Okay, it's time to start doing this. I will allow 72 hours for you guys to ask the nominee questions, then we can get on with the voting.

[Lambsbread]

Southern Gothic,

What are your plans to revamp the SoIA position? As a former SoIA myself, I found it challenging to handle some of the responsibilities and pressures of the position, and subsequent members often fell inactive in the position. What do you plan to bring to the table to prevent that from happening again?

[White Trash]

Thank you Senator R2D2 for the question,

My goal as SoIA is to ensure that the position and the Department under it is as active as possible. I believe that I am in a unique position to do this, being a member of Labor in a Federalist administration I can assure you that I will not always be doing the President's bidding. Nor will I be towing the party line for Labor on every issue. I carry water for one group and one group only, and that is the people of the Atlasian republic. I have a vested interest in ensuring that I remain active, since I represent myself, my community, and my fellow countrymen before anything else. I will see to it that any policy that I have the honor of executing, is fair and just and serves in the interest of the Atlasian people as a whole.

[Blair]

Having worked with Southern Gothic on numerous bills throughout my time in Atlasia I know that he will bring honesty, integrity and dedication to this position. He's been a tireless advocate for the South, and I know that he will bring this energy as Secretary of the Interior. I hope my former colleagues in the Senate confirm him

[Associate Justice PiT]

     As SoIA, how do you see yourself working with the GM?

[Leinad]

It's been well-documented how this office so often ends up pumping nothing but dead air into the AFE board. How do you plan to make the SoIA's work tangible action that can be seen? (Yankee helped craft this question ftr.)

I plan on working closely with the GM. I will be corresponding with them on a near daily basis

I will be a very responsive and representative SoIA. I extend an invitation to all Atlasians to send me ideas and plans that they want to see enacted. My boss, first and foremost, is the good people of this republic and I plan on staying true to their word.

[Goldwater]

So, any more questions, or are we ready to do this?

[Leinad]

I motion for a final vote.

[Lambsbread]

I motion for a final vote.

Seconded.
