President
Patrick Barber (KWP) I too shall announce my candidacy for President. I shall eat crow in saying that my illnesses this term have kept me from working to my best ability, but I am confidence that for the next term I shall be able to guide the assembly and its hansard as well as any time before.

Chancellor
John Edwards (KWP) Members of the Assembly, it is my great honour to announce my intention to run for the Chancellorship. As a long serving member of the KWP and Treasurer for two consecutive governments, I believe that I am well suited to the trials of office and the requirements of the rebuilding efforts that will be coming over the coming months and years. Our great republic is in a state, never before seen by our nation, invasion by our enemies has seen us lose precious territories. The war forced us to spend on death what we could have been spending on the furthering of our great nation. But we have not given up. We will be faced with new challenges, and I am certain that we can rise to meet them as the great people and nation that we are. For Kodiak!
