Active Playtime: Last 30 days, 54 hours and 34 minutes

Which role are you expressing interest for: Clerk

What can you bring to the role: I would bring a fresh and unbiased perspective, I am applying for this job in order to solely preform the task, not to benefit any party or politician. I would love to faithfully perform the duties of this office in order to help the legislative process of Redmont function smoothly! Additionally, I plan to take this job very seriously, and will endeavor to make sure that the administrative duties are performed efficiently in order for congress to be able to do their jobs!

What tasks are you looking forward to do: I would look forward to working on administrative duties as well as amending laws as consistent with what Congress passes, I would love to gain experience with reading bills and laws, and this seems like a great way to be exposed to the current laws being passed, something very pertinent for someone in the legal profession!

Additional Information: While I know that I am a relatively new player, joining within the last 2 months, I believe that I am very eager and able to take up this job! And this serves as a way for me to become engaged with the server at a lower level!

What can you bring to the role: I can bring a high level of dedication, attention to detail and organisation to the Clerk position.

Which role are you expressing interest for: Clerk | Press Assistant
What can you bring to the role: As a former Clerk, Press Assistant, Speaker, and President of the Senate, I have experience with various tasks within Congress. Examples include posting signed bill updates with short summaries, pinging people to vote, setting up in-game meetings for swearing-in ceremonies or bill discussions, writing Records of Motion for Congressional Transparency, and writing and discussing legislation. (I haven't exactly been involved in the political scene for a few years, so I'm sure procedures are different, but I'm eager to see how things have changed over the years and learn some new skills.)
I can assist the Speaker and President of the Senate with various affairs such as pinging congresspeople, helping Representatives with bill formatting, writing announcements or posts as necessary, and collaborating with others within the Office of Congressional Affairs.
What tasks are you looking forward to do: Mass pinging people! (Generally looking forward to helping out however possible as all the tasks listed seem pretty fun.)

Active Playtime: 9d 15h 57m 12s
Which role are you expressing interest for: Clerk
What can you bring to the role: A fresh set of perspectives, alongside the ability to work with the rest of the OCA as an active and well-coherent team. During my time as a Judicial Clerk, my ability to do clerical duties has been shown in full force, maintaining a fully functional judicial system by my lonesome [with some help from the magistrates, who handle their own dockets against my will.] I bring a wealth of experience and cooperation to the role.
What tasks are you looking forward to do: One thing that tends to get lost alot in congress is numeration and clarity [poor grammar, etc], I want to be able to go through our small backlog of recently added bills [for example, the CCA.] and help with numeration fixes, alongside helping new bill drafts be easily readable, coherent, and digestible.
Additional Information: I am unable to get to a computer until the first week of November. I have been able to complete in-game tasks using my Steam Deck, but it is rather cumbersome, and I would prefer not to if available. I know most clerical tasks aren't in-game, so it should not affect things too much.

Active Playtime: Total: 5d 9h 1m 19s | 30 day: 17h 27m 51s
Which role are you expressing interest for: Clerk
What can you bring to the role: I am usually quite active and I usually look over what Congress does, so I can get things done relatively quickly. I can work well in teams and I can follow directions easily. I'm good at keeping my stuff organized so if I need to do a lot of stuff I can keep track of what I need to get done and I can get it done. I have familiarized myself with Redmont's laws so I know a bit of what happens with Congress getting laws through and I know what to amend.
What tasks are you looking forward to do: I am very much looking forward to helping out with Congressional duties and helping keep Redmont's laws up to date and accurate! I like doing administrative stuff, so I am looking forward to assisting Congressional leadership with their tasks, and I am looking forward to, in case I get hired, to make the Constitution say that it has STV because right now it still says SNTV!
Additional Information: I think I am a good pick for this because I can get things done, I like helping people out, I can work well with others, and I want to keep the law up to date!
