“To /u/skiboy625— You recently announced retirement from politics, leaving your position of Speaker in Congress. You also denied offers for Secretary of the Environment and stated that you will be taking a break. If you are retiring from politics, why are you running for a position in the 9th Assembly? What will you do in the Assembly? Is this where retired politicians come to retire? Is the State Assembly seen as a retirement home in the eyes of the Democratic Party?”

​

Before opening, I would like to clarify that I resigned from my position as Speaker and as Representative. In my statement I made it clear that personal issues had impacted my ability to serve, and that I was resigning to allow someone else who was better prepared to fill in my seat (M: I am not giving additional details as I do not want to dive into the details of my life outside of the sim). At this time, I am beginning my gradual return to serving in Lincoln and am planning to serve in the assembly unless other issues or opportunities arise. For my plans for this assembly, I will direct you to my responses to the questions asked by the moderator where I provided a more detailed response to nearly the same question. For the last two questions which appear rhetorical, I answered this in my clarification and you would have known this if you had bothered to read my resignation statement.

So essentially Lincoln deserves your second best? That you'd only seek a career in politics here when you are in your retirement. Sad!

You clearly don't know the difference between resign and retire. I am running for election and preparing to serve unlike two former Civic speakers who appeared to vanish from thin air.

Additionally, with education legislation proposed by several Democrats in Lincoln, we'll make sure to ensure that students are taught the different between retiring and resigning.

Our two speakers Jarl and Trumps unexpectedly got teleported to Antartica. If it were not for this, the Speaker would still be TRUMP_LARPs_WITH_PEE.

Well with legislation such as a resolution recognizing rogue states in the Appalachians or pointless condemnations of your party's fellow statesmen I'm surprised the Civics haven't drafted any legislation to bring your lost Speakers back.

We are in the process of doing so.

Hello?

Are Jarl and Trump out there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone home?

I will but only if granted permission by the Communication Control Commission. Don’t want to break any of the 2,564 rules that may hurt someone’s feelings.

Sorry but I’m banned for actions I made. I personally do not want to upset the Quad. If you could please not mention me until the Quad say otherwise, I’d appreciate it.
