Update: A Special Election has been called for the 12th of July. Campaigning to commence soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Secretary of the Legislature Cassie Kendrick is stepping down from her position, according to an announcement at today’s town hall. The announcement comes approximately one month into the term of Governor Ella Bright-Starr. Kendrick was sworn in; her only publicly registered action as a state representative was voting “yes” on H.R. 388 – Renewed Transparency in Legislation of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker Emilie Lillegard-Marino announced Ms. Kendrick’s resignation; she declined to specify the reasons behind the resignation in order to respect the privacy of her colleague. Generally, the policy is to kickstart a Special Election, in which members of the public may register and subsequently run for Kendrick’s vacant seat. Speaker Lillegard-Marino disclosed that she has initiated a conversation with the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
