Quote from Perd Hapley in The Debate

Joan Callamezzo: This last question before the break is for Mr. Newport. Uh, some - not me - have criticized your involvement with your father's candy company Sweetums. Would your affiliation with big business affect your decisions as a city councilor?
Bobby Newport: I want to run this town like a business. My opponent, Leslie Knope, has a very anti-business agenda. Recently, my dad told me that if Leslie Knope wins the election, they'll probably have to move Sweetums to Mexico. [audience murmuring] That would be terrible, of course. Thousands of people in this town would lose their jobs, and we all wouldn't have candy. Now, I'm not saying that is gonna happen, but I do know this. If I win... I bet I could get them to stay. [applause]
Perd Hapley: Wow. Shocking stuff. We're gonna be back with our closing statements right after a word from our sponsor, Sweetums, Pawnee's biggest supplier of candy and jobs. [applause] Stick around.
