Magic_Terminator (D)
Candidates, You are allowed to comment speeches and whatnot below.
Citizens, you are allowed to ask candidates questions.
Below are the basics of what each candidate believes in and plans to do. If you reside in Cayman, Golden Oaks, or any island, your vote will be counted, however it is strongly encouraged that Runnerboro residents vote. It is also important to keep in mind that this election has the potential to effect the world as a whole no matter where you reside. Below is a creed that would define Federalizing Runnerboro. This bill will have to be signed by the Mayor in order to pass, or overthrown by a political majority.
How voting works: Voting is in a similar electoral fashion but not quite.
If you live in Runnerboro, your vote will count as 2. If you live anywhere else, your vote will count as 1 emphasizing once again, a method similar to the electoral college of the United States, but not quite.

Name: Ach3rous
Political Party: Non-Partisan
Gender: Male
Time on server at time of application: "About 4 weeks at this point, with almost 3 days ingame time."
Reason for choosing Representative:
Runnersboro is a very interesting community, and it is great to see what they have been working on. I wish to start small within the community and it's government, with the position of representative. Representative is a stepping stone for those who are getting into politics, and for someone such as I suddenly coming onto the scene, I believe it would be great.
What do you plan to do for this community?
I plan to do what everyone promises, which is to improve it. I have many ideas to bring players together within and outside the community, to bring a bigger sense of organization and player involvement. I have ideas for events, and ways to bring more communication and attention to the community.
What makes you better than other candidates?
Leadership skills. I have over 200 hours in volunteer service, being a den chief within a local cub scout pack. Every Tuesday I help run meetings, organize events, and control the behavior of the children. In Boy Scouts, leadership is everything. Few individuals step up to lead, with me being one of them. I have been Senior Patrol Leader twice (Boy leader in the troop), along with being a member of the Order of the Arrow, a prestigious Boy Scout honor society. To join, one must obtain votes from two-thirds of the troop, and pass an ordeal, a test to see if they are fit to join. From there they do events within the community. The leaderships I have acquired from this and experience within my community makes me stand out within this community.
Candidate Speech (New!):
Greetings, citizens of Runnersboro. Time has come for another election, and I am partaking in such. In this day and age, the government has need of headstrong representatives, one who will cast aside their will for the will of the people. Running as a non-partisan, I plan to follow that statement fully. As a non-partisan, one must accept both sides of the ballot. To split the line between the two parties down the middle, picking the best and worst of both fronts to create a perfect balance for the society. I believe fully in these ideals, that neither party is correct or wrong. On one side of the ballot, you have the Democratic's. They are on the left-wing of the political spectrum, who believe in more government involvement, and more accepting viewpoints on matters such as immigration, and civil rights. On the other lay the Republicans. The Republicans believe in less government involvement, and more control by each individual, promoting the right to bear arms and having a more conservative mindset. But is either 'right'? I do not believe so. In the eye of the people, there is no right or wrong to define every single person's beliefs. It is near impossible to create a plan to represent everyone fully. I know I cannot do the impossible, but I can make what is a possible reality. Being a non-partisan representative, I plan to fully utilize what I- No, not I. What the people think is best. Representing them fully in this community, we shall obtain as close to perfect as we can. I have many ideas regarding the future welfare of this community. Ideas such as events to gather attention and support for the community, and ideas to help promote a fully functioning economy within. When issues are on the table, I will contribute ideas that draw the line right down the middle. I just need your trust. In order for me to fully represent the communities ideas, wills, and beliefs, I need the community right there behind me. So I ask for your vote, citizens of Runnersboro. A vote to get me elected, but a vote that means much more. A vote regarding the hope of the future, and the reality of the present. Each vote is a step towards as close to a perfect balance as we can. On the scale of the judicial system, if just one weight is placed on the wrong side, the scale will tip that direction. But in the emblem itself, the scale is balanced. As it should be. Reliqua libertas vera aequalitas. Balance is freedom, and balance is truth.
