Statement from the office of Governor Tmthforu94

Others talk, TM acts. The Wiki is a top priority for Governor TM, and he worked to get Supreme Leader Dave to grant access to many top Atlasians, which also led to Dave's first post in Atlasia in over 10 years (unverified fact but never remember seeing him post before).

"I will keep fighting hard for The South and all of Atlasia!!! Maybe I should be on ballot for presidential election? Let The People decide," he said.

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

I want to publicly recognize AustralianSwingVoter for all of the hard work he is putting into updating our regional Wiki. He has been working his tail off ever since Dave granted him access last week. He has added a lot of valuable information regarding elections and history of our Chamber. I know he has also put in a massive amount of effort on other regions as well.

Thank you for your contributions, ASV! Keep it up, I appreciate you!!!

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

In recent days and weeks, we have been made aware of politicians from the RL South that had previously dressed in blackface/other racially insensitive attire. As leaders in our nation, we should be held to a higher standard. I condemn these actions and believe these leaders should step down so that the state, region and nation can heal and move forward from these events.

[tmthforu94]

As a reminder, regional senate elections and the constitutional amendment vote will open NEXT weekend, as mandated in the Constitution.

[tmthforu94]

Rest in Peace Walter Jones. He was a pragmatic and thoughtful leader who will be missed!! Prayers for his family during this difficult time.

[tmthforu94]

BREAKING NEWS

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

Good Morning, People of The South:

I am humbled and honored to speak to you today as the President-elect of Atlasia. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your Governor for the past 7 months. When assuming office, we had instability in the executive and legislative branches, budget issues and a constitution needing revamped. Today I feel confident in saying that the state of our region is strong. We have had consistent activity and our legislature is a good blend of experience and fresh faces.

Serving as Southern Governor may be my favorite job to date – I have worked with some wonderful people and we’ve accomplished so much. In 2018, the Southern legislature passed more legislation than any region in the history of the game. I am very proud of the work everyone put in to accomplish that.

As I begin the transition to the White House, I will work my hardest to ensure that there is a smooth transition to the next Governor. Part of that includes working with the new Governor to get a budget discussion started on March 1st, as required by the Constitution.

Since much of my focus will be preparing on my transition to the White House, after careful consideration, I have concluded that the best decision is for me to resign now so that the next Governor can start as soon as possible. This will allow them to start crafting their own agenda and making the most of the remaining term. Therefore, I will be resigning today as Southern Governor immediately following this post. Per our constitution, this will trigger a special election next weekend, allowing for the next Governor to assume office immediately on Monday (assuming a clear winner is determined).

I encourage those interested to declare for the position as soon as possible and look forward to a positive campaign. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your Governor!!! I will always love The South.

Signing off as Governor,

***hughughug Governor Tmthforu94

[tmthforu94]

Congratulations on the work you put into this election and for your time as Southern Governor, I look forward to the great things your administration will do!

Thank you! Always appreciate your support!

Planning big things for the future. Stay tuned!
