Yes, that is one example. But wouldn't you agree that it is relatively rare for a presidential candidate to make a specific policy promise to a specific region of the country that mostly only affects that region of the country?

Usually, when presidential candidates campaign in a region, they emphasize parts of their platform that would gain support by people in that region, but they don't often promise to specifically do something for that region that has little impact outside of that region.
