Running for re-election

Tampa Bay, Florida

Official announcement

My fellow Southerners, let's get fired up Central Florida! I am seeking a third term to be your Senator and I've delivered results on a countless number of occasions. My proudest moment this term was suggesting an amendment to repeal certain provisions of the Assault Weapons Ban. The amendment removed certain handguns and shotguns from the AW schedule.

I've also worked to aid those suffering with addiction and help them seek rehabilitation. It is my highest priority to raise the standard of living for each and every Atlasian in this country. The latest bill I've introduced addresses the reduction of youth homelessness:

Youth Homelessness Bill

My fellow Atlasians, today I come before you with an update to combat our homelessness problem in Atlasia. Many youth are homeless and this is a problem that has not received much attention in our country. Up to 60% of youth that are victims of crimes such as human trafficking are homeless.

This needs to end. I just put forth a bill to stop this from occurring. The Hubert H. Humphrey Helping Hand for the Homeless Act will establish grants given by the federal government to community centers in combatting youth homelessness. We need to show care for our most vulnerable in order for them to thrive. I do not forget about those who are voiceless.

I will continue fighting for you in the Senate.
As you know, my career in the Senate has been rightly remarkable. I've taken a stand against those who are pro-choice in introducing resolutions condemning the murderous practice of abortion. I have not stopped short of taking on the Labor machine.

This is the reason, among others that I am asking your support for this re-election bid. To continue protecting the sanctity of life, safeguarding our 2nd amendment, fighting for fair trade deals, and a sensible and pragmatic foreign policy, I urge you all to send me back to the Senate. You all know very well I am the people's champion, and I will not let another campaign detract from the important work we are doing in the honorable Senate.

Here are a few priorities of mine if re-elected to the Senate:

-Fighting for a fair trade deal with Japan in exporting Atlasian automobiles overseas
-Protecting Taiwan's status as a sovereign nation and key ally
-Investing in oil and natural gas as well as addressing climate change without raising taxes
-Establishing effective transitionary services for citizens in halfway houses
-Reducing the prison population by 25%
-Re-introducing a constitutional amendment on abortion to be ratified by 2/3 of the regions

These priorities are not all of the issues I plan to take on next term.

You can be confident that I will continue to be principled, pragmatic, and active in meeting our daily challenges in Atlasia. The opposition cannot say the same. They are not as committed as I am to tackle these problems head on and bring many Atlasians out of the shadows.

Best,

Spark

Accomplishments

I've been committed to improving the lives of working class Atlasians each day and protecting our most vulnerable. A bill I had introduced just most recently passed the Senate. The Addiction Transitory Act will provide much needed resources for those struggling with addiction. It is a true public health crisis. Instead of criminalizing this, we need to shift toward a focus on rehabilitation. I have the best interests of Atlasians in mind. The bill provides for key mental health services and supports re-entry into society.

My work this term has been focused on providing opportunities for those who lack them and I will remain committed to this mission in my next term.

2nd amendment protection

In the next term, I plan to prioritize safeguarding the 2nd amendment protection for all of our citizens in the South by minimizing the impact of red flag laws. I am opposed to these laws because I believe it can disproportionately affect law abiding citizens. The government goes too far in this instance, and takes away autonomy from our people to protect themselves.

Announcement for Southern Governor

Orlando, Florida

Hello my fellow Southerners, I come before you this evening with some important news. I am joining this next race for Southern governor because the people believe they need a choice. It is in the best interest of those in our region to provide them with options regarding who should serve as the next Southern Governor. I believe I am best positioned to bring all sides together in a overly partisan and divided time. While incumbent Governor LT and I agree on many issues, and I personally have nothing against him, most Southerners have a peculiar view of how he handled his conduct a year ago. I have out-rightly condemned LT for those actions. Currently, public opinion shows LT struggling to gain the majority support of voters in the South.

