One statement per candidate per session. File it with the photo, not instead of it.
Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.
| Space | The Community Board tracks progress, never rankings — ‘pass’ is always allowed. |
| Voice | Say one community need you feel strongly about. Your words. |
| Audience | Your idea is yours — the board shows only the headline you choose. |
| Influence | The needs the room flags decide which project we take forward. |
Closing the loop: this one ends on paper — your own hand, or your words scribed by an adult. Pass is always allowed.
