Not to worry, I'm acting under orders. Historically, the LNC's Deputy Chair was responsible for opening the convention anyways — it's only recently that the Chair took over that job.

How was Atlanta selected, may I ask?

Oh, it's a fun story. Technically, NeverAgain should have conducted a vote at the last convention — but instead he blew himself up, and in the ensuing chaos I guess everyone forgot about it. Under these circumstances, it was up to the LNC to pick a city. By tradition, the convention site rotates from region to region; the Summer Convention was in Fremont and the Winter Convention in Lincoln, so this month we're in the South. As for Atlanta specifically — I just finished rereading the last few chapters of McPherson's Battle Hymn of the Republic, so the city was on my mind. That and Adam.

I’m opening the nomination window for leadership elections.

Due to time and activity concerns, I will not be seeking another term as Labor Chair.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

I nominate Hagrid for Labor Chair because we all know it's gonna happen sooner of later

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I nominate Adam Griffin for Chair.

I nominate Adam Griffin.

I second this nomination.

By the way I hope we can reserve a day for convention speeches before the presidential nomination vote if that's okay with the Chair.

[Adam Griffin]

Eh, screw it: I'll accept the nominations for my candidacy as Chair.
