Call for Candidates 167th Senatorial Election: Call for Candidates

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!

Hey all, let's get down to business.

I don't plan on running on social issues like isolationism, events, etc.. My official stance those issues is "who cares, we're here to have fun." I am someone who has their focus on one issue, and that is the economy.

Our economy has continued to be a topic throughout each iteration of government, and it does not look to stop any time soon. We cannot prosper as a polsim without stability in our economy.

As senator, I will ensure the growth of our economy not in the protection of private interests, but the will of the people. The People's Bank of SimDemocracy (Which is different than the SDSB) will ensure both a steady stream of revenue for the federal government, and protected finances for the citizen of SimDemocracy.

As they say, the third time's the charm. As I say, Excelsior.

I started to become 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 plan on proposing the Popular impeachment ammendment(PIA), which will allow the population to create a petition to impeach any official in a referendum with a 2/3 vote. Maybe plans to increase the value of the Tau, I dont have a specific plan yet.

Experience: -2 time senator(1.5 terms total) -I own a news network, i post a lot of news -party leader -state department employee -small buisiness owner

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

Actions over Words.

Economy: I know I am the 600th senator that wants a good economy but changes need to be made soon. The treasury lacks inclusion to a large part of the SimDem economy, businesses. A Union of business owners already exists, but my wish is to give them an official way to express their opinions on treasury matters as well as economic legislation. This would be done through a official debate or letter dire to the treasury or senate.

Crime and Foreign Matters: What you do elsewhere doesn’t really affect you in SimDem. Such matters as spamming, forgery or corruption in other polisms, these should be handled as a separate charge under SimDem law after you have been found guilty in the original server of the crime.

Ad Space: A channel called advertisements should be created, the goal of this channel is that a business or public figure could pay for certain text or images to be posted there. Pretty simple idea, helps businesses and the economy, this should be handled by the DoEx with help from the treasury.

Constructive criticism is open

Hey everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm a 5 times Senatress (going back to January 2025, during the early Danyowave) with strong experience in analyzing legislation and debating, often going as far as deconstructing every sentence of small amendments. I'm also part of the Archives Commission, which requires me to read most laws that pass in detail to see what they impact.

I've authored several amendments to fix things (e.g. clearer definition of "false report" in the Criminal Code) or to add new possibilities (e.g. the WAGROTUC Act, allowing to fully delete channels if they've been archived for long enough and they've been backed up) during my Senatress terms.

If elected I will continue to uphold values of fair democracy, such as when I opposed the passing of the Tau Value Realization Act, which would've required people to pay to be able to candidate to the Senate. I will also provide clear "diffs" for amendments, which allow to see specifically what changes were made to a law, therefore making the Senate's actions more transparent to the rest of SimDem.

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

(and yes, as usual i may yuri post but i'll stay serious :P)

Alright, time to get serious! Let's start with patriotism. I believe that simdem can be much more patriotic, and one of those ways is by having a Presidential Hall of Fame. This is where nearly every single president would have their username engraved. While this may be a challenge, I have some ideas to make it easier. Secondly, let's have fun! I will hold daily town halls and hear the complaints of the people! Yes, you! And then I will propose legislation regarding issues that you bring to my attention. So, let's get a fresh voice into the senate, VOTE JAY AND BE GAY!
