for the CNMI's first U.S. non-voting delegate seat. Being a public servant remains my greatest passion, and even during my campaign, I will continue to serve our people as their Senator. I want the people of the Marianas to know that I am committed to building the Marianas together.

If given the non-voting delegate seat, I vow never to sit down until our people have more jobs, never to sit down until our relationship with the Federal government is strengthened, never to sit down until our islands gain more funding to subsidize the high costs of living, never to sit down until our people have more affordable utilities, never to sit down until our people have affordable healthcare, and never to sit down until our people are eventually able to have a vote in U.S. Congress. My only promise is to stand up and to speak up for our people.

Together, we will forge an alliance built on mutual respect, openness, and cooperation with our American brethren. I believe that this seat is a stepping stone for change, one in which our dear Commonwealth can gain true membership into the American family. United, we can do anything!

With your full support, we can build the Marianas together--one heart, one voice, one Commonwealth! Thank you, Si Yu'us Ma' ase, and Olomwaay!

Biba Marianas!
