Kyle321N, Speaker of the House, Congressman, NP
PrincessMedyPi, Congresswoman, Vice President, UIP PP

*****A CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION PODCAST WAS DONE LISTEN TO IT HERE!!!****
Alabama
Richard Brophy, UIP
This Alabama congressman brought a new voice to the floor in February. After showing up slightly green his first term, this senator has grown immensely and is constantly bringing opposition to a congress that often has likemindedness. He is one of the most active congressional members and makes congress much more grounded. His goal was to prove the council wrong, and he did that. Congrats Richard, I now have egg on my face (I love eggs...)
Other Candidates: Princess84, The Cheezeburgerler, Jeff Moon
Alaska
Justinious, UIP
This is a man who needs little introduction. He is most famous for serving as President of the eUSA in the month of January. Recently he has become a thorn in the side of congress, and we feel that his qualifications and outspoken nature will provide the fuel congress needs to actively pursue change in the eUSA.
Other Candidates: R. Brady Kuenning, ghvandyk, Dgrad
Arizona
istarlan, UIP
She was the leader of the National Guard's Second Division for over 4 months before recently being promoted to General of the NG. She showed patience and a caring nature while working with the newest members of our Armed service. She is a lady of the people, and she works the streets to get them what they need. She deserves this as much as she's earned it.
Other Candidates: Dmalicious, Sir Valaro Volcrum
Arkansas
Killing Time, UIP
This once shy ex-congressman is becoming more and more outspoken in his views on contemporary eUS society. He is the man who saved eAmerica's butt when he housed the new forums and has been a man on a mission to improve the nation ever since. His levelheadedness and quest for efficiency will make him a perfect member to shine in the new committee system.
Other candidates: Erik Victor, Astron
California
AidenAstrup, USWP
Aiden is the longtime Congressman from California. He represents his state dilligently and is one of the most active voices in Congress. He is also a leading government official and a leader in the USWP. He deserves your continued support.
Other candidates: gwizz1993, Weasle, BlueBob88dotcom, 09mateusz
Colorado
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates: Josh Frost, Dylan Hunt, Kooros, spazzers, Spinoza
Connecticut
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress. Equality is active, but seems to get into unnecessary battles with other congressmen, and the council in good faith can not endorse him fully.
Other Candidates: Equality 7-2521, neville chamberlain, Evry
Delaware
ClammyJim, AAP
ClammyJim is a great fellow that will be a fresh face to Congress. He has already proved through his activity on the irc and in the game to be a intelligent, on top of things, and persuasive. Though (as rarely is true) many of the candidates are capable of being a good congressman in this state, we confidently and wholeheartedly recommend ClammyJim as the best and brightest of the bunch in Delaware to get things done right.
Other Candidates: Cior, Toni Ceasar, Hari Michaelson, Chrapek
District of Columbia
ProggyPop, USWP
Former Speaker of the House and Current Party President of the largest party in the world, he's one of the leaders against corruption in the government. As a member of the Government Oversight committee he'll continue his charge against poor decision making, terrible spending choices, and the all around tomfoolery that congress has fallen under the past few months.
Other Candidates: Jonathan Daniel Lewis, Dr. Mack
Florida
Ananias, USWP
Ananias is a former Congressional representative from Oregon and a leading economics voice. He is one of the smartest voices in this country on a variety of issues as well as a leading speaker in the media. Ananias is a welcome addition to Congress.
Other Candidates: johngalt42, Acestriker1, travdog, Scott Coyle
Georgia
Wade Seagrave, CvP
This congressman is adored by members on both the right and the left. He is constantly searching to find middle ground in debates to help congress progress through its legislation. As a member of SADD, he brings to the floor his knowledge of numbers and game mechanics, which is always good considering congress is finally starting to work on a budget.
Other Candidates: Chezmeister, Matthew29, Flaco Jimenez
Hawaii
Chimichonga Barbosa, USWP
Chimichonga is a long time player. Since his political comeback Chimi has stayed involved and active in Congress. His former leadership in the military should help with the newly formed Military Committee in congress.
