Speech Text
**Setting: A community center in South Seattle, near the Boeing plant. The crowd is a powerful mix of tech workers, union members, climate activists, and Asian American and Pacific Islander families. The energy is forward-looking and ready to lead on innovation.)**
"Thank you, Seattle! Thank you, Washington!
Washington has 12 electoral votes. And those votes will not be won by playing it safe. They will be won by showing up, speaking truth, and fighting for the future.
**Let me start with innovation.**
Seattle is the home of Amazon, Microsoft, and a thousand startups. You are the innovators. You are the dreamers. You are building the future. But the other side wants to use technology to divide us. Algorithms that spread hate. Platforms that amplify extremism. Surveillance that targets our communities. I fought for net neutrality. I fought for privacy rights. I fought to break up monopolies that crush competition. But the other side wants to undo it all.
**Second: Workers.**
The Boeing machinists. The longshoremen. The electricians. The construction workers. You built this state. You make it run. I signed the PRO Act. I protected collective bargaining. I raised the minimum wage. But the other side wants to undo it all.
**Third: Climate.**
Washington knows the cost of climate inaction. The wildfires that turn our skies orange. The heat domes that kill our seniors. The rising seas that threaten our coasts. The salmon runs that are disappearing. I declared a climate emergency. I invested in clean energy jobs. I protected public lands. But the other side wants to undo it all.
**To the tech workers:** You have the power to shape the future. Use it wisely. Use it for good. I will fight for a tech economy that works for everyone.
**To the union members:** You built this state. You make it run. I will fight for you.
**To the climate activists:** You were right. I will fight alongside you.
**To everyone in this room:** Vote like Washington depends on it — because it does. Vote like your job depends on it — because it does. Vote like your future depends on it — because it does.
I'm Paletuatoa Peniamina. I believe in you. I will fight for you. And together, we will finish what we started.
Thank you, Seattle. Now let's go save America."
