  • Government

    Mandate 


    The office of the Governor was created after the U.S. Congress passed the request for New Alexandria's Statehood in a majority vote and President Henry Coleson signed the joint resolution. The office is now democratically elected every four months requiring a candidate to achieve a vote of over 50 percent to hold the office.
