Adar Campaign Gets a Pre-Debate Boost From Long Time Advisor Laura Roslin
Presidential Hopeful, Mayor Richard Adar is in for the political fight of his life at Friday's upcoming debate. Senator Martin Wilson has taken Mayor Adar to task during this election season attacking him on every issue. The latest attack from the right wing Senator focuses primarily on the Mayor's failed education initiative.
Laura Roslin long time educator and senior advisor for the Adar campaign said today that Senator Wilson's concerns about Mayor Adar's education plan for Caprica are unfounded. She responded to the opposing campaign's claims by saying that, "Mayor Adar's plan for Caprican education is designed to increase literacy and allow those students taking commencement level courses the opportunity to experience many different higher education and job experiences before having to make a decision about further education after high school."
Upon further review of the Adar Education Proposal it is clear that the Mayor is spending money to foster early intervention programs as well as programs to help those that require more specialized education. Laura Roslin is undoubtedly pulling the strings on this issue in the Adar Camp. She is a successful educator and administrator who is fully aware of the needs of those in the education field. She is acutely aware of the needs of children in and out of the classroom.
She has worked with the Mayor on both of his mayoral campaigns and after taking a brief sabbatical for family reasons is back and fighting for the rights of children everywhere.
The Wilson Campaign is attacking on every issue but it is clear to this reporter that with the return of Laura Roslin to the political arena that Richard Adar is now a force to be reckoned with. The debate coming this Friday will tell the story. The main issues are clear. They will be talking about healthcare, child welfare, Education, Security and Woman's rights. With Dr. Laura Roslin back in Adar's corner expect the Mayor to be looking for the Senator's answers and views on Woman's rights and Education. These issues may not be on the list of the most important for voters but these are the issues that the campaign feels will set them apart from the rest and propel them to victory. "Everyone is looking for answers on healthcare and security but they are also looking at the big picture. The big picture in Presidential elections is the entire package. Education, civil rights, and the overall welfare of our citizens of the twelve colonies is what is important. We have to be strong and consistent on all the issues in order to make a dent in the polls." Laura Roslin said and she is confident that after Fridays debate Mayor Adar will close the ten-point gap between him and the Senator.
