Office of Senator Nix

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

OFFICE OF AVERROËS NIX (TPP-NY)
NORTHEAST SENATOR

Welcome. I am Averroës Nix. Thank you for stopping by.

I was elected to the Senate in October of 2012. Previously, I've served in the Northeast Assembly, first as a representative and later as its speaker. I've also served a term as Governor of the Northeast Region. If you're interested in my record, I've used this thread through each campaign and every term in office. Feel free to explore.

I maintain this office to inform my constituents of Senate activities, answer their questions, and respond to their concerns. If you want to let me know your thoughts on a recent piece of legislation, how I'm voting, whether I'm active enough, etc., this is the place to do it. (You can also send me a PM if you'd prefer to discuss anything in private.) Keep in mind that I am willing to sponsor legislation and amendments proposed by constituents.

Best,

Northeast Senator Averroës Nix

Nix for the Northeast Campaign Headquarters
453 State Street, Schenectady, NY[/center]

I'm pleased to announce that I will be campaigning to succeed Napoleon as Northeast Governor.

I'll articulate a more detailed platform over the next few weeks, but tonight I'd like to sketch out my basic goals.

1. Energizing regional politics: As the region's executive, I would view my primary responsibility as keeping regional government active. No one is better positioned than a governor to work toward revitalizing regional politics. I will do this through close cooperation with the Northeast Assembly and a detailed agenda of legislation to be passed (and an equally detailed agenda of antiquated and overcomplicated legislation to be repealed).

2. Consensus building: The Northeast is a region of liberals, libertarians, and moderates. As a pragmatic left-libertarian, I believe that I am uniquely positioned to bring these factions together to work toward common goals. While I'm not a "moderate hero" by any stretch, I am quite willing to work with ideologically diverse sets of people, and I know how to compromise gracefully.

3. Fiscal reform: In recent memory, the Northeast has lacked both a budget and sources of revenue. If elected, rectifying this worrying situation will by my first priority. While I would prefer to collect revenue through a tax on land, I am open to suggestions, especially from those who can remember a time when the Northeast Region collected revenue.

I'm excited for this campaign, and I hope that you are too. Please use this thread to ask me any questions.

[Communists For McCain]

This campaign has some good intentions.  No don't worry I'm not about to say "but" and then insert criticism here.

Anyway, this looks very promising.  Now, I'm not a citizen of the Northeast so my opinion doesn't matter, but that last point seems like it would go the greatest in actually creating reform politics.  Because frankly, over the past year or so the word "reform" has kind of just become a frakking buzz word for "vote for me".  Not to put down people (like the Northeast ) who have actually put their money where there mouth is, but it might help if there is actual money there.

I applaud everybody over the past year that helped turn the region away from the one party state that seemed to put radicalism over responsible governance.  And as of this moment this campaign at least has my spiritual endorsement.

[Pacific Councillor Big Wiggly Style]

You've got my second preference

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

You've got my second preference

And what would it take to get your first? (Also, haven't you left the region?)

[Senator Napoleon]

Endorsed, although hopefully the budget is ready sooner than that.

[Governor Scott]

Endorsed!

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Now unveiling my official campaign logo:

Display it in your signature for 'Nix Points.'

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Endorsed!

[Oakvale]

While I'm no longer in the region or really active in the game, endorsed!

I also wrote you in as my first preference in the Senate race but, alas, it was not to be.

[Pacific Councillor Big Wiggly Style]

You've got my second preference

And what would it take to get your first? (Also, haven't you left the region?)

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Mecha, Napoleon, Scott, Oakvale, Jones, and 20RP12 - Thank you for your support and encouragement.

Also, for everyone following the campaign - I'll be taking a break from Atlasia and the rest of the Atlas Forum for the next week as I work on final projects and prepare for graduation. I'll return before swearing in next Thursday.

[Senator Napoleon]

Ooh, you actually swear in this Thursday, but your LOA is noted.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Thank you, Napoleon. I realized this earlier today while filling out spreadsheets. So I amend my previous statement: I'll be around for swearing in and other urgent Assembly business only for the next week.

[Proud Lieberal from Northeast]

Cross-regional endorsement.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

With over one month remaining until the election, I've been focusing on my duties as Northeast Speaker. Today, I encourage all Northeasterners to check out the recently updated Northeast Vital Civic Information Thread, which has been stickied on the Regional Governments sub-board. The Assembly is currently discussing potential improvements to this thread, and any citizen suggestions would be welcomed.

I'm also posting to remind everyone to vote in tomorrow's special election. My endorsements:

[X] Former Senator Alfred Jones for Northeast Representative
AYE on the Vacancy Mitigation Act

Please see my comments at both links for further explanation of these endorsements. The Vacancy Mitigation Act is particularly important to maintaining active participation in regional politics, and I urge any voters with objections to air them - as I would very much appreciate the chance to respond.

Thanks,

Northeast Speaker & Liberal Party Whip Averroës Nix

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

Thanks again for the endorsement. Also, are we voting on the Act in the same booth-thing?

[Cincinnatus]

Endorsed.  You've been great in the Assembly

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

AJ (is it OK if I call you AJ?) - Yes
Cincinnatus - Thanks! It means a great deal, coming from you.

[IDS Legislator Alfred F. Jones]

AJ (is it OK if I call you AJ?)

INDEED.

[Simfan34]

Endorsed.

Northeast Assemblyman and Former Whig Party Chair Simfan34

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Thank you, Simfan. I'm especially grateful to have the support of someone from across the aisle, and with whom I've had plenty of (polite) disagreements.

[Simfan34]

All for the bettering of the region.

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

A couple of announcements:

1 - I've endorsed the recently-declared re-election campaigns of NE Representatives Simfan and AJ. Both legislators have been highly active contributors to discussion in the Northeast Assembly, and Representative Simfan deserves special credit for having introduced more bills than any other member this session.

1 - Former Representative Jerseyrules and I have made plans for a debate tentatively scheduled for next weekend. I encourage everyone to post questions in our Call for Questions thread. We are also seeking a moderator. This debate signals the beginning of the most active phase of the race. Expect more updates from this campaign!

[Rep Pyrofox]

Endorsed, if that wasn't already clear ^^

[Ѕenator Αverroës]

Thank you, Pyrofox. I'm glad to have your support.
