Scarlatti Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) DEMOCRATIC PARTY - LOS SANTOS CITY - 2020 "Forward Together" INTRODUCTION The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States of America, along with its main rival, the Republican Party. Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson making it the world's oldest active political party. The Democratic Party in Los Santos is currently led by Charles Galloway. The party successfully formed a team of experts in the political environment, shaped on young prospects whom already had political experience in their background. However, in the last years the party suffered of large inactivity and misery therefore lost a major part of electoral consent. That’s why Charles Galloway was appointed as the Democratic Party’s Leader for the City of Los Santos, undergoing to a full revamp of the party. OUR HISTORY Democratic Party officials often trace its origins to the inspiration of the Democratic-Republican party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and other influential opponents of the Federalists in 1792. That party also inspired the Whigs and modern Republicans. Organizationally, the modern Democratic Party truly arose in the 1830s with the election of Andrew Jackson. Since the nomination of William Jennings Bryan in 1896, the party has generally positioned itself to the left the Republican Party on economic issues. Democrats have been more liberal on civil rights since 1948, although conservative factions which opposed them persisted in the South until the 1960s. On foreign policy, both parties have changed position several times. The Democratic Party evolved from the Jeffersonian Republican or Democratic-Republican Party organized by Jefferson and Madison in opposition to the Federalist Party. The Democratic-Republican Party favored republicanism; a weak federal government; states' rights; agrarian interests (especially Southern planters); and strict adherence to the Constitution. The party opposed a national bank and Great Britain. After the War of 1812, the Federalists virtually disappeared and the only national political party left was the Democratic-Republicans, which was prone to splinter along regional lines. The era of one-party rule in the United States, known as the Era of Good Feelings lasted from 1816 until 1828 when Andrew Jackson became president. Jackson and Martin Van Buren worked with allies in each state to form up a new Democratic Party on a national basis. In the 1830s the rivals coalesced into the main rival to the Democrats. Fifteen Democrats have served as President of the United States. The first was Andrew Jackson, who was the seventh president and served from 1829 to 1837. The most recent was Barack Obama, who was the 44th and held office from 2009 to 2017. OUR VALUES The Democratic Party's philosophy of modern liberalism blends notions of civil liberty and social equality with support for a mixed economy. In Congress, the party has influential centrist, progressive and conservative wings. Corporate governance reform, environmental protection, support for organized labor, maintenance and expansion of social programs, affordable college tuition, universal health care, equal opportunity and consumer protection form the core of the party's economic agenda. On social issues, it advocates campaign finance reform, LGBT rights, criminal justice and immigration reform, stricter gun laws and the legalization of marijuana. The Democratic Party of Los Santos really believes that everyone can make the difference. Our motto "Forward Together" fully explains our values: we're not on your back trying to make business at your expense, but we strive to help the community to grow up more and more. There are no citizen of different categories, but we share all in one, we will go through victory or loss all together for the better. OUR TEAM CHARLES GALLOWAY - CHAIRMAN Charles Galloway was born on 12th June 1972 in Paleto Bay, State of San Andreas. Since his youth he showed great interests towards local politics, partaking in rallies and events to promote essential rights such as equal opportunities and free health care. At the age of 21, while being an active member of the San Andreas Democratic Party, he supported the local government as counselor for Mayor Thompson in Tucson (AZ), after moving to a new place to pursue his dream and continue his studies in Economics Science. A few years later, Galloway completed his studies and successfully obtained his master's degree on economics, using his title to be even more helpful within the local government. On 17th September 1998 he ran for district representative candidate for the south area of Tucson, winning the ballot for a bunch of votes. This event paved the way to Galloway's political career, joining the City Council of the City as a Democrats. Due to his reform proposals he immediately attracted attention from the Democratic Party National Committee. He kept being elected within the State of Arizona in higher ranks and eventually received the offer as Chairman for the Democratic Party in the City of Los Santos. OUR DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES GEORGE VALENCIA - EASTERN DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATE George Valencia was born in East Los Santos on November 8th, 1989 to immigrant parents Antonio and Catalina Valencia. His parents were Mexican immigrants who migrated to the United States sometime in the early eighties due to the increasing violence and instability that was occurring in Mexico at the time. His father, Antonio had found home in San Andreas, more specifically within the Eastside of Los Santos. There, his father found employment at a local meat packing company where he worked for several decades and made enough to support his wife and children. George and his younger brothers, Anthony Valencia, and Pablo Valencia grew up in a very impoverished neighborhood with a high concentration of Latino residents. Unfortunately, crime was prominent, and a heavy gang presence was the norm. In fact, the three brothers were known for being delinquents in their early teens, often breaking into homes and stealing vehicles for parts. Unfortunately, this was commonplace and just simply part