We Want PBrunsel for Senate! Best of luck to all the candidates though. (Thank you JFK for posting the candidates. I've been wondering who the D would be.)
Phil, you cannot honestly tell me you did not know I was a candidate. My name is even mentioned in a post you quoted where you asked that question:
I wish PBrunsel well and give him my support! Fritz is also a good guy, so here's to a clean campaign!
Not that I get to vote in it or anything... 
THanks WMS, you are a good guy too.
Pity I can't vote in this one, but I hope to see you in the Senate - I think you'd do well there. 
Agreed. I think PBrunsel will make it to the Senate but who is running against him?
I had also posted several times in PBrunsel's thread, before you asked this question, and my candidacy had been referred to. By the way, here is my own
Announcement of candidacy thread.
John F Kennedy:
Turning to the crisis at hand, we need to have a special election in district 3. I would imagine the 2 other candidates in this race share my frustration in not knowing when this election will take place. Traditionally, the Secretary of Forum Affairs conducts elections. But I can find no constitutional requirement that this be the case. I am wondering if perhaps the Supreme Court, or the Vice-President, can take charge of this matter, in the absence of both the President and a cabinet.
Per the constitution: "If any district Senate seat becomes vacant, a special election shall be held within one week to fill in the vacancy." Senator Texasgurl officially resigned July 4, the constitution therefore mandates the election be held no later than this Sunday, July 11. I am not advocating that this actually be the time frame. At this point in time, I feel it would be unfair both to the candidates and to the voters to hold an election on such short notice.
I call upon the Supreme Court to rule upon how to handle this situation.
Thank You,
Fritz
Yes, the constitution does indicate the election be held this weekend. But as you have pointed out, there is no one to administer the election. It will be wholly unfair, both to the candidates and the voters, to attempt to hold the election this weekend with no prior notice. PBrunsel and I had discussed having a debate, and we both agreed to hold off until we knew when the election would be held. This is why I have asked the Court to decide when the election will be held, and who will administer it.
