September Special Election | Delegate Candidacies

Hello. I would like to announce my intention to run for Delegate. I ran for this position a month ago against Great Alemonia, in an election where I faced defeat. This defeat, while difficult at first to overcome, taught me several things. First, it taught me how to better represent myself to the people and voters at large of this region. Second, it made me better aware of the various oppositional concerns that have come against me and my years as a public servant in this region, and how to better respond to them. Third, it taught me that one attempt at winning such an important election cannot and should not be enough for trying to induce change in the region you love. Because I ran for this position less than a month ago I will keep this address short, as my platform, views towards the position of Delegate, future plans, and others have not changed. However, here is a small part of it. In my various offices, I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and beliefs, and it worked extremely well. I see no reason why this can't happen if I am elected Delegate. Not only have I served as the Minister of Immigration and Foreign Affairs for this region, but I have served as the Moff of Recruitment for The Galactic Order. It is because I know how these two ministries work and how they should be run which will help me in guiding the Ministers during times of difficulty and, above all, understanding the many difficulties that come with being a government Minister. My knowledge of our regional laws is growing, and I am willing to learn more about how our legal system works, from basic court cases to constitutional issues. And my experience in negotiating our region's admission into the ILC allowed me to get my first glimpse into the office of the Delegate. Working on a diverse team, taking on administrative duties, mediating conflicts, and being level-headed during times of controversy are some of the many things that I have learned while serving or being around regional politics. But again, I am not nor will I ever be a perfect politician. If I make a mistake, I will not cower nor hide behind others, but I will face the problem head-on. I will accept the responsibility for my actions, and seek to fix the problem. I obviously hope that this does not happen during my tenure as Delegate, but if it does, I will remain a strong figure representing my community. On the subject, I have been in The Versutian Federation since 2012, gotten to know so many different and wonderful people, and have had the privilege of being a public servant. When I left the region, I returned. This is a community that has been a part of my life for so long, that I couldn't bear to part with it, and that is the God's honest truth. During my tenure, I will make sure that every WA vote is discussed among our community members, more dialogue takes place in the ILC (much needed dialogue to bring it out of inactivity), every government Minister knows what they are doing and remains effective as well professional, and above all, representing our region in a positive fashion to the rest of the NS world. Because of recent events (mainly involving DSA) it is extremely important that we remain close with this region regardless of disagreements that a few individuals have made with their community members. Rebuilding our relationship and nurturing positive growth is the future. I thank you all for reading this platform and for the opportunity to run for this prestigious position. I hope that this second chance at fulfilling this must-needed position will prove fruitful for not only myself, but for our entire community. Long Live the Versutian Federation!