What we don't need is additional gridlock and an increasingly partisan divide to complicate matters at this point. I'd get to work immediately with the Chamber of Delegates as I have done in the past to move the region forward on a number of fronts. Instead of constantly hurling attacks at one another, we can come together to solve problems.

In a short time, I will be releasing a campaign platform to guide my initiatives for this upcoming campaign.

I've said it since I've joined this game, principles over party each time. While I abhor Labor, we need to accomplish initiatives and pass bills. LT has exacerbated tensions with everybody. I hope to reconcile with you on his behalf.

Best,

Spark

Reducing Partisanship, Restoring Civility

Macon, GA

Hello my fellow Southerners! How are ya'll doing? It is great to be here to speak with you virtually in Georgia. I believe it is imperative that in this age we come together to solve problems and be less embattled. We cannot afford to sacrifice the well-being of our citizens by politicizing masking and vaccines. These practices are an Atlasian idea and one that is imperative to rid this nation of the virus. On my first day in office, I will ensure that each Southerner is equipped with a free testing kit, best mask, and free availability to a vaccine. Not every Southerner lives in an urban area and my utmost priority as Southern Governor is to establish mobile vaccine clinics to transport the vaccine to rural areas.

Partisanship only seeks to further divide us on this issue. Governor LT, while I respect him much, has only served to exacerbate these tensions. Southerners are looking for someone to not only lead, but to do it in a way that does not enflame tensions among us. Talking points have replaced sensible, pragmatic solutions. The South has been devoid of these solutions and progress has stalled. The war of words has degraded not only our region, but Atlasia itself. If you elect me Governor, things will inevitably change. You can count on that. I know how to work with the other side to come to agreements on a variety of issues. As a Senator, I gained bi-partisan support for bills and now lead the Federalist opposition. Being an officeholder comes with great power, but I never have abused it. It is important that we leave the past periods of gridlock and inflammatory rhetoric behind.

Now is the time for a brand new future. We just need to embrace it.

The time is now to make a change to have a better for the South in the future.

Yours truly,

Spark

Improving Activity in Atlasia

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Hey Tulsa! I am here with you to talk about improving activity in the Southern region, which I believe could indeed serve as a blueprint to bring to a national scale. My plan to increase activity in the South, and the country in general, is to establish citizen committees on different policy issues sponsored by the Chamber of Delegates. These committees will be held on a weekly basis as a public forum for other citizens to voice their concerns. As Governor, I will spearhead initiatives that gain public favor.

Some other ways that I plan to improve activity include creating additional departments for the executive branch in the South. More job openings, means more players to fill those positions. A more expansive view of personnel management will benefit us all in the South. Applications will be based on merit.

I also commit to nominate people based on merit and ability, not solely political affiliation. I will fill all new vacancies within my first 90 days in office. We need to create more efficient NPC play after we increase activity further by utilizing election calendars to increase transparency, as well as setting a time for registration of new users during election seasons.  

The bottom line is that we cannot afford to grow complacent. Complacency breeds stagnation, that is something I will fight to overcome as Southern Governor. I will bring a new, fresh perspective to the Governor's mansion. A perspective filled with optimism, moderation, and pragmatic solutions. We will have an administration devoid of partisan attacks and unethical conduct. The best course is to refrain from hurling attacks at political opponents and focus on getting things done for the South.

Interview with the Gulf Coast Sun

I am currently interviewing in the studio of the Gulf Coast Sun with Fmr. President Weatherboy at the Gulf Coast Sun. I plan to provide all Southerners with my plans if elected the next Southern Governor this week. Be sure to follow along as the transcript will be released later today!

Transcript from interview

Interviews, Part I: A Sit-down with Spark


WB: Welcome into the studio, Senator!

Spark: Great to be with you Mr. WB.

WB: Alright senator, I suppose the first question on everyone’s minds right now is: why are you running for Governor?

