10/16 regional Assemblymen/Representatives/Legislators are or were members of the RPP, including all five in the Mideast.
I think only three currently are though which is about proportionate to their decline in numbers.
Also there are two vacancies in the Northeast that are likely POP pick-ups.
You folks sure have lots of turnover up there. It seems like only a week ago there was a special election to fill three vacancies.
We sure do. I think it's mostly because our competitive elections and large population (meaning lots of prominent Atlasians) mean people are constantly moving up the ladder in some way or another. Winston resigned to join the Senate, Hashemite and Barnes just became cabinet members, etc.
That tends to be the effect of regional legislative bodies. I remember that after the Mideast created its assembly, its citizens gained such a strong presence in the federal government that there was hardly anyone left to run for regional offices.
