We did it! This wasn't just a win for ya boy -- it was one of the largest Labor landslides in the history of Frémont! What a night! Thanks to everyone who got me here by supporting my campaign.

This, however, is only the beginning. Our region faces an enormous task: saving our citizens from a deadly pandemic while working to stave off the worst consequences of the coming recession. I have the utmost confidence that the new Parliament, particularly my friends FM Truman and Speaker OBD, are prepared for the challenge. I'm currently preparing some legislation to address these issues, which should be ready for introduction on the day I take office. Working together, we can come out of this catastrophe a better place to live.

It's crazy times we're living in, jack. Excited to make the most of it.

Solidarity forever!

Quote from: MB on May 29, 2020, 02:52:42 AM
Quote
16. No Atlasian should be forced to live on the streets because they can't afford housing. The government must act to curb rising rents and prevent gentrification.

26. The American government's military aggression against Iraq and use of torture on prisoners of war, prior to the establishment of the Republic of Atlasia, were crimes against humanity. Former U.S. President George W. Bush, and any Atlasians responsible for the atrocities committed during these conflicts, must be criminally prosecuted.

28. Atlasia is not the world's policeman, and our military spending should be drastically reduced. The presence of Atlasia's armed forces abroad, except where absolutely necessary, should be eliminated.

Very pleased that all planks I introduced were voted into the Labor Platform! As you can see, there were three -- a broad affordable housing plank, a more specific plank calling for the prosecution of war criminals, and a broader antiwar plank. It's going to take effort to get these done -- a convention of your own party is easier to win over than Congress -- but there are plenty of people in this game who will put in the work to make it happen.

I've already introduced one piece of legislation -- the Frémont Fair Districts Act --  and I have some more spicy stuff in the pipeline! Onward and upward!

Wow. I honestly wasn't expecting to even run for House until this weekend, but here we are! What a trip.

Thank you to the fabulous folks at Labor who helped get me elected -- and congrats to all the fabulous Labor candidates who came out on top. Also, thank you to HCP -- it was to lose my first election as a declared candidate alongside you. Unfortunately, he has blocked me on Discord over my move back to Labor, but I trust that we'll patch things up eventually.

Some things:
 - I didn't expect that I would be leaving the HoC so soon! So, I'll dump some bills tomorrow to fulfill the rest of my campaign promises + take care of some other things OBD/Truman and I have talked about.
 - My first priority when I get to Congress will be to secure a phat bailout for the regions, whose budgets are going to fall apart without federal relief. I will also introduce legislation to improve labor rights, reduce economic and racial inequality, and help out our troubled healthcare system. Stay tuned!

Thanks for giving me another crack at Congress. Can't wait to get to work.

Okay, serious statement time: it'll be the honor of my career to serve you guys as VP, and I can't wait to start. Congrats to Pres.-elect MB, who will do a fantastic job, as well as to Ninja and LT, who ran the strongest Presidential campaign by the non-Labor folks in quite a while.

Nothing's final yet, but there are a number of qualified people who may end up filling my vacant seat. In the meantime, I'll continue to do my job and try to clean things up in the Senate before the end of the term.

Looking forward to getting to work for everyone.

Statement on Transition of Power in Paflagonia
December 1st, 2020

Tonight, President MB recognized Gerta Baer as the legitimate leader of Paflagonia. I would like to extend my personal congratulations to Mrs. Baer, and my full support to her new goverment. In an era where democratic backsliding is increasingly pervasive, it is wonderful to see that some countries are moving in the right direction.

I urge Adolf Von Kummerspeck to cease his current shenanigans immediately, and I believe any nation supporting his current half-baked attempt at a coup should face immediate consequences. For the good of the Paflagonian people, it is time for Mr. Von Kummerspeck and his allies to sashay away.

Statement on Events in Kansas
December 1st, 2020

I am deeply disturbed by the recent attempt on the life of Kansas Governor James Benson last week. We are all fortunate that the men and women of the FBI stopped this terroristic attack in its tracks.

Violence is never an acceptable way to settle political scores. I hope that all sides of the Kansas debate take this as an opportunity for reflection, and approach the issue with a newfound consideration for how powerful the words of public figures truly are.

I send my well wishes to the Governor and his family.

Two months as VP down, two to go! I'm pretty happy with the job I've done so far -- by no means perfect, but for the most part the noticeboard has stayed updated and the threads have stayed moving. Thanks, as always, to Cao and Yankee for being there to pick up the slack when I miss things.

Thought I would open the floor to questions, comments, concerns, criticisms, insults, etc. If there's something I could be doing better, I want to know.

Hi folks. Bumping this thread for a very non-special reason -- updated the noticeboard after falling behind for a few days, and wanted to open my PMs in case I've missed things. No presh. Hope you all are doing well.