Other Candidates: lukededuke, Dillon Smith, Densmai
Idaho
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates:Insignia, dbuck2001
Illinois
ArenPerry, AAP
ArenPerry already represents Illinois in Congress and continues to represent his state with dilligence. He is a leader in the AAP and a leading voice in Congress. He deserves to be re-elected.
Other Candidates: MartineZPL1988, NeilP99
Indiana
Kyle321n, CvP (Nationalist Party)
This "horselover" from Indiana is in the middle of his term as Speaker of the House. He has established congressional committees, an idea that has been lying in wait for terms. Kyle has widespread support from congress and can keep strong leadership through the change that will inevitably occur after these elections. Kyle is a veteran who has brought a sense of normalcy to the floors of congress, but it is worth noting that his warmongering, jingoistic nationalist pride makes him suck so hard that Sam was immediately impeached after making him his VP.
Other Candidates: IvanN
Iowa
ChrisDF0, UIP
Chris is often found on IRC and the forums mixing it up with everyone. He's able to get along with everyone and he's always active and staying informed. He'd be an excellent addition to congress.
Other Candidates: Daniel_Bush, Danny kowens
Kansas
Henry Baldwin, CvP
One of the youngest members on the list, Henry has emerged and become extremely well known among the forum members with his articles, even before he was able to start a newspaper. His knowledge is great and he's really immersed himself in the game.
Other Candidates: Shadow ninja, Ansen
Kentucky
Rhane, CvP
Rhane has been active in the forums and has served Kentucky well. The committee has marked this as a strong state though. Pyroelectricity has been active in foriegn politics trying to help out new countries. He's now back in the US and willing to help the established giant.
Other Candidates: pyroelectricity, Reggie Rim, gamerno1
Louisiana
Bienville, CvP
Bienville has been bien in the Bayou. He's been active and vocal in issues that have come up in congress. He deserves a second term to see what more he can do for the nation.
Other Candidates: ZSandmann, Reginald Beauclerc, Edward Earle
Maine
Gilroy, AAP (Federalist)
Gilroy has served Maine faithfully for the past 2 terms. He has been one of the most vocal voices in Congress. Gilroy is not afraid to stand up for what he believes is right. Time and time again, Gilroy has been a voice for fiscal responsibility and government transparancy. Maine voters would be wise to reelect him.
Other Candidates: fuzzy1994, sammyboy14
Maryland
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates😃
annytf, Sadam Hussien, Princess Mary
Massachusetts
Changewillcome, AAP
Changewillcome brings lots of experience to congress as well as a very sharp mind. Changewillcome is the kind of person that does not get involved in silly debates and has an eye for bringing in facts and details that really matter with a surprising amount of simplicity. We have no doubts that Changewillcome is needed in Congress, and is the most qualified candidate for Massachusetts.
Other Candidates: Tyrealhsm, TheBooms
Michigan
Chisholm, LiB
Serving as a moderator for the forums, Chisholm is one of the most active, informed, and involved members of the general public. He has shown himself to be skillful in dealing with people and to have a firm grasp of domestic and foreign affairs. He has recently achieved journalistic success with a couple Top 5 articles in the media.
Other Candidates: Zeninja, Dreadnuts The Mighty
Minnesota
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates:Alexiel Solarin, Bryan Sime, starrysothoth, perryx
Mississippi
Bill Brasky, AAP (Federalist)
Bill Brasky is truly a voice of the people. Whether he is speaking for his constituents in Mississippi, or giving citizens advice as a member of the Department of Education: Bill does it all. He is one of the few voices in Congress who always looks for feedback from the residents of his state. If reelected, Bill would continue to be a true voice of the people. Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Brasky decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives...except Fleegle. TO BILL BRASKY!
Other Candidates: Time
Missouri
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates:Jomichka, Kirkex, Clark Gable, Ryan_5, IanJohnLockeIV
Montana
Headmistress Talia, LiB
A fiscal conservative, HeadmistressTalia has been consistently active and vocal during her two terms in congress. She's willing to defend her position from the minority if need be, but is not blinded by ideology--contentious decisions will find her consulting her constituents before casting her deciding vote.
