The Great Region of Texas officially issues Congratulations to <span class="red bold">each</span> and <span class="red bold">every</span> nation that was elected, that ran, that voted, that viewed these proceedings! These were some great elections as usual! This Trimester, every Cabinet position was uncontested, meaning they each faced No Confidence all alone. Each and everyone of them pulled away with the win. It was really no shocker due the caliber of the incumbents. The Texas Representative Council race was not close this time as either. It was really different. As Texans may remember, last Trimester, the TRC was overhauled to be an appointed position. However, one of the stipulations was that "At the Governor's discretion, citizens of Texas (who were citizens at the time of the last Texas elections) may vote to confirm nominees to the Texas Representative Council". While we still messed up the voting procedure for the second Trimester in a row, it doesn't really matter since we are under no Constitutional mandate to get confirmation of our appointments. However, we did take Texans votes at the polls as an indicator as to who they would like to see on the TRC. Each of the 8 we put out for an opinion vote was resoundingly approved of by the populace. As we predicted last Trimester, No TV and No Beer, architect of the new system, is back and his little vacation from Texas Government is over. No Confidence was the big loser this Election. They did receive a vote in in a couple of races. It is heartening to see No Confidence coming up short because that means we had a good slate. The Governor defeated No Confidence and it was a relief to see no votes for No Confidence.<br/><br/>Please join us in commending all of Texas for their participation in this quarter's Election! Once again, this Election saw more participation in the many of the trimesters or quarters in recent years. The turnout was awesome and we had speeches in all races. There were no tomatoes this trimester, but that is Ok too. Texans are still very much alive, yet older, and are a dynamic bunch even after all these years! Kudos!<br/><br/><span class="red bold">Big cheers</span> to all the returning Texas Representative Council members and returning Cabinet members! Farewell to the departing ones, your service is appreciated and we look forward to seeing you once again in the future! <span class="red bold">Special thanks</span> to all who ran and if you didn't win, we hope you run again in the future.<br/><br/>Overall, this has been great fun and a highlight for all Texans. We look forward to seeing how the new freely-elected Government of Texas will make Texas bigger, better and greater than ever!&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="red bold">Cheers to The Great Region of Texas!</span></td>

I've never been much for making speeches, so I'll just say thank you to everyone that voted for me and congratulations to all of the other candidates. Now I'm gonna help myself to some BBQ and a cold Lone Star!

Thank you all for electing me with more votes than any other TRC candidate. This is indeed a humbling outcome.
