@matthewyoung123 @ebrk85 @ShortKing @lm1145 

Seeing some different batches of nominees (specifically House Maj Whip) I would ask all 4 of you to give this post a "like" to confirm this as your leadership team:

 

Fiorella La Guardia for Speaker @ebrk85
John Q Tilson for House Maj Ldr @matthewyoung123
Wallace H. White Jr. for House Maj Whip @lm1145

Felix Hebert for Sen Maj Ldr @matthewyoung123
Hiram Johnson for Sen Maj Whip @ShortKing

If I don't see all four of your "likes" by 9:30pm, I'll assume the slate is not approved and attempt to run votes.

While we wait on the Blue Team Senate Minority Leader Race, lets go ahead and allow House Committees to be set up - actions to @ebrk85 for House Committee chairs and Red Members and @Umbrella for House Ranking Member and Blue members.  You will have until tomorrow, 3pm Eastern.

Also, for all play testers, I appreciate anyone who will help me keep the "history" tab up to date.

Hmm, a lot has happened since I logged on.  As I mentioned before, Carl Hayden is my guy, and I was willing to drop out of the house races to gain support for Hayden.  However, since every other race has been decided, I'm willing to offer ranking member positions or other committee recommendations in exchange for support.  @MrPotatoTed @Largo833 @jnewt do any of you want to accept this offer?

Changed from committee chair to ranking member.

Burton Wheeler won't partake in a quid pro quo, but is excited the serve as Ranking Member on the Domestic Committee based solely on his own merit.

 

On an unrelated note, we'll endorse Hayden for Leader!

[Umbrella]

@10centjimmy That should be enough, right?  If so, Carl Hayden has an uncanny ability to recognize up-and-coming talent in the Senate, and realizes that Burton Wheeler has all of the skills necessary to serve as ranking member of the domestic committee.

I'll get the rest of the members and committee members later tonight.  If any of the blue team has any suggestions or requests, please message me.

This will work, I'll roll for gains shortly. 

[10centjimmy]

@Umbrella Carl Hayden elected Senate Minority Leader, Hayden gains propogandist and debater. @Umbrella gains 250 points.

In addition to house members/ranking members, @Umbrella gets to assign Senate ranking members and blue members.

Also action to @matthewyoung123 to assign Senate Committee chairs and Red members. Y'all have until tomorrow at 7:30pm eastern to finalize the committees.

Thank you!

I'll go in and plug chair gains and member experience gains shortly.

Action for @ShortKing @ebrk85 @matthewyoung123 and @lm1145, please include the relevant committee (and if your pol is chair, state "House ** chair") in columns EA and EB under your faction tab. If your pol is not chair, leave EB blank.
