Gov. Ralph DLG Torres wishes that all of his fellow GOP candidates will win this November.<\/p>\n

Torres, who is vying for the gubernatorial position for this election, said during yesterday\u2019s GOP rally party in Susupe that he believes he is blessed to be a member of the GOP.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very blessed to be part of such a good family, good friends, and good constituents,\u201d said Torres in a brief interview yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very blessed with everything,\u201d he said, adding his expression of gratitude to the organizers of yesterday\u2019s party, who reportedly finished preparations early morning yesterday at 2am just to wake up again at 5am for last-minute preparations.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026That\u2019s real action and real progress. We move forward, and I ask everyone to give their support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Torres\u2019 running mate for lieutenant governor, Senate President Arnold I. Palacios (R-Saipan), said yesterday was a \u201cnice day to have a rally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very overwhelmed and humbled by all the people that\u2026put their Sundays away and came out and [supported us],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Rep. Angel A. Demapan (R-Saipan), who is running for the delegate position, said the support of the people yesterday was a \u201ccelebration of progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people are turning out because the people recognize the progress. This is the work that we undertook in the previous election, and today is the celebration of the results that we have delivered and the commitment of our party to continue delivering for the people,\u201d he said, before going back to the roadside waving.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s rally started with an 8:30am motorcade going to Susupe Beach Park, across Marianas High School. At 9am, a roadside waving was held before starting the GOP party rally at around 11am at the Minatchom Atdao Pavilion area.<\/p>\n