Spark: The reason I am running for Governor is clear. Southerners, as evidenced through their preferences in public opinion polls and statements, are tired of the immense partisanship we have been witnessing. Incumbent Governor LT has not focused on the issues that matter to the average citizen and instead shifted attention to the frivolous. LT's past conduct in office has degraded the fabric of Southern society and the discourse continued to ramp up. I am running to decrease these partisan tensions and heal our region. I hope to bring together everyone across the political spectrum to confront the challenges of our time. Moreover, I have effective, pragmatic solutions that will work for all of our people and leave none behind.

WB: You touched on something I wanted to cover here too: you and LT seemed to have a cordial relationship in the past, what exactly happened that made you change your mind?

Spark: I have great respect for Governor LT on the issues and as a member of my party. However, his personal conduct is something that I cannot support.

Transparency is lacking on his part as well. Southerners deserve full clarity about things.

While LT has not been convicted of any crimes, he has escaped responsibility. That is something no Atlasian should look favorably on. I served time for my misdeeds and have never used the confines of my office for personal gain. It is important that we spur activity and not breed complacency with the current administration. Not enough is being done about the COVID crisis and the activity problem. I have solutions that can confront these challenges.

WB: What are those solutions?

Spark: I have specific solutions to tackle the COVID pandemic that involve the promotion of free vaccines and establishing mobile vaccination clinics across the Southern region. I will establish a new regional COVID board comprised of top officials from both parties to advise the Chamber of Delegates and myself about these matters. Expanding access to the vaccine is critical, and not all Southerners live in proximity to urban areas. Our rural residents will gain access to the vaccine through these mobile vaccination centers. We also need to do more to de-emphasize the politicization of the vaccine and masking. Getting a vaccine is a patriotic thing to do, and all Southerners should get vaccinated. The only way we can defeat this virus is through mass vaccination. For those skeptical of the vaccine, many people have gotten vaccinations for other diseases without consequence. Masking, is necessary and responsible.
As it pertains to the activity crisis, I will work to establish additional positions in the executive branch and open applications for the most qualified individuals based on merit. I also plan to engage and involve citizens more in the decision-making process of the Chamber of Delegates and Governor's office. I will create citizen committees that Atlasians can serve on to consult elected officials about the issues they are experiencing.

WB: So I take it that you are extremely opposed to the recent efforts to nullify several federal laws including vaccine and mask mandates? Do you think that those moves are mistakes?

Spark: Well, that is a great question Mr. Weatherboy. I stand opposed to any efforts nullifying federal efforts related to vaccination, but not masking. Masking should be left up to the regions, but I can affirmatively state that I will encourage masking for the South to best of my ability. It is a mistake to assume that personal freedom should be elevated above public safety during such a crisis. It surely is a balancing act between the two. I think we can accomplish both. If elected Governor, it will be my utmost priority to protect the welfare of Southerners.

WB: Aside from covid and activity, what other issues would you prioritize?

Spark: Other issues of priority include balancing the budget, protecting the sanctity of life, reducing electricity costs for Southerners up to 1/3 by establishing a regional energy authority, and expanding the child tax credit by 25%.

WB: There are some other candidates in the race currently, mostly on the left. What do you have to say to those on the left who may be hesitant to preference you?

Spark: To left-leaning and moderate voters, I ask you to consider your choices in this election. If we all split the vote, we will have no chance in this election and lose our chance to make a change. I encourage you to look at my record of finding common ground on expanding access for education, protecting the environment, and improving our infrastructure while making your choice. I have learned from my past conduct, while LT's behavior will inevitably continue. I will work with any Atlasian officeholder to bring the interests of the Southern region forward. My administration will counter the hyper-partisanship we have witnessed in the past year.

WB: Lastly, is there anything else you have to say that you feel that you haven't here?

