Thank you all so much!

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I stand here as the First Minister-elect, and I am so proud to be your First Minister-elect.

Last year, we started a movement to fundamentally transform politics in our great Commonwealth, as we launched a new party to represent those who are seldom acknowledged by the political mainstream: farmers and cultivators of our earth.  We had a mission to fundamentally change the state of politics in Fremont by addressing those we felt the Denver elite had long ignored.  And at this time, many Fremonters felt that they were ignored, by a government that was inactive and answered to no one.  People were tired of politics as usual, and this little party quickly grew to become a noble voice in our region's capital.

People wanted us to go to Denver to get things done, and we did exactly that.  We passed new bills that invested in infrastructure, established a regional bank, made community college tuition-free, took on climate change, and preserved our national parks.  We delivered on these things while staying committed to fiscal responsibility, and today we have a surplus that stands at over $180 billion.

I would like to thank our outgoing First Minister (and incoming Vice President!) YE for putting our commonwealth on the right track.  He has been a tremendous leader for our region, and we will follow his example of active leadership in the days ahead.

I would also like to thank Speaker ON Progressive for his leadership in Parliament, and I look forward to working with him as we soon begin the new session.

I must also thank Deputy GM Encke for his hard work in finalizing the new budget, which finally passed Parliament this past weekend, and ending months of fiscal uncertainty.

And I would like to thank all of you who came out to support our campaign this weekend.

The people of Fremont have given me more than I could ever hope to give back to them.  They have given me hope, faith, and optimism for our future.  And never for a minute will I forget about the people who sent me to Denver to lead for them.  The biggest thing I have learned about leadership is that leadership is much less about talking than it is listening: bringing people together, treating one another with respect, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table, whether they agree with you or not.

And that doesn't mean you don't have principles.  We have many.  I have stood and fought for the same things I intend to fight for as your First Minister, to protect civil liberties, to conserve our environment, to reform a broken criminal justice system, to promote higher education, and to make sure that we create opportunity for all Fremonters regardless of their zip code.

I believe that over the past year we have laid those foundations.  I believe this election has showed that people understand we have laid those foundations, and want to build on them.

So let's keep moving in the right direction.  Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

Thank you, Dave bless you, and Dave bless the Commonwealth of Fremont!

Statement

I am deeply saddened by the news of Senator Sestak's deregistration from the game.  During his service, Sestak represented Fremont honorably and actively.  His absence will be felt by all as we reach the end of a highly rigorous and contentious presidential campaign, and I hope we might see him return to Atlasia soon.

His departure leaves me with the task of appointing a temporary replacement, and in accordance with our region's Constitution, a special election shall be held this Friday to coincide with the special election for Parliament.  For the interim, I will appoint Representative Devout Centrist to fill the vacancy, who during his time as MP and Congressperson has proven to have the vigor and dedication worthy of taking Sestak's place in the Senate.

Statement

The presidential campaign season is finally at end, and the people have spoken.  Congratulations to President-elect Tmth, Vice President-elect Lumine, Senator-elect Ontario Progressive, and to all other victors of last weekend's contests.

As a result of the election, Fremont is in for quite a legislative shuffle, with the successful recall of MP RFA09 having taken place as well as the ascension of MP Lumine to the Vice Presidency and Speaker Ontario Progressive to the Senate.  A total of three Parliamentary vacancies will have to be filled soon, and our MPs will soon be tasked with electing a new Speaker.  As of today, RFA09's seat is now vacant and a replacement will need to be selected.  I would also like to find replacements for Lumine and Ontario Progressive before the next government is sworn in.  Please PM me if you would like to serve in Parliament or if you intend on running in upcoming special elections.
