FEDS Day 2: Coalition Builds Around the Eagle

After the official election of the Federalist’s Party Chair and Party Secretary on Sunday night, the duo carefully curated and successfully carried out their first official meeting June 23rd, Monday night in the Dining Commons lawn. This meeting had a great amount of energy, coming from the Party Leadership and also the delegates. Joseph Warner, also known as “Joe Mama”, led the meeting, opening with various remarks. As Warner was wrapping up his introduction, nerves were rising in the environment as candidates were preparing for their electoral speech. 

The order of the phenomenal speeches went in the order of: Insurance Commissioner, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Controller, Secretary of State,  Lieutenant Governor, and lastly, Governor. While there were many memorable speeches, the most common theme within them all was unity. Almost all candidates mentioned some form of unity within the Federalist party. Something else to be noted was the roaring support that all candidates received ranging from clapping to verbal and physical cheering.

To continue on, the Federalist party has officially chosen a symbol to represent the Federalist Party: an American Eagle. Along with this decision, came the creation of the party’s logo. Something else to be noted of the second meeting were the chants that were in between speeches. Examples of these chants include “Who are we? F E D!” and “W Party”! These chants created a collaborative environment within the Federalist party. Although, something important to be noted is Warner’s last announcement before adjourning the meeting. Members of the Federalist party were not able to choose those to further progress into the election, but rather the Party Leadership will. In the last minutes of the Federalist meeting, Warner announces that the Party Leadership will announce their endorsements soon. What this did was create curiosity among both the candidates and members of the Federalist party, wondering who the Party Leadership will choose to publicly support.
