One has to wonder about this, after the Senator made this announcement just a few weeks ago:
*Senator Kevin Nation in an announcement on the steps of the Capitol in Nym, DC:*
Ladies and gentleman of the press, fellow senators, and most importantly, the voters of District 1 -- I speak to you today to inform you that I will not be seeking re-election to the First District of Atlasia, and will serve out my remaining term as best as possible.
This decision is a personal one, and for personal reasons only. As of late, I no longer feel I will be able to provide adequate representation of this district's fine voters.
I believe I have let go of one of the main reasons I ran for the senate as a candidate of the United Atlas Centrists -- less government. Instead, I have sat idly by while I failed to do anything about the rapid INCREASE of government.
I have returned from actively pursuing a chance at the UAC nomination for the Presidency to being undecided -- I may or may not seek a run in the executive branch of the Atlasia government. Future announcements regarding this matter are imminent, don't you worry.
Finally, let me just say thank you to all those who voted for me --- first, second, or last prefrence. From the shores of Lake Erie in my home of Buffalo, to the streets of Maryland where I grew up.
