Candidate Declaration Thread

Even though I'm enjoying my short stint in the Assembly very much, I shall not be running for re-election or accepting write-in votes.

Taking on more obligations in the real game in April and lots of client work ahead as well.

Too bad.

Thanks, my friend.....I mean I'm not leaving the Atlas by any stretch but I don't have time to think about the NE Assembly right now........and the client work I want - $$$$$$$$$ 

Oh I know what you meant. And I stand by saying your leaving the NE Assembly is a loss to the region. (But apparently a $gain$ to you) 

[Badger]

I am running in the mideast congress assembly election

Corrected.

[Badger]

I am running for reelection to the Senate, at-large.

[Badger]

I am running for reelection to the Senate, at-large.

God help us..... 

So I can count on your support then?

[Badger]

I will run for Senate in June.

And become a social democrat before August? <fingers crossed>

[Badger]

     I am running for re-election as Southeast Legislator.

Endorsed! You do a great job working with fellow legislators with very different views from yours, and bring some ideological diversity to keep the SE Leg interesting too.

[Badger]

I'm running for re-election as Northeast Senator to give the remaining lefties someone to vote for

That shows great courage, friend. Good luck!

[Badger]

Good crop of legislature candidates we got coming, including a veteran or two getting active. I hope the Midwest takes notice.

[Badger]

I will run in the upcoming special election for the Northeast Assembly vacancy.

Not a fan of the big government proposals, like, needle exchange programs?

No, I'm not a fan, but that's not why I'm running.  We need to get a Seats Number Constitutional amendment on the ballot,  that can actually pass - and I can't propose much if I'm not in the legislature.

Cinyc is the hardes working person I've seen in an assembly......the Northeast will be glad to have him.

Yeah, he's kind of the NE version of Inks.

(That's a compliment, BTW )

[Badger]

I will be running for the Mideast Assembly in July.

[Badger]

Seems to be the season, so...

I am running for reelection as Senator-at-Large.

[Badger]

I will run for Mideast Assembly

Yea!

[Badger]

7. Libertas shall be sacrificed to the Sun God for no apparent rhyme or reason.

Are you going to give a Sun God a heart attack?

Or indigestion?

[Badger]

In a light of Hans just announced retirement.

I will run for a Midwest Senate seat this October.

As much as I'll miss Hans:

Endorsed!!

[Badger]

I will be a candidate for the Senate At-Large Special election.

Enthusiastically endorsed!

[Badger]

I am hereby announcing I will be making my grand return to Atlasia by running for my old Senate seat.

awesome!

[Badger]

I'm running for the NE Senate seat.

Endorsed!

^^^ this. I like DF well enough, but competition keeping the NE from being a one party state is good.

[Badger]

After much deliberation, I recant my earlier statement and will accept write-ins for Northeast Assembly.

I've gotten a lot of encouragement and urging from friends on both the left and the right (Whom I have to thank) and a significant amount of write-ins, so I'll hang in there rather than throw the chips down.

As much as I was appalled by your last vote to end the Federal Reserve (really, DF? Really??), I'm glad you've decided to stay active in Atlasia.

[Badger]

I will seek a second term as Governor of the Pacific next month.

Endorsed, naturally

[Badger]

As the voice of the people in the Senate, I suppose I must heed the popular call and stand for re-election in the at-large Senate elections.

Well, as long as you're not pompous about it....

[Badger]

Ok, I think it's time.

I'm running for December At-Large Senate election.

YAY!

[Badger]

I'll be running for Northeast assembly.

Endorsed

[Badger]

I will be running for Mideast Assembly (pulling a bit of a Biden....)

Endorsed!

[Badger]

I wll run for a full term as at-large Senator.

Endorsed!

[Badger]

Given pressure/harassment from others, I will accept my write-ins for Northeast Assembly.

(To address potential controversy, I said I wouldn't run; not that I wouldn't serve).
