Following mental health concerns, I have made the difficult decision to resign the Office of State Representative. The Governor and Legislature have been notified of this decision – Due to the timing of this decision, a Special Election will be held to fill my vacant seat. My resignation shall take effect at 12pm EST on February 29th, 2024.<\/p>Artemis blackthorne, 9th congress<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blackthorne submitted three bills: H.R. 308 -The Legislative Civil Sanctions Act,<\/a> H.R. 309 – The Legislative Core Rules<\/a>, and H.R. 310 – The Authorized Informant Act<\/a>. All bills were submitted her first day in office, and two were voted down. The Authorized Informant Act is her only piece of legislation that passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackthorne was not elected by the public; she was one of five individuals who registered for the State Representative election, and was automatically assigned the position. Her resignation opens a vacancy in the legislature, which will require a Special Election. The federal government will share details on that election in the coming days, which Shout News will share upon publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
