SAPD Corruption

Made-up laws, false tickets and illegal arrests.
After a two hour long incident involving three corrupt SAPD members (Layla Jennings, Luther Kingston and Chester Campbell), we have terminated Head of Security and SAPD detective Layla Jennings' position from the Los Santos Democratic Party. The futile attempt made by the three corrupt officers to sabotage the Party Leader's reputation will not be taken lightly. A full report including all details of the incident, attached with a recorded conversation and dashcam footage, has been e-mailed to Police Commissioner Andrew Banks. We are currently awaiting for the results of a thorough investigation. SanTV will also receive a similar e-mail from us this week and will be encouraged to terminate Luther's position within their company should they wish to continue working with us throughout our campaign and after the election period. We hope for full co-operation and that the right decisions are made by both the SAPD and SanTV for the future of a brighter state as we continue to fight against corruption. More information about this incident will be published soon.

Talks of politics and everyday life in Los Santos

13 October 2019 - Meet and Greet at Pershing Square.
After a busy morning, the party headed to Pershing Square to set up a stall to interact directly with the public in an attempt to make the party and their values more known to the citizens of Los Santos. The citizens were offered free cups of coffee from the stall which displayed various informative leaflets and posters across it, while they stopped by to discuss various topics relating to politics and general life in Los Santos, and the party also answered questions the citizens had about the party and their future plans. The event lasted approximately one hour before the party headed back to their office in Temple Drive.

  (it was originally stating the city of Los Santos, fixed to state of San Andreas)
  

Spoiler for Quote:

"We are fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every citizen of San Andreas:
rolling up our sleeves, empowering grassroots voters, and organizing to take our state back."

"We are the party of inclusion. We know that diversity is not our problem, it is our promise.
As Democrats, we respect differences of perspective and belief,
and pledge to work together to move this state forward.
We do not merely seek common ground, we strive to reach higher ground."

- Sheila Santiago, Party Leader

Preparing for the Governor Elections

It's time to run for office.
The Governor Elections have been announced! It's time to officially announce our candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. We hereby declare that Miss Sheila Santiago will be running for Governor of the state, and Mister Jairo Raminhos will be running for Lieutenant Governor. We continue to establish ourselves as a leading party and finalize our campaign plans for the election period. We continue to arrange meetings with high ranking officials of state departments and actively engage with the general public by paying regular visits to various areas around the city of Los Santos. After an overwhelming amount of support during the rise of our party, we thank the community for believing in us and considering us as worthy candidates for state government, and encourage all citizens of the state to vote for us during the election period so we can reach our ultimate goal to reform the state of San Andreas.

Notorious criminals kidnap the Governor and an FBI Special Agent

22 October 2019 - Governor held to ransom.
An old friend of the Governor had recently got out of jail after serving time away due to an escalated altercation between the two which lead to the man's arrest. Left with a bitter taste in his mouth, Leonardo of the Sforza family saw an opportunity to get even with the Governor and with hopes to receive a hefty payday in the form of a ransom by negotiating with the state's law enforcement despite being told he would not be negotiated with.

The kidnapping took place near the LSDP office in Temple where Leonardo forcefully restrained the Governor and took her captive. FBI Special Agent Whilk Collin arrived on the scene moments after as he was already on his way to meet the Governor but found himself ambushed by other criminals who Leonardo contacted through his CB Radio to meet him at the scene of the crime. The two were taken out to a farm in Red County where Leonardo began to negotiate the two persons' release with the SAPD. They asked for a ransom of $1,000,000 to be paid.

The criminals began to secure the perimeter of the farm leaving just one of the men in the farmhouse to keep watch on the Governor and Special Agent who revealed himself to the two captives as the brother of an SAPD Officer, and made them aware that he was going to do what he could to help them.

SAPD arrived at the farm at the perfect time and attempted to surround the scattered criminals outside the farmhouse. Seeing they were massively outnumbered, some of the criminals panicked and got in their vehicles to escape. Some were lucky enough to get away thanks to their criminal associates who had the courage to stand their ground and open firefight with the SAPD Officers, though some of the criminals were shot dead during the shootout and others were detained and arrested including Leonardo Sforza who now currently awaits a trial in court for committing federal crimes.

The Governor and FBI Special Agent returned to the Los Santos Police Department to debrief and issue official statements of the incident. More information will be released on this situation in the coming weeks.
