So uhhh.... I had to step away from Nationstates for a while for school related stuff, and I'm back, so could I return and continue with my two characters Edmond Dantes - Immigration Attorney and US Ambassador to the Russian Federation Oliver Cromwell from long (and I mean long) ago, or would you like me to submit new ones?

[Imperial Esplanade]

Democratic Candidates Wanted
In rough order of importance

Virginia Governor Race
New Mexico Governor Race
Maryland Governor Race
Nevada Governor Race
Rhode Island Governor Race
Massachusetts Governor Race
New York Governor Race
Texas Governor Race

Wisconsin Senate Race
Connecticut Senate Race
Nevada Senate Race
Texas Senator Race

Being that I am lacking in the Democratic character category, I will gladly app for one of these.

[Imperial Esplanade]

I've noticed the following pertaining to my characters:

- Phillip Prejean, Louisiana Republican Senator, is not listed.
- Melvin Freeman, Massachusetts Progressive Representative, is not listed.
- Louis Reynolds IV, an Independent, is actually listed as a Democrat. He will also be the majority owner of the New England Media Corporation soon, thus may be wise to list him as a non-politician.
- Gianna Carrollton, now an Independent as well, is still listed as a Democrat. Assuming she won't be offered a position anywhere, she will become a professor at Georgetown University.

And of others:

- Emma Bellefontaine, Republican Secretary of the Treasury, is not listed.
- Jeremy Beaumont, Democratic Secretary of Commerce, is not listed.
- Donald Overstein, Democratic Secretary of Veteran Affairs, is not listed.
- Representative William Brennan, Republican Representative of Connecticut, is not listed.

Welcome back. Both characters should still be usable, I do not believe anything significant has happened with them, though Dantes is in the process of being replaced. If you wish to apply as another character in addition, however, feel free to do so.

[Imperial Esplanade]

While I don't think it is all that necessary to do so, I ought to provide the insight that Reynolds is, of course, being overly-optimistic in his assessment. On that note, an app of sorts will be submitted soon as it pertains to NEMG itself.

[Sanabel]

New England Media Corporation should be based in New England

Character Information Sheet

NS Nation Name: Meelducan
Character Name: Arthur Arlen
Character Gender: M
Character Age: 64
Character Height: 5’6”
Character Weight: 167 lbs
Character Position/Role/Job: Mayor of Norfolk
Appearance:

Character State of Origin: Virginia
Character State of Residence: Virginia
Character Party Affiliation: Democrat
Main Strengths: Children’s Doctor, Name recognition, favorite of environmental groups and successful outreach programs to youth and education “ending the school to prison pipeline and building a school to work pipeline”
Main Weaknesses: Mixed financial record, prioritized environment at detriment to farmers,
Biography:

Arthur Arlen was born to a single teen mother in Richmond, she would work 2 jobs to be able to raise Arthur and provide for them. Despite a few minor run-ins with the law, he would graduate high school second in his class and go on to college and eventually medical school. Eventually, he would work as a doctor in Norfolk for several years until opening a pediatric practice of his own.
Upon seeing the plight of the many of the children and families and their inability to afford healthcare he began looking into healthcare policy. He began joining boards and advising government officials on health policy. Eventually, he joined the Norfolk city council serving for the better part of a decade. Originally planning to run for mayor, he was rebuffed by his fellow Democrats and told to wait his turn. Instead, he would leave the council somewhat jaded and run for state senate for the 5th district representing Norfolk and Chesapeake serving for two terms.
As Senator he would advocate for Norfolk strongly, protecting the Chesapeake Bay and most notably a number of healthcare plans and aid to the poor. He would also be a champion of LGBTQ rights a woman’s right to choose and infrastructure spending.
Running for mayor he would win a solid victory after securing the Democratic nomination. His term would be mostly uneventful, playing defense for liberal causes and working to aid the poor especially single mothers and their children. His youth engagement programs would once again take center stage with his healthcare policies a constant presence but much harder to get through. Throughout his term his city was stagnant financially, unemployment got slightly worse and small businesses began suffering. Overall his term was good environmentally, with the Chesapeake Bay rebounding and improving greatly under his leadership and coordination with other officials. In short socially and environmentally Arlen did well but financially he was much less successful.
When the call for Confederate monuments to be removed started to happen, Arlen was the first government official to petition to take down the monuments. This landed him a great deal of name recognition throughout the state and nationally, often interviewed on talk shows around the nation. This combined with his solid democratic record gives him the platform to run on for governor.

Why Alphonsey

Why Alphonsey

Its part of a general strategy with the progs

The chances of Alphonsey supporting the Democrats are very low

New England Media Corporation should be based in New England

It was, originally, though more of its transition (and story) will be revealed later. I had run into writer's block, so this post was kept a bit short.
