Spring 2023’s TLDR of State Representative Candidates

If you have not voted yet, because you’re confused, don’t care, or (somehow) didn’t know it was happening, you should probably read this. Spring election season is here, and with it, a new batch of governor and lieutenant governor candidates! To help you wade through the sponsored advertisements, campaign posters, and general propaganda, here is a brief overview of each of the candidates, their positions, experience, and one sentence each of them would like you to know. 

State representatives are also known as congressmen/women. It is their job to represent the people of the state they work in to the upper echelons of government. Your state representatives should be your first point of contact for any legislative issues you wish to raise, as these are the people who write the bills. 

As defined by the State,

STATE REPRESENTATIVES are responsible for drafting and passing State Laws, Acts, Edicts, Procedures, Resolutions, Criminal Punishment, Endorsing Civil Appointments, and other tasks.
Representatives will be expected to attend a mandatory monthly ‘Legislative Meeting’, and bring forth proposals for discussion on behalf of the good people of San Andreas.

Looking to know more about the candidates running for Governor? Head over to our Spring 2023’s TLDR of Governor and Lieutenant Governor Candidates for more information.

Disclaimer: Candidates are sorted alphabetically by surname to avoid any implication of bias.
