` Unfortunately, in the past Americans have been subjected to elections that have been marked by inappropriate and possibly illegal external influences, both foreign and domestic. Regardless of whether or not I am elected, I vow to always seek honest and ethical elections that are conducted lawfully, peacefully, and without partisan bias. Furthermore, when the results of my election(s) are over and certified I will abide by the will of the people and will not make specious claims of “stolen” elections or similar.