Other Candidates: Maz114, Dodgercatcher, Relorian, Claire Littleton
Nebraska
Illig INC, CvP
I've lost track how many times he's been in congress. What's 1 more term? XD
Other Candidates: brandon09
Nevada
Fourgot10, AAP
Affectionally called "4" "4got" or many other variations of the same idea, Fourgot10 is a familiar face in Erepublik. He is an likable person that has already been (and we hope will continue to be) a big help to our nation with the skills that he brings to the table. Compared to his competition, he brings so much more to the table in experience, skills, perception, and in-game activity.
Other Candidates: Tish, JackieBoy88
New Hampshire
LennyA, AAP
LennyA has been in congress before and provided a level headed perspective that is agreeable to people on both sides of the political boardwalk. Though LennyA's activity level has been less than what we would have liked, the input he has added has been insightful and worthwhile making him valuable to congress. Thus, we recommend LennyA for New Hampshire. Rocco Baldelli would also be a good choice though as this is a strong state. A former PP of the USWP, Rocco is an old-time player making his return to active politics. He formerly represented Maine in Congress and has a wealth of experience in Congress and throughout the country.
Other Candidates: Joey James Smith, Lester Snopes, Rocco Baldelli
New Jersey
Tiacha, AAP (Federalist)
What doesn’t Ms. Tiacha do? She is a multi-term Congressman, chair of the Government Oversight committee and Secretary of Education. That is only a few of her titles. Tiacha is constantly looked to for her leadership in Congress. She is a voice of multipartisanship and compromise. It would be a shame if New Jersey didn’t reelect her--- Tiacha is an asset to her country.
Other Candidates: Newyorker138, Danylo Halytskyi
New Mexico
Leviathann, CvP (Nationalist)
Levi has been active in our military and in the Nationalist Party. His activity as Public Relations Committee chair will transfer over very nicely to the congressional halls as he's able to get the word out on everything the NP is doing. He'd be a great asset to congress.
Other Candidates: Lonestar22, hiispie2
New York
CitizenDru, USWP
While never serving in Congress, Citizen Dru is an active voice and one of the leading media moguls in the country. He has run before and puts forward a compelling agenda. It's time to give Citizen Dru a chance in Congress.
Other Candidates: DonValentino
North Carolina
Muljo Gobet, LiB
Muljo made quite the impression as a young ecitizen when his newly founded newspaper landed several top 5 articles. He parlayed his journalistic talents into political achievement when he was elected in his first term eligible. With a term's worth of experience, he seems poised to take a more active role in guiding congressional deliberations if re-elected.
Other Candidates: wb247, Smurfy
North Dakota
Iduffee12, CvP
The current senator has been great in the House of Reppin' and I see no need for a change now. He's an IRC user and is always up for proposing or approving a proposal. Definitely an asset to our congress.
Other Candidates: Robert Bayer, em_knaps
Ohio
GoBucks, USWP
GoBucks is the long-term representative in Ohio and is also a leader in welcoming and educating new citizens. While he has not been as active lately as in prior terms, he still deserves Ohio's support.
Other Candidates: Royamen, Delta Two Seven, rkaplevatsky
Oklahoma
Nathan Woods, AAP (Nationalist)
Nathan has been a party president, party founder, and a congressman. He's a good friend and a great mentor to new players. He's active, insightful, and level headed. He was picked to be the head of the budget committee should he be reelected next term, and he should thrive in that role.
Other Candidates: Ricky Blair, maxpayne50
Oregon
ssomo, UIP
Running the creative "I'm not ML campaign" along with everyone else in this state, ssomo has been active in the forums trying to make a name for himself. He's done a good job getting the council nod from this fairly new crop of congress hopefuls.
Other Candidates: ligtreb, Nevermore, CaptainCAPS, justrob
Pennsylvania
Lowell Kennedy, USWP
Lowell Kennedy is a former 2 term Beta congressman, starting out as one of the original members of the USWP. He left the USWP and went on to start the Yellow Party, which he led for a number of months. Lowell had the insight to publish the "50 Most Important eAmericans" which was a fairly successful series of articles. He's very deserving in this extremely talented state of candidates. Cromstar, while being newer has also had some very insightful articles, and would also make a great senator.
