    The core contents of Wang Lei's policy agenda are two items, "rebuilding communities" and "economic revitalization."

    Yes, Wang Lei also proposed an "economic revitalization" plan. Economy is the foundation. If Braddock's economy is allowed to continue to decline, the population of the town will become smaller and smaller, and eventually it will become a "village". Let's talk about it later  Nothing makes sense.

    There are many small towns like this in the United States. Some towns continue to decline, and finally there are only a few families, or even one or two families left, and their family meetings are town councils.

    However, unlike the "new neighborhood" plan proposed by Hawke, Wang Lei proposed "to inherit Braddock's long history and fine traditions, and to rely on these traditions to seek new development opportunities." He opposed the closure of the old buildings.  of public facilities and tearing down historic buildings.

    ¡°That¡¯s Braddock¡¯s memory and tradition, we can¡¯t lose them.¡± Wang Lei waved his arm and ended the entire speech.

    In the final stage of his speech, he regained his confidence and became more and more confident. Everyone began to applaud, but it was not as enthusiastic as before. They had little interest in this topic.

    Limited by time and occasion, Wang Lei did not launch a long speech. A speech requires power. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech was only two minutes long, but it was enough to become a classic.

    "Haha, Rex, what you said is great. We will support you. Hurry up and set up mutual aid societies and clubs. I can't wait!" Eric, the big-mouthed old man, was the first to step forward to express his support. He waved  He raised his fist and punched Wang Lei hard twice.

    Wang Lei endured the pain with a smile on his face: "Thank you, I need everyone's support, spiritually, actionally, andfinancially. As we all know, campaigning is very expensive."

    Wang Lei said frankly that there is no problem with this. Everyone is accustomed to using tickets and tickets to support their favorite candidates. When Clinton was running for re-election, Wang Lei received a fundraiser from his Pittsburgh campaign headquarters.  I paid for the phone, then took out my pocket money and donated five dollars.

    "Haha, no problem. This is ten dollars. Please keep it and keep working hard!" Eric took out a U.S. dollar bill, and Wang Lei quickly asked Colin to take it and write it down in the account.

    Eric is in his sixties and has retired from his job. He lives on a government pension. Today he spent ten dollars to buy tickets and donated another ten dollars. A total of twenty dollars was spent, which is almost his usual amount.  The cost for a week is not that small.

    Others also donated money, ranging from ten yuan, twenty yuan to fifty yuan. The parents of Brady and Wang Yang each donated a hundred dollars. When the last guest made a donation, Colin immediately donated money.  Wang Lei told him in his ear: The total is five hundred and thirty US dollars.

    This little money was not enough for Hawke to send out flyers on the first day.

    "It's not as good as expected, but it's enough for us to do something!" After seeing off more than a dozen guests, Wang Lei returned to the garden. His friends were still there, waiting for him to blow out the candles and share the cake.

    "Yeah, no matter what, we all have a fund." Emily struck a match and lit the candles on the cake: "Ray, make a wish quickly, and then blow out the candles, we are all waiting to eat the cake.  !¡±

    Everyone knows that the money is not much, especially compared to Hawke, which makes people desperate, and they don't want to continue this depressing topic.

    "Haha, okay!" Wang Lei glanced at Emily opposite. In the flickering candlelight, the girl's youthful face looked very delicate. He felt that the beating in his heart suddenly accelerated, and a strange feeling kept lingering on his body.  The ground surges.

    I am eighteen years old! Wang Lei felt that he had really grown up. He took a deep breath, then turned his head and looked at other people, his parents, sister, and best friend. They  They all clapped their hands gently and sang "Happy Birthday".

    This is not the birthday party of previous years, it is the most special one. No matter what, everyone is supporting him.

    Wang Lei closed his eyes and made a wish silently. After a while, he opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and blew out the candles on the cake. His friends also joined in, and everyone blew out all the eighteen candles in one breath.  Blow out.

    ¡°Bah bang bang!¡± Everyone clapped vigorously and congratulated Wang Lei on his happy birthday.  Wang Lei started to cut the cake, and then Luka slapped cream on his face. He rushed forward and knocked the tall Luka to the ground, giving him a painful lesson.

    After the simple birthday ceremony, everyone was noisy for a while, and Wang Lei called everyone together again to discuss the election in his bedroom.

    "Oh, Rex, you are an adult. Do you want to arrange some special programs tonight?" Luka's body was covered with grass clippings, but he couldn't help but joke with Wang Lei.

    ?This time, Wang Lei did not get angry. He smiled and made a contemptuous gesture towards Luka: "Of course, I need to prove my strength as an adult, so later, Luka, you will stay alone."

    "No, no, no! My mother is still waiting at home, I think I should go back right away!" Luka's face turned darker with fright, and he quickly waved his hands and said.

    Everyone laughed and made fun of Luka.

    Wang Lei waited for a while, then clapped his hands and asked everyone to look over: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's make a long story short. We raised five hundred and thirty US dollars tonight. There is no way to compare this amount of money with the big devil. Of course, we also  There is no need to compare with him, elections have never been about who has more money, but about who can win everyone¡¯s support, so there is nothing to worry about.¡±

    "Hoke's actions are crazy, and we have to hurry up. With this money, some of the things we originally planned can be officially started. Guys, come on, let us work together to kill the big devil who is crazy about spending money.  , I believe that will be an unforgettable experience in our lives." Wang Lei said loudly. Although the influence of the speaker's halo has ended, facing familiar partners, Wang Lei showed his best performance and let  The guys, who were a little frustrated because their fundraising wasn¡¯t as good as expected, got back in high spirits.

    In addition to today¡¯s guests, Colin and the others originally had to spend their own pocket money, especially Wang Hua and Emily, who spent all their pocket money that they had saved for many years.  But Wang Lei didn't want them all. He only charged each person five dollars.

    "Your help in action is my greatest support!" Wang Lei said.

    ¡°With the addition of the US$400 given by Hu Shuying and Wang Jiaming, the funds held by his campaign committee are almost close to US$1,000. This amount of money is incomparable to that of Hawke, but it can still do some things.

    Wang Lei always wanted to find a chance to say thank you to Emily alone, but he didn't have the chance until everyone left - Brady and Donna actually waited outside, seeming to be really worried that as an adult, Wang Lei would do something  something.

    At night, Wang Lei was lying on the bed alone, with Emily's beautiful face in front of him. Her every smile was so beautiful that it made people's hearts beat.

    It¡¯s really annoying. Is this the price of adulthood?  Wang Lei discovered sadly that he actually had insomnia.  Simply open the presidential book and check out today's harvest.

    Wow, there are so many good things!
