I'm going to keep it short:
After a long period of reflection, I have decided to declare my candidacy for the praetorship.
Many of you have seen my performance as Treasury Quaestor this year. I have tried to work fast, reliably and professionally, and I dare say my conduct of office met the high standards I set up for myself. People have commended me as "fast", as "a hard worker" and as "a very capable and responsive Quaestor". It was a pleasure for me to serve Nova Roma as a Quaestor. I want to continue my service: As a Praetor.
I promise you that I will show the same dedication that I have shown in the last year.
Thank you for listening, and please consider voting for me as Praetor.
