Suppose that you are planning to run for a local government office in your community. Write the introduction to a speech you could give to voters using at least five sentences. Tell them one need that you think local government should help its citizens meet in your community. Suggest a way that local government could meet this need.

Hello, neighbors and fellow community members. My name is [Your Name] and I am excited to announce my candidacy for local government office in our community. I truly believe in the power of local government to make a positive impact on the lives of its citizens.

One pressing need that I believe our local government should address is the lack of affordable housing in our community. So many families are struggling to find safe and affordable housing, and it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone has a place to call home. One way that local government could meet this need is by investing in the development of more affordable housing units, providing subsidies for low-income families, and working with developers to create more affordable options.

I believe that by coming together as a community and working towards this goal, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Let's work towards a community where everyone has a place to call home. Thank you for your support.