Other Candidates: Cromstar, Uncle Sam
Rhode Island
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates: Zorba, RedRooste, mexidus, SamWystan
South Carolina
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates: Basaar, Tsukune, D.P. Gibbons
South Dakota
Joshua Hoss, UIP
Hoss has done nothing but impress the old timers in his short time in the game. He's knowledgable enough to add information to the congressional boards while willing to learn and take in info he might not know yet.
Other Candidates: Travis Ruby, Oleguer, Msuracer
Tennesee
Jewitt, UIP
Jewitt is a past multi-term Congressman from the state of TN. Jewitt is an outspoken voice on the economy, well, just outspoken in every respect. Plus, he’s a sexy piece of man. If elected he’ll be another sensible voice in Congress.
Other Candidates: Donovanator
Texas
NoneSuch, UIP
The former PP of the UIP and Economic Council member makes a repeat bid for Congress from Texas, bringing with him the financial acumen and outspokenness that has endeared him to so many... and rankled others. Pragmatic, and a well-respected voice in many areas of the forums, he would make a great addition to Congress. Panther also would be a commendable candidate, making Texas a strong state this cycle.
Other Candidates: Acend, Panther, Awrek, naruto kun10
Utah
The council found no one here strong enough to recommend for congress.
Candidates: Jaditus, Robert S. Miller, SCsprinter09, Voltare, Knojerakk,
Vermont
Joseph Schmo, AAP (Nationalist)
Not the Schmo you might know, it's one you should. He's been an active member of the US forums (posting as Brad), and he's a huge contributor to the Nationalist Party. He currently runs the Nationalist's Lottery fundraisers and he's been doing a fantastic job staying up to date in the political game.
Other Candidates: Mattoze5, Jm3n, Franklin Roosevelt
Virginia
navy II, AAP (Nationalist)
Navy has been an asset to Virginia and the nation. He's been active for longer than he's been eLive, and while that seems strange it's not! 😃
The current VP of the Nationalist, he's on a drive to get them in the top 5. With Navy helping there's no reason to think that this shouldn't take too long.
Other Candidates: qkoller, Sabotage75, Constantine IV, WahooBob
Washington
Inwegen, USWP
Inwegen is our Secretary of State and a leading voice on foreign affairs. He already represents Washington in Congress and continues to dilligently represent his state. We need his voice throughout foreign affairs and as a leader in Congressional MPP discussions.
Other Candidates: mindflay, new yorker 98
West Virginia
Hokiehigh, USWP
Hokie represents New Mexico but is moving to West Virginia to run for Scrabman's old seat. He is a close colleague of the President and the current Chief of Staff. Hokie is also very active in Congressional discussions and only continues to increase his activity. He would be a strong representative for the state.
Other Candidates: DesertFalcon
Wisconsin
johnwoodman, UIP
This quiet soul from Wisconsin may not say much, but whenever he speaks, his words are sheer genius. johnwoodman retains his shining abilities as a congressional representative while successfully running the UIP Wellness Boost programs. His work there could easily help inform discussions on nationalized wellness programs, and his constancy will help retain stability in an ever changing congress.
Other Candidates: Thomas. Anderson, Dazzle McBeefmeat
Wyoming
One Eye, UIP
This economic and statistical guru has had the heads and hearts of congress ever since he was a wee month old. Since then, he has been revered for his knowledge by both congressional, executive, and military minds alike. Without the input of One Eye, the eUSA would be a much weaker nation.
Other Candidates: Julia Selman, hahne59, huskerguy77
So go out and vote informed America!
Comments
No Pertamax this took too long to do...
DAMN IT, KYLE!
pertamaxxx
Damn Kyle. 😛 Nice job.
Yes! I'm recommended this time. Btw I really like the description. Ten brownie points! 😉
OK, I didn't get pertamax. However, I did get the pertamax endorsement. Who's first on the list? Big R. That's right.
Btw - thanks!
I would like to thank the ICCCR for once again kindly recommending me. Hopefully the second time is the charm.
