Statement:It looks like you're comitted to it, you have my vote.
You got my vote!
Jeez hell yea you do.
You got my vote Earl, and good luck man.
Thank you for your vote of confidence. I will not let the people of Los Santos down.
You got my vote for 2,500 bucks, deal? 
As mayor I will uphold and defend the Constitution.
Act XXIII: Anyone taking part in an act of corruption is guilty.
Can you clarify a bit more how you can help repair the economic problems of the poor?
and what about the rich in the city, would you provide them tax exemptions only to increase their wealth?
I received a letter from a family living in Verona Beach. They were your typical Los Santos family only a couple years ago living in Willowfield below the poverty line. Because of the introduction of trucking, the family was able to work hard and pick themselves up, sacrifice and strive for success. The family wrote "it is amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to." Los Santos, this families story is our story. You are the reason I am running for mayor. You are the people I was thinking of when I decided to run for mayor. It is your effort that is making this economy stronger. But there is still much to do. I will work towards decreasing taxes on food purchases so those who are struggling to make ends meet have less to worry about and can start saving up for their dream house, car or business. I will make sure the progress made so far won't be halted by the government because families like the one mentioned above still need our help.
We are at a time where jobs are growing at a fast rate. The unemployment rate is the lowest. There are endless jobs that still need filling in. No man dies because of hunger or poverty. The shadow of crisis has passed and the state of the union is strong. We have a booming economy where everyone is free to write their own story. We have an economy right now where not only a few people do spectacularly well but everyone who makes the effort. We still have much to do. We need to make sure everyone has a fair shot. Los Santos does best when everyone gets a fair shot. Everyone does their fair share. Everyone plays by the same set of rules. We don't just want everyone to share Los Santos' success but everyone to contribute to Los Santos' success. My plan can put hundreds of dollars back into everyones pocket by lowering taxation.
We need to have the best economy in all of San Andreas. A place where businesses will want to locate themselves and higher employees. Right now the majority of our roads are rated in less than good condition. Half of our bridges require significant repair or can't handle today's traffic. I will create jobs for Argonath Road Administration to fix those roads and bridges and bring businesses to the city of Los Santos. Lets get it done! We need to sell more Los Santos products in San Fierro and Las Venturas, not the other way around. If San Fierro and Las Venturas want to write the rules, we need to turn that around. We should be the ones writing the rules.
Now I've been seeing a lot of "street taxation" from certain local street and biker gangs demanding money from our companies and consumers. I will work with law enforcement to better protect our companies and consumers against these street and biker gangs. This will be a great challenge. But no challenge poses a greater threat to our economy than these street and biker gangs and Los Santos I promise to work towards making sure each and everyone of you and your money is safe. Some like to argue that a lot of African American's join gangs because of unfair treatment from law enforcement. But Los Santos, that is simply not true. We are not a white and black state but a United States of Argonath and I will work towards creating a better relationship between law enforcement and the black community. Los Santos is a melting pot of races and customs that need to work together and embrace each others values. These are real issues. And I will have to lift them up and not deny them or try to tamp them down. What we need to do is understand them and figure out how do we make more progress. And that can be done. That's a better politics. That's how we build trust. That's how we move forward. That's what the people of Los Santos want. And that's what they deserve.
Let me tell everyone a story about my upbringing. I myself was born into a lower middle class family. My father Eko Montgomery worked at a Sprunk factory. He was the son of Nicholas Montgomery, mayor of a small town named Crippen in northern Red County which you now know as Montgomery; named after his father, Lee Montgomery who was also mayor of Crippen. My mother Ann Dunham was a nurse at Crippen Memorial Hospital. As you can probably tell, our family did not make much. But we pulled through. My parents, God rest their souls, saved up enough money for me to attend college and make a career for myself. My grandfather and great grandfather always believed that citizens come first. He believed that putting money back in people pockets worked best. I will implement my grandfathers economic strategy for the town of Montgomery on Los Santos. Providing lower taxes for everyone so that everyone has an opportunity to strive towards their goals.
My only agenda is that I want to do what what I believe is best for Los Santos. If you share my broad vision I ask you to join me with the work at hand. If you disagree with parts of it, I hope you'll at least work with me where you do agree. And I commit to everyone that I will not only seek out your ideas but I will seek to work with you to make this city stronger. I want this city to reflect the truth. For all our blind spots and shortcomings, we are a people with the strength and generosity of spirit to bridge divides, to unite in common effort, and help our neighbors, whether down the street or across the city. I want our actions to tell every child (new player), in every neighborhood: your life matters, and we are as committed to improving your life chances as we are for our own kids.
I want future generations to know that we are a people who see our differences as a great gift, that we are a people who value the dignity and worth of every citizen -- man and woman, young and old, black and white, Latino and Asian, gay and straight, people with mental illness or physical disability. I want them to grow up in a city that shows the world what we still know to be true: that we are still more than a collection of blacks, Latinos, and whites; that we are the United States of Argonath.
I want them to grow up in a city where a young family like the one I mentioned above can sit down and write a letter to me with a story that warms up our hearts:
"It is amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to...we are a strong, tight-knit family who has made it through some very, very hard times."
Los Santos, we too are a strong, tight-knit family. We, too, have made it through some hard times. Years into this new era of RS5, we have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off, and begun again the work of remaking Los Santos. We've laid a new foundation. A brighter future is ours to write. Let's begin this new chapter -- together -- and let's start the work right now.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless this city we love.
Signed,
Earl Montgomery
