  1. I’ve been interested in getting more involved in the region for a while and lately I’ve actually had the motivation and energy to do so. I also think legislation is one of the most important parts of how a region is run and I would like to have my voice heard in the legislative process and work with other people to make TEP a better region.
  2. I am the Khan of LWU, but I am also a citizen of TEP and I take any oaths I’ve made to TEP seriously. I am able to consider whether or not something is beneficial to TEP and the regional interest even if it may not be the “raider” thing to do or support. I believe I have been able to successfully balance conflicting interests such as this in the past and will continue to do so. I would also be willing to abstain on anything directly related to LWU, since that would obviously be a very significant conflict of interest.
  3. My prior commitments are no doubt a lot of work but I’ve been able to balance being an R/D org commander along with participating in other regions. For a good portion of my time as a higher ranking member of LWU before I became Khan I was the Speaker(a position similar to provost) of TRR.
  4. I do not have any plans for legislation or any opinions on major discussions right now.
  5. When voting on legislation I will mainly consider whether or not it will make a positive change with regards to the governance of TEP, if the piece of legislation is necessary, and if it’s clearly written. I believe that it’s important that the law be clear and easy to interpret for our citizens and any future legislators.
