Statement on election to Southern Chamber of Delegates

Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to my fellow Southerners for providing me with the opportunity to serve in the Chamber of Delegates. I will work to the best of my ability to cooperate with other members of the CoD and place the interests of our citizens first and foremost. I was given the chance to make a difference in the lives of Atlasians who deserve access to opportunity and a chance to succeed. We have the honor of being the only region left with regularly elected Senators. This is an example of how the South continues to be leading in Atlasia as a bastion of stability. My service will be marked by being a great advocate, speaking out for the voiceless, and having consistent activity. This is what the South deserves and I will be able to provide that. I know that you will be find my work promising for all of us.

Thank you.

Taking office soon & Deputy Speaker self-nomination

My fellow Southerners, in light of Speaker Saint's recent announcement to not seek a full term, I have decided to nominate myself to become Deputy Speaker of the Southern Chamber of Delegates to assist the new Speaker. This exemplifies my willingness and eagerness to serve our citizens. I endorse our next Speaker fully and wholeheartedly. It's important to have a tandem who will be both productive and efficient together in carrying out their duties. I can accomplish this, as I have prior experience in the legislature which includes a 1/2 term in Lincoln and now service to the South. I believe that I can provide a consistent supporting role in this office and ask that my colleagues and officials to consider my nomination to this critically important post.

I will be taking office as Southern Delegate on Friday as set by the Constitution, and pledge to be an active voice for our citizens. I plan to complete many important actions through my tenure including movement of bills on education, the budget, infrastructure, and the environment. I am going to fight corruption to the utmost of my ability while going forward to ensure accountability and transparency for our legislators. I'll be resolute in my commitment to accomplishing meaningful change in the lives of Southerners.

We can only accomplish this together. Thank you for your consideration!

Swearing-in, Votes, and Bill introductions

My fellow Southerners, I took office today as a Delegate to the Southern Chamber of Delegates. I have already voted on a number of important bills, most notably the federal War Powers Amendment. I'm eager to get to work for all Atlasians in the South. I also hit the ground running by introducing legisation related to education, which includes the School Methods Act and the School Bullying Prevention Act. Other highlights of my tenure I hope to complete are bills related to security and the budget. I will continually strive to serve you and fight for our citizens to allow them to become prosperous while having access to equal opportunity.

Thank you.

[Senator Spark]

Progress and Deputy Speaker nomination

Hello all, I would like to update you on the progress I have been making in the Southern legislature. I have introduced a few bills that are of great importance related to criminal justice reform. I am a strong proponent to fix our criminal justice system and focus more on rehabilitation rather than punishment for perpetrators of non-violent crimes. This will reduce the overcrowding of our prisons and by providing resources for those who have been convicted, we can reduce the rate of recidivism in our society and inmates back to living their daily lives as productive citizens. Once we address the underlying issues, productivity can be restored.

Regarding my nomination as Deputy Speaker of the Southern Chamber of Delegates, I was formally nominated by Delegate YoungTexan today and I could not be more grateful for his support as well as the Federalist Party. I wish him the best on his House run and that he continues to be a beacon of hope and change for our citizens, he is an incredible public servant and we owe him a debt of gratitude for his service to our region. I appreciate the encouragement and everyone's willingness to serve. Let's work together to truly transform the Southern region into something better for all of us!

[Senator Spark]

Deputy Speaker Election

My fellow colleagues, I would sincerely like to thank you for your confidence in me to serve as Deputy Speaker of the Southern Chamber of Delegates. I plan to work effectively with our new Speaker, TimTurner, to accomplish much needed reform in our region. We must move past our differences and look toward the bigger picture, which is prosperity for the South. Our citizens deserve legislators who will heed the call of service and do so to the best of their ability. I will continue fighting for our citizens to reduce corruption, ensure accountability, and improve our everyday of life.

This means a lot, thank you.

 

[Senator Spark]

Congratulations!! I’m looking forward to the Liberty Party making the South proud of their officeholders!

Thank you very much Sen. Haslam.

[Senator Spark]

Spark....he is right that you joined a literal troll party (the CDU is a troll party) and then joined the federalists right before the election to try and get a boost.....in addition, I think he is right on Ben (no offense Ben but we have had these arguments in the past and although I never went public with arguments we had our fair share) that you should not threaten others in such a way. In addition, expulsion measures are idiotic and only make the person introducing them look stupid, usually.

This isn't a matter of me joining the CDU, it's a matter that he came after not one, but two people within the party and his fellow colleagues. Ben and YT are both wrong. We are not acting as a "big tent" party, and this has got to end.

[Senator Spark]

My fellow Southerners, the disputes have been resolved and we have restored order to the Chamber.

[Senator Spark]

Limited Activity

My activity will be limited today due to IRL commitments such as moving back to college, and my activity may be more limited for two weeks, although I still instead to serve as a Delegate and Deputy Speaker. I will continue to strive to work for my consitutents and bring lasting change to the South.

Thank you.

[Senator Spark]

Voting

I am still currently voting on bills that are deemed important in the Southern region, and plan to continue serving the people of the South.

