“I did learn from many mistakes. First and foremost, I learned that it is important to create a wide base of support within the LDP.

Also, as a result of the lessons I learned, this time my policy priorities have become very clear. This would include first and foremost restoring a robust economy. I believe this has resulted in the strong support that I am getting from the people.”
