Notable Statements:

1950minecrafter about davidiscool applying to the congress: 1950: Mr. Dusty_3, I agree with you on the matter of the Senate having to be formed by senior members, but, maybe it's time for new senators to come to the senate. Mr. Dusty has server since the 1st Congress with me, I know he would do as much a great job as he has done until now, but maybe we could give an opportunity to new senators, and I think David is a good option. I would need a different reason than experience to change my vote rn. Again, Thanks, Mr. Dusty for your work, but, unless you give me another reason, I feel I have to vote for David, even if i yield the remain of my time to the chair, I vote Aye for to the candidate davidiscoolx.
