Assembly Race Shaping Up To Be A Doozy!
In the upcoming July Assembly elections, there are currently 7 declared candidates for the Mideast Assembly! Here is a brief bio on each of the candidates.
Inks.LWC - Inks has served the Mideast region for many years, serving as Governor, Senator, and Assemblyman. He is a member of Mideast Citizens for Progress Reform. He is an incumbment.
Happy Warrior - HappyWarrior is considered to be the most liberal member of the current Assembly. Like Inks, he has served the region for years. He is also a member of the Mideast Citizens for Progress and Reform, and currently serves as Speaker.
RogueBeaver - RogueBeaver was recently appointed by Governor ZuWo to replace A-Bob on the Assembly. He has yet to become active in Assembly affairs, but has announced his decision to seek reelection. He is a member of the Whig Party.
JCL - JCL is also a member of the Whig Party. He won an election to the Assembly in March, only to lose reelection in May. He gave Senator Ben a run for his money in the June 2012 Senatorial election, but ultimately fell short.
20RP12 - 20RP12, also known as Jake Matthews, is fairly new to the region, but not to the game. He has an impressive record of service in the Mideast Region, and currently serves as SoIA. He has long been considered one of Atlasia's most active members. He is a member of MCPR.
Oldiesfreak1854 - Oldiesfreak1854 is a member of the Whig Party. He announced his candidacy early, and has released a platform, which includes that he is pro-life, against gay marriage, and supports lower tax rates. We encourage this candidate to unlock his platform, so individuals may comment and learn more about this candidate.
Idaho BlueDogDem - Idaho Blue Dog Dem is a member of MCPR. He classifies himself as right leaning on economics and left leaning on social issues. He has opened a campaign office, but hasn't started an active campaign.
Tmthforu94 has announced that MCPR will be hosting a debate, and all candidates are expected to participate. This debate will give voters a better chance to learn about their candidates. At present time, the Porcupine predicts that Inks and HappyWarrior will both return to the Assembly, but believes the final 3 seats are entirely up for grabs.
Polling Update: The race for Governor in September 2012 has started very early this year. Governor ZuWo announced approximately one week ago that he would be seeking reelection. Soon after, former President Tmthforu94 announced he was forming an exploratory committee for the office. The first poll, done by A-Bob Research, had Tmthforu94 narrowly defeating the incumbment. Scott Survey's is currently conducting another poll on the race.
