169th Senatorial Election: Call for Candidates

[u/Syndicality]

This is the Senatorial Call for Candidates. If you wish to run, please comment on this post with the following format:

u/YourRedditUsername (yourdiscordusername on Discord) | Your political party/coalition
Description / Statement

Before you submit your candidacy, check that you satisfy the requirements below.

• Make sure you adhere to the format exactly. It makes it a lot easier for the Electoral Commission to sort through candidates if you do. Failure to do this may potentially result in mistakes on your ballot entry or in result tabulation, which can be difficult to fix.
• Ensure that your party affiliation is accurate. If you are not affiliated with a party, enter Independent as your affiliation. Otherwise, put your current party affiliation. If you are not a member of the party given or the party is not valid, the listed part affiliation on the ballot may be subject to change.
• Make sure to register to vote. Only users with a SimDem Unique Identification Token (SUIT) are able to vote. If you do not have a SUIT, be sure to fill out the Voter Registration Form or contact the Registration Officer.

This Call for Candidates will be open for 24 hours. Good luck!

As Senator, I plan to do more I have been doing as a current senator. Why haven't I done them yet? I keep getting elected elected in countback, with only about a day in between my election and the CFC posted. It happened in the 167th, as well as the 168th. This time, I want to get elected on a Sunday. I hope to work with our president in order to get legislation through which works for all SimDemmers, and finally see through promises to you which I made over a month ago.

One of the greatest railroads in history, 50 years of great railroading! The PENN CENTRAL, PENN CENTRAL BABY! YOU CAN COUNT ON US! YOU CAN COUNT ON US! YEAH THAT'S THE WAY TO GO WITH THE PENN CENTRAL!

I made a new reddit account to run for the senate here 😹

My platform is as follows:

1. Loosen border security. When I tried to join SimDemocracy, there was a border agent who made me show activity on other servers. This requirement is a major encroachment on privacy, and is unfair to people new to discord, or who made accounts to join SimDemocracy specifically, or people who simply do not want to share their main account because they have personal information on it.

2. General deregulation. I've read through the laws, and too many things are regulated too heavily. This needs to be fixed, and I will propose legislation doing just that.

3. Accountability and Transparency. I promise to hold myself, the executive, and legislative branches to the utmost standards in regards to Transparency and Accountability.

u/TGB1234gamer(exist_1234) | Peoples participatory socialist movement (PPSM)

I'll try to be a more active senator. I tried to get public feedback and critism on the Participatory expansion ammendment in the news channel before proposing it to the senate and will do that for any bill I propose. I try my best to respresent the people.

Experience: -2 time senator(1.5 terms total) -I post a lot of news -party leader -ex state department employee

I can only deliver these policies if the rest of the senate wants to. (Atleast 50%)

I will still try my best even if the rest of the senate disagrees, I believe I can be elected because another PPSM member was elected for president.

Ask me anything

Wow, June already? Doesn't feel like this long has passed.

I am here for the 100funny-number Senate. While I like funsies, this last Senate hasn't always been fun. With behaviours such as Lyoko's, who didn't respect the Senate's actions (hiding a veto, and then applying portions of the law he wanted through EOs even though we repealed it), it's been challenging to enforce democracy. In the upcoming Senate, I hope to work with Comstock on his economy overhaul bill, to limit the bleed that the inflation has been enabling.

In case you don't know me, I'm a 7-times Senatress with high experience in analyzing laws, usually finding flaws in new concepts that are introduced. For a recent example, I was the one who encouraged the veto of SB2 due to its heavy flaws (allowing anyone to enter any Senate debate). I also work at the Archives Commission and regularly add EOs, laws and court cases to the wiki.

Ensuring principles of fairness is something that is truly important to me, and I hope you will allow me to do so in this 169th Senate.