Spark: Mr. Weatherboy, I appreciate you taking the time to conduct this interview. I thank the Gulf Coast Sun for their time today. I urge all Southerners to support my candidacy against division, partisanship, and unsavory tactics which do not serve to our betterment. As an independent thinker, I have brought many solutions to fruition for our region from the Chamber of Delegates to the Senate. I've worked with people from all parties and will continue that commitment to bi-partisanship as Governor. It is my firm belief that things will only get better if I am in office serving you. Thank you for your consideration, and Dave bless the South.

WB: Thank you for your time senator, and I’ll see you during the debate.

Opening Statement

I greatly thank Mr. Weatherboy, the Gulf Coast Sun, the Governor, fellow candidates, and Southerners for being with us this evening. The fact is that the South stands at a crossroads. Are we going to tolerate this level of conduct in our region and continue down the road of no progress? Or are we going to turn it around with a candidate who has implemented sensible and pragmatic solutions for all Southerners? The choice is clear. I believe I am the candidate best positioned to accomplish priorities that each Southerner desperately needs and deserves.

It is important that we move forward from the past and pivot toward a brighter future. The only way we can accomplish this is by officeholders taking responsibility for shortcomings and recognizing where they went wrong. The current state of the region worries me, and I felt a sense of duty to run in this race.

Governor LT, while I respect him, has not lead this session well and it has yielded little results of note. After the incidents of a year ago, no Southerner should tolerate that unacceptable conduct especially while in office. The other candidates, I might add, have little chance of victory. I urge all Southerners to consider the most viable option in this race. While you may have had qualms with me in the past, you cannot deny that I achieve results.

Instead of fomenting division, we can forge bi-partisan solutions that work on a multitude of issues from COVID, to the activity crisis, the economy, education, healthcare, and so much more. The time of hyper-partisan politics is over, and time for conciliation to begin. To all Southerners, let's move on from this present state of the region to unlock our full potential. We can do it together.

Round 1

1. I am firmly pro-life and support the sanctity of life in all cases. That being said, we should abide by certain protections of the law. My responsibility as Governor will be to enforce the law as it stands, but understand that people may express their concerns about circumstances out of their control. Adoption is always the best option, abortion is never the answer. I will be the most pro-life Governor in Southern history by vetoing any pro-abortion legislation.

2. I cannot speculate on the outcome of that pending litigation, but I can assure you that as a pro-life candidate for Governor, I will do everything in my power to protect the unborn. Perhaps, we can pass a more agreeable measure for all sides involved that imposes restrictions after the first trimester, and promote adoption as the first course of action.

3. These acts are likely not congruent with the Constitution. These laws are a flagrant violation of the Supremacy Clause. Federal laws supersede state laws and we ought to respect that doctrine. We need to be mindful of our executive power and ensure it goes not grow out of control. These laws are a clear overreach.

4. The Southern Constitutional Convention should have a number of priorities, including updating the Southern Constitution to reflect the new sub-regions. I agree with Delegate Reagente that Southerners should have expanded protections from the Bill of Rights. I support these efforts to reform the Constitution. Another reform should be to institute a Lieutenant Governor in the South, having a second in command can go a long way in supporting the administration's efforts. However, we need to ensure we do not interfere with the balance of power in any form.

5. While I don't oppose the idea of Critical Belief of Dreadnought, I believe it could be best incorporated as a series of themes or topics in curriculum. There certainly is much value in devoting time to this subject, however, it should not be the central focus. I'd be open to legislation on the matter when we move forward on our education policy initiatives.

6.  I assure you that the current session of the Chamber of Delegates we witnessed will never be repeated under a Spark administration. The region has gone stagnate, and I will do much to reinvigorate activity in our legislature such as establishing citizen committees. The Chamber would sponsor a committee on a weekly basis. This will serve to give our citizens a voice in our daily business, and I will establish an executive liaison to be sent to the Chamber of Delegates regarding my priorities.

