# AnswerMeNow1 speaks with veterans in Columbus

*Today, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Chesapeake spoke with some veterans in the city of Columbus.*

"Hello, everyone.

My name's AnswerMeNow1, and I'm running to be your candidate for Governor."

*The veterans are annoyed, mainly due to the candidate's absence over the rest of the campaign, with one shouting "That's the first I've heard of you!" AnswerMeNow1 simply smiles.*

"I have not been the most prominent gubernatorial candidate over the past few days. OK, to be completely frank, I haven't done anything. But that doesn't mean that I can't still fight for you, and continue the great work Democrats have done in the state. Democrats helped restore voting rights, make community college more affordable, and if we elect a Republican governor, he might obstruct all we want to do."

*The veterans begin to come less annoyed, and listen to what the gubernatorial candidate has to say.*

"I know I haven't been on the campaign trail. But if you elect me, I'll fight for the preservation of voting rights and civil rights in Chesapeake. If you elect me, I'll fight for the right of every citizen in Chesapeake to have a roof over their heads and a place to sleep at night that's not the street!"

"You all fought for America, you put your lives at risk to fight for this country, and the overrepresentation of veterans in poverty and homelessness statistics is shameful. If you've just fought a war, your first priority shouldn't be worrying about whether you'll be able to put a roof over your head! I will fight for you. I will fight for veterans, I will fight for the homeless, and I will fight for Chesapeake! So get out and vote, vote AnswerMeNow1 for Governor of the Great State of Chesapeake!"
