I tried to run and won.

It's not like it takes a sacrifice to the Inca gods. Fill out a LM application, it will get forwarded to your DVP the process is pretty simple.

There's a district that has run unopposed several 3 year cycles in a row, if 1 person runs the incumbent can't even run again, we are supposed to term out at a max of 3 consecutive terms (9 years), then I would have to run for EVP or President to stay on the board, assuming I win 2 more elections. The only way to continue after 3 terms is if nobody runs for the district. In fairness Andy Griffith has good name recognition in the south though

The old boy secret handshake crap put forth earlier is just that, crap.
