Victory Speech in Metarie, La.
June 21, 2021
Hello Metarie!
We did it, y'all!
Normally, we would be holding our victory rally back in Dallas, but y'all have been so welcoming, I couldn't help but stay longer in this great state!
Before I get started, I want to thank everyone who played a part in this campaign. From DA leadership to those of you who signed up yesterday to distribute flyers, you are a valued member of our team and played a part in helping us cross the line last night. With your help, we have become the first centrist party in post-reset history to win two seats on the national ballot!
Y'all -- this past election has been unlike any other. With the help of our good friend Tarrance and all of you fine Louisianians, we have turned the tide against Labor and delivered a tied Senate!
And this time for change environment won't simply go away now. Y'all want to take it even further -- and Tarrance will do just that! Not only will he repeal Boisseau's Betrayal and make the lives of working-class Louisianians easier, but he also will fight for every citizen of the Pelican State and ensure
your voices are heard!
As for me, my time in Congress will commence again. As I did three years ago, I will continue to fight for the people and ensure your voices are heard. I will sponsor the voices of the people and fight for bold change to a system that desperately needs it. I will not be beholden to party machines but instead be beholden to your voice. And, most importantly, I will fight to bring back activity to this great country!
There are several pressing matters that must be taken care of when Weatherboy and I swear in to the new Senate. First, a new rules package must be passed. I hope to see bipartisan (or is it quintipartisan?) dialogue over the coming days and weeks between all of our eighteen members so that we can agree to a rules package that ensures the good functioning of government in the interests of the people. Additionally, the matter of leadership in the new chamber should be established next. I will not be running for President pro tempore of the new Senate, as I believe that my time would be more efficiently spent getting out to the heartlands of Atlasia, hearing your voices, and campaigning for our great DA candidates up and down the ballot. However, as I stated in my campaign, I ran to serve in the new Senate to enact change, set precedents, and lead with an example of activity.
As such, I would like to state my availability to serve as a deputy to the chair in the new Senate. I believe that my standards of activity set during my roles as Speaker of the Lincoln Assembly, Deputy Speaker of the House, and House Minority Leader all serve as examples of the standard I hope to lead no matter my role in the new chamber.
Finally, I will be opening a new office soon. I want the people to know that my office will always be open to hear your views, concerns, and/or proposals. I was elected by you to serve in this great chamber, and I am beholden to you for my mandate.
For now, I will be signing off. But soon, we will get started on enacting the change that I laid out in my platform during this election.
Thank you Louisiana, the South, and the nation, for entrusting me with this mandate. Let's get to work.
God bless Atlasia!
