I am announcing my candidacy for the Senate as your representative from the great (but laid-back) province of Maricopa in the 43rd-47th Cosas.
I am not an elitist politician, but a true man of the people, and as such choose to run by my nickname, RUMP. The use of ALL CAPS is encouraged, as it will send a clear message to the rest of the world that despite our well-known reputation for being the most laid-back province in Talossa, we are capable of rising to the occasion when the occasion calls for it.
(Parenthesis are optional.)
I look forward to this opportunity to serve His Majesty and all his loyal subjects from this great province!
God Save the King, God bless Talossa.

I'm Doug "Rump" Earnest, and I approved this announcement.

After much reflection and soul-searching, I have decided to terminate my candidacy for the Senate, and throw my support and that of my followers to the incumbant, Sir Iusti Canun, who has served this province and the Kingdom so well thus far, and devote my time to other matters.
Thank you for the support you all have given to me. To have 50% of the vote at this late date in the election is proof that the values I hold dear are shared by a great many of my fellow Maricopans, and I will continue to work toward implementing these, OUR goals, in such as way as to make Talossa even greater than it already is.
I wish good luck and God speed to my friend and worthy opponant.
God Save the King, God bless Talossa.

If you don't mind a Florencian commenting on your local politics, I simply have to say that it was a good run.

I'm pleased and honored my first foray into Talossan politics went so well. I notice there are rather significant write-in campaigns for me in the other provinces as well. Thankfully, I don't seem to be in the lead in any of these contests, even though one seems awfully close to a run-off. Since I didn't actually announce my official candidacy in these other races, I'm not sure how to opt out. Maybe just give the old "if nominated, I will not run ... if elected, I will not serve" speech? |

Well, since I myself voted for you in the Florencian Senate seat, I can't very well say that I would be happy if you walked away, but, well, I suppose I understand. After such a dramatic debut, who am I to question your decision to play the elder statesman? You have definitely earned the right with your long and lauded service to the Kingdom as a candidate with proven nationwide appeal.