No one strong enough in Rhode Island! That's an affront to RI.
Nice work, Kyle.
This must have taken forever to do.
Here we go. I endorse sam for congress in RI. Enough said.
Thanks the Council for their endorsement.
I am honored to have received your endorsement in Florida, and outstanding group of citizens are vying for the opportunity to represent their states. The eUS citizens are very well served for the choices they have.
Voted and subscribed.
Thanks for the endorsement!
I am humbled by this unexpected endorsement.
Many thanks to the ICCCR!
(Voted, already subscribed)
Good point. I'd edit it if I could.
how does the council figure out if someone is strong enough to recommend for congress?
@ Buck -> "how often they are active in their party, the eUS forums, and IRC..how well they'd get along with other congressman and the types of arguments they make"
It a pretty advanced vetting system but clearly an efficient one. I recognize most of those recommended players as talented individuals. As for me, well I didn't make the cut, better luck next time as they would say.
Anyhow, great work Kyle. Voted 🙂
Voted
thanks for endorsement
Would of been better had it not of been for the net splits
@Thomas:
I didn't make the cut last time. Instead of letting it get me down, I decided to buckle down and make myself known in the game.
Woo, yay all those chosen. An amazing list, and I must say, I like my write-up 😃
I did not get he recommendation this time but I hope for better luck in the future. Vote Voltare for Utah, btw nice article vote/subscribed.
Thank you for the endorsement! Voltare for Utah!
Shy guy looking 4 cute eLady
loves long walks on beach
candlelit dinners
holding hands
loves Congress
Thanks for the endorsement, but how are Ian nor Kirkex strong enough for congressman of Missouri???
Voted 😃
I wondered the same thing Chrisholm...
I second the "SHENANIGANS!" call.
I see no reason why NavyII was selected over me for the endorsement, or at minimum given the "strong state" tag.
nice
wtf Aiden, insteada Weasle? BS. Jk.
Ian isn't running last time I checked, or that we were aware of.
Wahoo, Navy is a very key person in our government and is the current head of the QMG, so he's proven himself-it doesn't mean that you're not qualified, personally I think you'd be fine in congress!
Thank you for the endorsement.I couldn't agree more with what you said about me.
A few infiltrators on the AAP side got pass:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-aap-s-infiltrator-list-for-march--761613/1/20
D.P. Gibbons is an infiltrator however he was not added to the list because we found someone to block him. The above link is all the infiltrators that we did not block.
Thanks for the nod. Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
@Thomas Anderson and Hari Michaelson
I think it is worth noting the ICCCR is not stating whom they think will win the election but whom they think would be the best choice. A distinct and noteworthy difference. So, Thomas Anderson, you very much have a solid chance. Hari Michaelson, you are facing me in Delaware and as such have little chance. I apologize profusely. Thank you, ICCCR for all your work.
Thanks for the endorsement guys...you are so very helpful to those who have no idea who to vote for. 😛
Thanks for the endorsement!
Thank you for the endorsement!
Thanks for the endorsement! I was actually surprised since I got back in town about 23 hours ago.
Unfortunately the server won't let me post any new newspaper articles, so it looks like I have no presentation or anything to use, so this might help me out some.
Thanks for spelling my name wrong
Thanks for the endorsement 🙂
NONESUCH!??! INSTEAD OF ME?
Haha, Good man Kyle 😃
Thank you for the endorsement!
Just a thought, but in the future you might want to refrain from making recommendations for the states that you are running in. It's not exactly an un-biased report.
NeilP99: If you will look, DF was on the panel was not recommended. Also, in the past one (I remember I was on the first Council) we did not recommend someone on the ICCCR either. It is just coincidence that they all got recommended.
@Jewitt: Granted, but I think that for the sake of journalistic integrity it would be wise to leave those states out. And I know that it's going to seem like I'm just saying that because I didn't get the recommendation but I'm just looking at it from the perspective of credibility.
Kyle,
Great article. Mine took a lot of work, so I know this one had to be a marathon. Very informative and deserving of Top 5. This should be a great election month 😃.
Voted.
The ICCCRR is providing a great service to this country and I appreciate the work it is doing.