[Senator Spark]

Limited Activity and Re-election bid

I would like all of my constituents to know and bring to the attention of the people of the South that I am limited in my activity due to IRL duties and commitments, however, I remain committed to furthering the mission of the South and serving our citizens. I will continue to vote on bills, offer my thoughts for debate on legislation, and hope to introduce more bills in the near future.

I also would like to formally announce to you all that I will be seeking a second term to the Southern Chamber of Delegates. I believe that although progress is gradual, that substantial change is possible in the South and we can alter its course of affairs for our citizens. Significant improvements were made in regard to policy areas such as criminal justice and education, which are signature accomplishments of my first term. As Deputy Speaker, I ensured the cooperation of those in the Chamber to strive for something greater than ourselves and place our differences aside. I hope that I will garner your support in my bid for re-election.

Thank you.

Statement on Governor Tmthforu94 and Activity

As many of you may know, Gov. Tmth has called for me to step down as Deputy Speaker, and I would like to make it clear to my constituents that I will not do so and intend to be more active as Deputy Speaker until the remainder of the term. I still will be running for re-election to the Chamber of Delegates and have fulfilled my responsibilities for the office by participating in votes and introducing legislation. Things have been extremely busy IRL, and it has been interfering with my duties to run the Chamber.

This has been a disservice to the region and for that, I apologize. I hold the South in high esteem, and will grant another delegate the opportunity to serve in this role in the next session until I am permitted vacation time from my education in IRL. This is when I intend to pursue another leadership role, and it's my ideal time to remain active.

Our governor wants things to move very quickly, but it is at the legislature's discretion to move bills. He works very diligently to ensure that we are accountable and wants the best for our region.

I do take this concern into account and believe that it is in the best interest of the South for someone else to serve in the #2 spot in the legislature for the next session.

I will keep the Chamber moving for the remainder of the term.

Thank you.

Deputy Speaker Spark

Re-election Bid

My fellow Atlasians, I come before you today with my intentions of running for re-election on October 19th. We have made much progress on criminal justice reform and education during my tenure and I believe that this work must continue into the future. I have been working to keep Atlasians safe from sex offenders and we've passed a bill that will allow judges to impose maximum sentences and have more discretion in rulings. Other highlights have been on education and allowing our children more opportunities to seek a quality education in enhancing our public and charter schools. One of my best moments was helping author a bill that would change our institutional methods on standardized testing to allow the South to focus more on individual pupils rather than as a collective body. Our children have much to offer as they are the upcoming generation with much promise. While I will not be seeking re-election as Deputy Speaker, I still plan to remain an active member of the Chamber of Delegates and engage in votes, debates, and other relevant duties to ensure that the South remains a leader of excellence in Atlasia. I hope to gain your support again in this upcoming election to continue much needed progress in our region.

Thank you.

[Senator Spark]

Endorsed!!!

Thank you!

Election - October 19th

My fellow Atlasians, be sure to vote on Friday. I am running for re-election as a Delegate to the Southern Chamber of Delegates. I believe I've sufficiently been committed and kept my promises and obligations to you as a Delegate. This term was slow but steady, as we accomplished very much. Please consider voting for me once again so we can keep the South moving in the right direction.

I'd appreciate your support.

Thank you.

Statement on Recall Petition

My fellow Atlasians in the Southern region, Gov. TM has expressed much discontent on the way things have been transpiring in the Southern legislature. I had been present for many votes last session and although I have not been as active as I would like due to IRL commitments, I still have an unwavering commitment to you. Once the vacation begins, I plan to compose new legislation in the Southern Chamber and participate in significant debate. I will not have the opportunity if I am recalled. I am asking that the legislature and myself are granted time to become more involved this session to make lasting changes in our region. I support the Governor fully to ensure that delegates are as active as possible and serves as a reminder to conduct our duties promptly. I can ensure that I remain committed to you and the promise the region brings to all.

Thank you.

Delegate Spark

[Senator Spark]

Activity Level and Announcement

Hi everyone, I am committed to furthering the Southern region's mission and advancing our quality of life in the region. I am scheduled to undergo a recall election next Friday and am imploring the Governor to withdraw his petition against me. I have had much going on recently but am still going to continue conducting my duties until the remainder of the term. Due to the recall, I have decided to not seek a third term in January.

I have a major announcement for you that I will be seeking elected office to the House of Representatives on December 14th. I believe that as your advocate, I can be an effective voice in Nyman and bring real change to our nation. I was able to accomplish very much in my two terms as a Delegate in the Southern Chamber of Delegates and made some real reforms that affect each Atlasian in the Southern region. Each citizen is afforded a better quality education and increased security due to the bills that were passed. I would like to thank you all for your confidence in me during my tenure as a Southern Delegate, and that you would also consider supporting my bid for election to the House next month. I promise to remain as active and consistent as possible during my tenure and that I will be a check to federal officeholders. I believe that we can accomplish anything together and make our nation a better place!

I would be humbled and honored for your support.

Thank you.

Quick question, what did you do during this term to warrant support for a congressional run?

I believe throughout my tenure, I have proven a capability to produce results and work to the best of my ability with colleagues in the Chamber.

But what specifically did you do to warrant support?

Criminal justice reform. I chose it was time to move to the federal level and serve in Nyman for all Atlasians.
