Please vote Aye, it will be much easier to defeat the bill and renegotiate outside of the chamber.

If there is no objection, particularly given the lack of Representatives, I can close the vote in the House early to coincide with closing it in the Senate, in order to move forward on the budget process in the Senate.

NS Nation Name: Velahor
Character Name: Nicole T. Smith
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 36
Character Height: 5’7
Character Weight: 142
Character Position/Role/Job: Illinois Representative from the 7th District (Chicago)
Appearance: (Image)
Character State of Origin: Illinois
Character Party: Democrat
Main Strengths: strong ties into the black community, highly intelligent, great speaker
Main Weaknesses: Easily offended and emotionally hurt, which can lead to major political setbacks. Young and inexperienced. Party loyalist. Gets into Twitter battles too easily.

Biography: Nicole Tasha Smith was born to impoverished parents on the south side of Chicago in 1980. When she was 12, she witnessed the murder of her father due to gang violence, and vowed to honor his legacy by doing everything she could to prevent gang violence in Chicago. She got a full-ride scholarship to University of Chicago for her excellent academic work, and double majored in sociology and criminology. Her original intent was to become a crime scene investigator, but she gained an interest in politics in her last few years of college.

When she graduated, she became active in local political campaigns, canvassing for Democrats. In 2008, at age 27, she was chosen to manage a Democratic campaign for mayor of Chicago. In 2010, on the suggestion of many of her peers, she ran for state senate and won, representing the district she grew up in. In 2014 she ran for the House of Representatives for the Illinois 7th district, and won a close race for the Democratic primary, and then the general election by a landslide. In 2016, she supported Walton for president but remained a member of the Democratic Party.

Other Info: She leans very progressive in most aspects, but is a strong proponent of the death penalty.

Don't wanna annoy anyone, but I'd like someone to review this app. It would give us another democratic representative to RP with as well, as I know we don't have many.
