WILSON: A sick child cannot learn. A sick parent cannot work. For three years, I fought very diligently to bring a health care facility into Liberty City, a brand new, state-of-the-art facility for the residents of Liberty City.

WOMAN 1: As mayor of the village of Pinecrest, I know how important it is that we have you in Congress to bring economic development and jobs to our community.

WOMAN 2: That's why I’m supporting you so much because I know you are capable of providing jobs.

MAN 1: Not just jobs, but good jobs.

MAN 2: You’ve been a torchbearer for working families all your political life.

WOMAN 3: With your track record in Congress, we know you can bring jobs to the community. We're here to support you.

MAN 3: And that’s exactly what we need: leadership such as yourself.

WILSON: The new clinic will create jobs. Not only jobs in construction to build the clinic, but to operate the clinic. It will spur economic growth surrounding the clinic. When I go to Congress, I will fight for you even harder to bring economic stability to district 17.
