Thank you to TimTurner and Thumb for moderating and holding this debate for us, I am appreciative of their work in holding this and I think the game is thankful that.

I did not originally intend on seeking this office, I had been asked to and after careful consideration I jumped in.

Our game is facing several issues, issues that are solvable.
Alright. What issues? And what solutions do you propose?
I think this game needs newer leadership. Leadership that has shown that you can be a newer player and ready to be President.
New
er. Nice save.
I am here today to tell all of the voters that I am equipped and prepared to serve you. We face large issues that are ahead of us,
You said that already.
Federally we must look at fixing our deficits and implementing a sensible budget.
Which every administration attempts to do.
Issues within our regions like too many offices being available ought to be fixed,
Oh, look - you actually pointed out a game issue! I wonder what your plan will be to solve it.
but this is for the regions to tackle.
...no actual plan to solve it.
We also should be aware that we should not steal opportunities away from our newer players. New people ought to have more opportunity to rise up in this game and contribute to our Government, we ought to encourage that.
And you don't actually think it should be solved.
I am a Governor of a region that is not so partisan in terms of the legislation we pass. In the South, we all work together for the benefit of the region.
"I am the governor of a one-party region."
I say we bring this mentality straight to Nyman. Let us work together as a country, left, right and center.
right, right, and right, you mean.
We need someone that is not from the past at the top of the ticket, which is why I think I am uniquely prepared for this job.
Not from the past? Please. You've been here nearly twice as long as I have, and I'm considered well-established.
This game is important to me, I want to see it thrive. I am going to take steps to really make this a more open game.
Again, everyone says this. It's a nice sounding vague platitude, yes, but it's still a vague platitude.
Including newer players in the administration,
You mean
newer like you? December 2016 newer? Or do you mean newer like your running mate, a signer of the First Constitution in 2004 before some current players were even born.
pushing for easier opportunity,
More vague platitudes.
What does this actually mean?and providing a new vision for Atlasia.
What new vision? You've given no specifics in here, you have no policy specifics in your campaign thread (and in fact, you've barely posted anything in your campaign thread). Just because you keep yelling "NEW VISION" doesn't mean that there's magically some 'new vision'.
If we do not elect in the next generation, I fear for the direction this game. This game cannot be a continuous retread of the past.
And yet you have failed to state even once how electing you would be any different from the administrations of the past.
When you vote for me, you will vote for a new vision for the game.
Again, WHAT NEW VISION?
YoungTexan/Vern: Newish Voices, No Vision.
