For those that are on the fence about whether they want to throw their hat in the ring or not:

• You probably enjoy more support than you think
  
• An election campaign is a great opportunity to get both your name and your ideas out there
  
• There's no shame in losing! Even regional stalwarts (myself included) have lost an election here or there.
  
• It's fun!
  

So, if you know you have the chops and have the time in the next 4 months, I do encourage you to declare your candidacy.

---

That being said - thank you for the nominations, but I will not seek election for any office unless that office is RON'd.

In turn, I nominate:
PM: Amerion, Nakari
MoFA: Omega, Qaz
MoRA: Seraph, Penguin
MoMA: Warrior/South Asians, phoenixofthesun14
