The man went back and forth between the district three candidates. Spark had tenure, same as Hope and Izar, it was something that caught his eye, something reliable. If anything else, at least there was a precedent; however, that leaves the ego in question. District Three would break his platform if it didn't land correctly, and he needed a candidate both promising and persuasive.

So he filed to the next index to Diamond Nixton.

Valentino needed equipment, and a bargain large enough to build a legacy on top. Between Krigel, Le Roux and Strauss, Valentino had enough man power to build a goddamn trojan horse with, but he needed security. Quite literally, he needed equipment and technology and it was either Three or bust in that regard. Spark may not agree financially with what he was asking, but Nixton.

She may not be in a position to say no. The dial tone beeps familiar in his ear, the old number pad on the phone growing increasingly comforting as he makes each phone call. "Hello, Ms. Nixton? This is Valentino Salazar," he begins, partially wondering if catching candidates off guard is a viable tactic.

How intimidating it must be to hear his bargains at the end of the night. "I'm reaching out on behalf of District Seven mostly, as the upcoming mayor I'm hoping to get a head start on securing my platform's ambition. Before talking too much on that, I must ask," he's talking too much again. Bulldozing the phone calls, getting straight to the meat of the conversation.

Picky eater syndrome, truly.

"How is the election going on your end?"

The constant crusade of campaigning is far from localized to the swarming streets of District Three. Almost as often as she has heard headlines about her own race, Diamond has heard of running odds and numbers about the elections in other Districts. The surprising showing of the opponents against the incumbents in Six, Eight, and Eleven has been enough to draw both District and Capitol commentary alike. However, Diamond has never actually considered speaking to one of the others on their own campaign trail. The idea made her feel overly-confident, especially since she is in her own too close-to-call race here in her home District without dipping her toes into other's. Yet, when the phone rings from Valentino Salazar of Seven, she certainly doesn't let it go unanswered.

"Hello Mr. Salazar, how can I help you today?"

Diamond asks, her voice sewn with curiosity. The man from Seven doesn't shy away from his desire to discuss policy, which only makes Diamond wonder whether the same call with Catherine has already been made or is in the queue. Either way, she has to admit the ideas he is implying do sound captivating. With the assistance/skill of Seven, several aspects of Diamond's platform can certainly be strengthened. Perhaps the District will see it as a woman with initiative for change. She takes a moment to think before responding.

"I can understand that, I could use some strengthening of my platform's points as well. Maybe we can help each other out in that aspect."

Diamond walks over to a nearby window and looks out over the factory yard as she turns mind towards the polls.

"It has been going well. I'm not one to advertise false hope, but our numbers are strong. I assume your's is going quite well?"
