Chapter 874 (1/2)
William was very grateful. After receiving a phone call from Sonya himself, he immediately started to encourage the ”sheep” in the constituency not to sign Alice Palmer, but also took aunt Susie to publicly endorse Michelle's husband platform.
In fact, William and Alice Palmer have had contacts with Alice Palmer. Of course, Alice Palmer, a senior politician, has had many years' friendship with his predecessor, Reverend Alison, while Michelle's husband, as a novice politician, has no such burden. From this perspective, it is not surprising that William chose to stand by her husband.
At the same time, as a black female politician, Alice Palmer's loyal supporters are mostly black aunts. The likes and dislikes of these people are greatly influenced by the church. She seems to be an active believer. William's ”abandonment” gives Alice Palmer a heavy blow, no matter in the progress of signing, campaign momentum, and even her personal confidence. Coupled with Michelle's husband's extraordinary appeal to female voters, her base and fundraising have been severely eroded.
However, it is not enough. She is still short of a few hundred co signers. At this time, it is not easy to give up. The United States does not do a good job in the voter qualification examination. There is a lot of room for operation.
Two days later, Alice Palmer announced that there were only 200 signatures left, and she would be eligible for the primary tomorrow. She also prepared a party to celebrate.
What Songya didn't know was that the campaign team behind Michelle and Mrs. Michelle had been waiting for this moment. That night, the Illinois State Election Commission authorized law enforcement officers to raid Alice Palmer's campaign headquarters because there was evidence that she had committed fraud in the process of collecting signatures.
The next day, Alice Palmer's celebration turned into a withdrawal conference. The former state senator choked and announced that she would no longer run in the primary on the pretext that the voter co signer had failed to meet expectations.
The Illinois Election Commission then complied with the tacit political agreement and did not bother her any more.
”You don't have to carry the moral burden, but the political skills are very smooth. To some extent, the couple began to operate with illness...”
Song ya, who got the news, laughed at Sloan.
”You've been successful in putting pressure on Alice Palmer's limits, haven't you? Alicia Sloan sipped the wine with his big red lips, leaving a shallow lipprint on the glass.
”We? I'm not involved in Peter's business... ”
Alicia is not really interested in politics. She just came back from New York after working on inner city broadcasting. ”What's next, aplus? My law firm can help you with your Barnes chemical case. ”
”Barnes chemical case? where? There is no such case at present. Do you want me to be accused? Alicia. ” Song Ya interrupted with a joke.
”Ha, it's almost like that in a way. I'm a lawyer.” Alicia's eyes and eyebrows were crooked.
”Let's not talk about the disappointment today. Enjoy the party, two beautiful ladies.” Song Ya hands left and right, in the two evening dress ladies in the waist courtesy caress, ”sorry, I leave for a while, thank you for coming to Alicia.”
After danburton accused herself at the hearing, she was temporarily inconvenient to communicate with politicians publicly, so Michelle didn't even mention to help her husband's platform endorsement this time. She also abided by the rules and didn't give them any trouble. In addition to Alicia, who came to Highland Park party today, she was employees of Chicago music circle and her own business.
Don't break the law. On the edge of being caught, song Ya tacitly doesn't disturb the politicians, and the politicians also secretly help all kinds of help. A gratifying trend is that politicians are more proactive in taking care of him than before. For example, Gore sent people to warn him before the hearing began. Underwood asked Doug to persuade Nancy Patricia not to embarrass herself in the middle of the hearing. The consul general suppressed Frith, the director of the FBI, and did not provide the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate with any files concerning his own stains Peter flock's influence on Chicago prosecutors, the birthplace of his family, has brought down reports from conservative white people
In the election year, before his generous money bag began to spread at the beginning of the year, song Ya felt that his relationship with the politicians was at a very ”harmonious” moment.
”It's not easy to get rid of old Barnen. The country club he often goes to is not easy to enter. It's all white and all male. There's a limit on the number of members. When someone hangs up or withdraws, the club Council will select a substitute from the applicants. It's an old school way of playing.”
He left the two girls because he saw Goodman's signal from afar. While continuing his studies, he just dealt with the internal and external problems of Chicago, the base camp. ”He himself basically doesn't care about the past of tibarn chemical, the old friends of the club.” Goodman said, closing the study door.
”Is there a trusted messenger in that club?” Song Ya asked.
”The circle is very small. The old people are basically in the retirement stage, playing golf, remembering the past and taking time to manage low-risk investment For the moment, the closest we have to our network is o'gredi's uncle, a former executive of Northern Trust. ” Goodman replied.”Sounds good? O'gredi can be trusted. ” O'gredi manages his own hundreds of millions of stock funds. ”I can easily transfer the money I put in there. He doesn't dare to be against me.”
”His family is very weak. O'gredi told me that he had not seen the uncle for at least three years.” Goodman said.
”Well...” Song Ya thought about it. ”Let o'gredi have a try first. Has anyone else come? I told him myself
