First of all, I thank you for the opportunity to stand before you all today. I have great respect for all of you, no matter the ideology.
1. To answer your first question, I believe the role of the Lt. Governor is to provide support for the Governor and their administration. I am to step into his role if incapacitated and to provide counsel and ideas as to Court and Senate Nominees. I believe he also can provide amendments to the Constitution and bills to the assembly.
2. I don't believe he position deserves anymore power. In fact, it might have too much with regards to appointments and be like.

To Assemblyman ZuWo, I had been a silent participant in Mideastern affairs since my joining in July 2012. I decided to dip my toes into a political career in January, but as you can all see from my standing here before you, lost. But that run opened my eyes to what goes on among our leaders and the process. It also furthered my want to be a part of it and do some good for the region. There are many more people more qualified than I for the job, as there will always be, but none of them possess the drive and determination to actually DO it, as I do.

And to answer your followed Mr. Speaker, I do not currently plan on modifying the office. But am open to tweaking the power I wield in making joint appointments.

What makes you the person to reach across the aisle to all Mideasterners, from progressive Laborites to conservative Federalists, as Governor Tmthforu94 has?
I've always been one to avoid extremes, both in my ideological views and my causes. Mideasterners gain nothing from proposing legislation that no one can agree on. I've always been for common-sense and bipartisan solutions. I ran my campaign on it and will promote it in office.

How will you and Governor Tmth make decisions on regional appointments?  In other words, what criteria would you use to determine who is nominated for a position?
Activity for one. How long has the appointee been active in the game and attentive to what's going on. Personality, also. Can they get along with people and us. And ideology to a lesser extent.

And how long should someone be around before they'd be eligible for an appointment from you?
For me, I'd say at least voting for 2-3 months.

What would be your opinion on giving the Lt. Governor responsibilities that a state's Attorney General or Secretary of State would have? 
It depends on the powers. Could you provide examples?
