Senate Races taking shape

Nyman D.C.

The five February races for the Senate are taking shape with the Midwest having three candidates seeking office already. The February elections will elect Senators from the Regions.

In the Mideast, MasterJedi is presently running unopposed, however, rumours of a prominent liberal candidate enterring the race abound. Whilst the candidate has not yet allowed his name to see the light of day, it has been indicated that an announcement will be forthcoming after the resolution of the Mideast Gubernatorial elections this coming weekend.

The Midwest is faced with three choices: Ernest, Everett and Lewis Trondheim. Ernest is running under the banner of his Rally for the Republic Party, and is a sitting Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. He has tried to carve a niche for himself as a pragmatic centrist candidate. Everett is officially running as a Christian Democrat despite the fact that she's not a christian democrat at all, and is in fact a libertarian. Nonetheless, polling shows her leading by a comfortable margain. Lewis Trondheim, a former Senator for this seat, is also running for election, though in a Region with strong libertarian influences, is unlikely to make too much of a dent on the race. Incumbent DanielX is foregoing running for re-election to run for President.

The Northeast campaign has not seen much campaigning action, however former Senator Flyers has declared his candidacy for the seat against the incumbent Colin Wixted. Wixted has made no mention of whether or not he will seek re-election.

The Pacific campaign is doing even worse: it has no candidates. With Hughento stating that he would not seek re-election last week, new candidates will be required. Possible candidates include Jesus, a frequent candidate for various offices or Wildcard, the former Governor.

The Southeast sees sitting Secretary of Forum Affairs Q face off against incumbent Jake. According to sources close to the Observer, Q has already gained pledges of votes from at least half of the Southeast's citizens, and this is borne out by polling.