I'll create the most proactive administration by establishing cabinet posts for the executive branch and grant additional opportunities for citizens to be involved in government. We should not be enriching ourselves, but grant some of this prosperity to Southerners. Southerners are clamoring for action on a number of fronts and we need to be bold if we are going to turn things around.

7. As it pertains to this issue, it has no bearing on my ability to serve. I have publicly apologized to these women and was going through a phase during my college years. This is no excuse for those statements, but I assure you I have committed no crimes while in office. After what we've seen transpire in the past, I want you to know I'll hear the concerns of female users and Southerners in the South to propose new standards of conduct for officeholders. As Governor, I'll open a public forum on the matter.

Rebuttal

If anyone knows me throughout my career, I've placed principles over party and partisanship. LT does not appreciate the fact that I can work in tandem with the other side. He has allowed himself to devolve to petty politics and devious behavior un-befitting of a sitting Governor. Behind the scenes, the Governor uses his office as a weapon to intimidate others and get the best of them. That is not the definition of integrity. I assure you, that on day one of a Spark administration, this will end. I respect my office and I will respect all Southerners.

Round 2

1. If anything, creating additional sub-regional seats increases the amount of competition in the South. I disagree with the notion that this is unfair in any way. It is not a Federalist idea, but a Southern idea for more people wanting to run for office. I support the new system in its entirety.

2. Civility and dignity are imperative ideals to strive for in our region. As Governor, I will ensure that these principles guide the actions of our administration. Via executive order, I would establish a bi-partisan ethics board to institute new standards of conduct for officeholders by implementing guidelines for behavior. We should expect the best conduct from our public officials while serving in office. Another way to promote civility and dignity is to respect our political opponents and not vilify everyone with whom we come into contact. The atmosphere created by the incumbent administration has been toxic, and we need to reverse course immediately.

3. The Southern education system largely should ensure each of our students has access to a high-quality education. As a delegate, I introduced a bill that implemented mandatory pre-K in the South as well as a portfolio system for assessment. As Governor, I plan to build on these initiatives by involving parents more in the process of their student's education and establishing additional funding for after-school activities and recreational centers.

4. The best way to address poverty in the South is ensuring that each Southerner has the tools that they need to thrive. This involves subsidizing employment programs in order for people to get quality job training for higher wages, and we need to expand the child tax credit for middle class families. Poverty is cyclic, and we need to disrupt its root cause from preventing it from occurring in the future. My administration will leave no one behind on this issue.

5. I am grateful for Governor LT being steadfast in response to the COVID crisis. And the others, for their determination.

6. Climate change is absolutely a valid concern and real threat to our region. However, I do not support impose additional taxes or regulations upon our businesses. I believe we can find fair solutions that are both business and environmentally friendly. In particular, I support reducing electricity costs for the average Southerner up to 1/3. This will cut our emissions on this front. Also, I will to help establish a regional energy authority to present a plan in reducing these costs to the Chamber of Delegates by May 31. We must gradually shift from our dependence on fossil fuels and gasoline-powered vehicles to electric vehicles by 2050. This is the reason I support subsidizing for the cost of production of electric cars. Rest assured, the issue of climate change will be addressed under a Spark governorship.

7. This proposal will have the effect of spurring activity in the region by involving the citizens directly. A Citizen Communication Corp will be formed by executive order. The Chamber of Delegates and I will inform citizens in advance that these committee meetings are being held. Each committee will address an issue such as COVID, housing, or education. There will be a weekly rotation of committees to keep ideas fresh. The committee agenda will be set by a citizen who will serve as chair. The CoD will then address these questions or concerns on how to best implement solutions to that issue. The Corp will meet its goal by firstly gaining the attention of the Chamber of Delegates about issues, secondly, providing a public forum for citizens to exchange ideas, and for new players to gain prominence as advocates.