of the culture within the neighborhood. This clearly disappointed their father who immigrated from his homeland due to the troubles going on back home. George’s father quickly realized that the deterioration of him and his brothers would continue unless he found a solution to their problems. His solution was to enforce education and the pursuit of individual growth. This was met with rebellion by the three brothers, but through support and ultimate patience, the three eventually found their way. Although life in the neighborhood was difficult, George and his siblings grew up with parents that were always there to provide support, and life was much easier because of that. Eventually, in his own pursuit of individual growth, George’s father began reading extensively in regards to personal finance, and investment knowledge. He was unsatisfied with the living conditions he and his family were in, and his hours at the meat packing company were being reduced which meant less pay. He was determined to dig himself out of this hole. He continued reading up on the subjects, now becoming intensely passionate in the subject. At this point, he was also working two jobs, but would read and learn during his breaks or whenever he had free time. Over the years, his father saved up enough money and with his newly gained knowledge, Antonio established an investment company involved in foreign currencies where he would analyse and then invest in a variety of national currencies. He named it Valencia Trading and continued to slowly, but surely expand its investments into different securities. At this point, George began learning through the mentoring of his father and his teachings of financial securities, and investments. Throughout the many lessons that he learned from his father, one particular lesson seemed to be of high importance, and that was the lesson of impact investing. A form of investing that benefited the economic and social well being of the community. His father emphasized the importance of this form of investing, because it ultimately gives back to the community which in turn provides growth and prosperity to the people within it. Later in his years, George studied at the University of Los Santos, San Andreas, where he double majored in Finance and Economics. While going to ULSA, George moved in with his brothers in La Puerta to be closer to the University, but also to enjoy the local beaches. Shortly after his graduation, George’s father, Antonio Valencia became gravely ill, and unfortunately passed away at the age of fifty two due to kidney failure. The stability of Valencia Trading was shaky due to Antonio’s illness, but it remained stable enough for the company to be passed onto his children. The Valencia brothers have now inherited their father’s company and faced the challenges of expanding the company. They first expanded the company by increasing their investment in commodities, securities, and then established a way to provide clients with proper credit loans. These expansions have allowed the company to prosper greatly. With these changes made, the Valencia brothers decided to re-establish the company into a financial institution, and renamed it Valencia Capital, Inc. With Valencia Capital in full swing, George continued with his father’s legacy by imposing one of his most important values, serving the community. George did this through impact investing, and by donating funds to people in need within the local community of East Los Santos. With this in mind, George decided to move back to East Los Santos to be closer to the community he had been a part of since his childhood, and is where he now resides. MANJOT SINGH - NORTHERN DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATE Manjot Singh is a proud U.S.A. citizen who recently moved from the City of New York to Los Santos City.

From a young age, Singh always had an interest in politics and knew that he one day wanted to represent the needs and interests of his city. He feels that his personality, which is based around listening and helpfulness, is key to understanding the wants of his district and essential when it comes to representing their needs too.

TANYA SUN - WESTERN DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATE Tanya Sun was born in Seoul, South Korea where she spent her formative years before being sent to school in Le Rosey, Switzerland. She emigrated to the United States in the final year of her secondary education, where she interned for the State-side office of the Korean mega-corporation, the Haechi Finance Group in Liberty City. During this time she took up competitive sports including track and field and Tae Kwan Do, as well as an interest in economic advocacy. She became a citizen during her tertiary education. She studied a Bachelor of Applied Finance by distance through the University of Hong Kong, before opting to pursue her passion for advocacy further as a career. Subsequently, she entered into post-graduate study with a Juris Doctorate through ULSA by distance, which she completed in 2019. She left the Haechi Group to move to San Andreas, settling into the neighborhood of Little Seoul, commonly referred to as K-Town. It was here that Tanya developed a keen interest in social and economic issues, seeing first hand an economic disparity due to the legacy of the race riots of the early nineties on the neighborhood. She took the State Bar exam, becoming a practicing attorney to help business owners get access to advice and support that she felt, ideally, ought to be provided by the city. Her specialist expertise in contractual and property law would enable her to support multiple community support initiatives. Together with locals, she supported a community initiative to provide temporary accommodation for new migrants and the homeless in lieu of a functional social housing scheme. Her interest has not been limited to Little Seoul, however, as she has worked in Chumash, Vespucci, Del Perro and Pacific Bluffs. In 2020, she began to work for the Little Seoul Business Association, assisting businesses in the local area to collectively advocate for common interests. Being twenty six years old, she already boasts an impressive pedigree and a determination to change the city for the better.
