Campaign themes
Galganski issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | "I am associated with a political philosophy called Dignitarianism, which seeks to raise the municipal Status of conscionable choice.
Inaugurating a new Party also called Free Dominion, I decided to enter the political arena so as to free the public from pre-conceptions that are often used to violate individual agency (ex. mandatory insurance etc). Although electoral governance customarily has a multitude of critical responsibilities, I otherwise believe that the purpose of political endeavor is to cultivate benevolence and inspire enlightenment as exemplary values within a civil society.
