All this person needs to do is show those students she does not use candies, badges, stickets to bribe people for a vote and stands on honesty and integrity and is straight up what she can and cannot produce and goes after in the nicest way her opponents and shows to voters that what they promised cannot be done. It is the tell them no lies approach and promise nothing more than you can do approach and show them how other plans fail.
As far as editing a speech goes being a journalist I typically get paid for it. If you post something here provided it is not pages and pages long I will look at it. Polish it though the best you know how. Look it over at least 10 times and take lines out before putting it here.
If I am to help you with it I will be savage and cut 100% of what should not be in there. Keep it simple and do not overwrite what should be no more than a page long. If you thought your teachers would be rough with editing wait til you see what a pro will do to make this thing better and flow.
Worry about your lead sentence being eye-opening and everything typing up to it and your theme. If it is not doing that re-write it. Like I said, edit and re-write it 8-10 times before shoing anyone and remove the fat and words that do not need to be there. Do not give us cliches or 10 words when one word cuts it. Good luck!

But anyway, everyone knows that student government is just a popularity contest. Try putting something about how you'll stop the popularity contests from overruling every 'democratic' voting system in the school? Hope I helped! [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]