Call to Action

I urge all Southerners to join me in this fight to save our region. I promise you that we will make boundless progress in the next session. A vote for this administration is a vote for more of the same. Are you satisfied with what has transpired over the past year? If not, join me for a better South, one that is committed to sensibility, bi-partisanahip, and less partisan rancor. A region filled with civility, not cunning tactics. It will be my mission each day to fight for you.

Remember, polls open at 12 AM EST. I am honored to receive your consideration and to have your vote. Don't forget to VOTE Spark. For those ideologically opposed to me, please consider a high preference

Thank you.

Best,

Spark

Withdrawal from the race

My fellow Southerners, with this election's results looking like the path to victory is closing, I am announcing this evening that I am withdrawing from the race for Southern Governor. I chose to run to spur activity in the region, which is what we most desperately need. I plan to run again in the future for this office.

Until that time, I hope to continue our work in the Senate to fight for this region and all Atlasians. My commitment to this region is unwavering and I look forward to keep working for everyone. I encourage voters to vote their conscience in this election for the best and most viable candidate who can bring change to the South.

Best,

Spark

Re-election campaign for Senate

As you may know, I am seeking re-election to the Atlasian Senate. We have made great progress in the last few terms and I want to continue working to serve you. If re-elected, some priorities that I will focus on include:

-Expanding broadband access to each Atlasian
-Increasing the tax credit for small businesses
-Supporting clean coal, natural gas, and credits for renewable energy
-Investing at least $1 million in constructing new bridges, roads, and tunnels
-Work to better interconnect our rail systems by increasing efficiency of travel

Resignation

My fellow Atlasians, I've been humbled and honored by the support I've been given over the past year. Your confidence in me can never be repaid. The south has been incredible progress since I've been in office. But it's not time to pass the torch to the next generation of leaders who can best solve the crises we face. In light of the uncertainty surrounding my health IRL, as well as diminishing returns, I am dropping out of the race for re-election. I endorse Mr. Reactionary, as I know he is a true fighter for Atlasians and gets much done with legislation.

I have many important priorities to focus on soon IRL so my attention must be fully there. I was dedicated to putting the South first and foremost and I am most proud of that. I intend on enjoying retirement.

Thank you all.

Best,

Spark

Campaign for Southern Chamber

Hello everyone, I announced yesterday to run for Southern Chamber yet again. I believe my record speaks for itself but we must defend our region against this lawless affront placed upon us. This crisis has made me unable to stand on the sidelines and watch this charade happen. Make no mistake about it, Kansas is part of the South. As a legislator and citizen, I will do all I can within my power to preserve that state's right to remain unfettered by executive overreach. During my career, I've always been committed to doing what is in the best interest of the people.

Some campaign priorities include:
-Battling inflationary pressures on our citizens and businesses by introducing a gas tax rebate
-Fight for Kansas by protecting its territorial integrity and sovereignty
-Expanding educational tax credits for low-income areas
-Establishing a regional energy authority to lower electricity costs

When we work together, we win. I plan to deliver yet again for the South.

Thank you all for your consideration and confidence.

Best,

Spark

Election Day

I will honor any result of this election. I can say that we have triumphed before and we will do so again. No obstacle is too large to keep us from reaching our goals together. Remember to vote Spark for the reform that is necessary. I will defend Kansas, our liberty, and our prosperity.

Vote for a sensible and pragmatic choice for Southern Chamber of Delegates. I have proven I can get results and work with other legislators and the Governor.

I appreciate your consideration and hope to earn your vote.

Best,

Spark

Progress this session

I have voted in the affirmative on a record number of bills and introduced a bill that included grocery tax rebates and increased the child tax credit.

Let's keep moving forward!

Running write-in campaign

I am running for at-large Senate this weekend. Please consider my platform, which is very similar to my presidential campaign platform. I'd bring all of those solutions to fruition on a national scale. Atlasia is in need of dire reforms and I plan to work with the new presidential administration if I am elected to Congress.

Thank you, and I hope to earn your vote and good luck to all candidates this weekend.

Best,
