I have asked to be a speaker, not ask a candidate but
as the person who orchestrated last years campaigns. I
worked with Calvin on this plan and brought it to the
party.

I did not ask to speak to talk about my cmapign but
rather speak on where the party goes from here. Calvin
and I put together a plan for where the party should
be in 4 years.
