I support the re-election of Kris as chair.

However, I invite Hamborn to make their pitch as to why they should be chair.

Question : I post a resolution for the chair post ?

I support Erstavik’s nomination for Kris to remain as Chair. I see no reason to elect a different Chair at all, and I expect that most longtime legislators would agree with me on that front.

In formal resolution-ese:

I see your point of view but I think it is not an election if only 1 people present for election for the chair.

It’s not really an election in that sense. Instead, competing resolutions can be put to a vote, with the resolution receiving the most votes in favor prevailing (Legislative Procedure Act § 1(6)).

@Hamborn Give me an hour or so and I will draft a suitably flowery resolution on your behalf. I will, however, be voting for KrisKringle in this election, as experience as a legislator and familiarity with TSP law are essential qualities for an effective Chair.

That said, I would encourage @KrisKringle to consider appointing you as a Clerk, so that you may gain the experience necessary to assume the Chair someday in the future.

EDIT: resolution added.

I will abstain from voting on both until we get written confirmation that Kris Kringle would like to seek another term. If there is no written confirmation then I shall deem it necessary to elect a new chair.
