M. Hortensia Quiritibus spd;
I am withdrawing from the race for praetor and instead am campaigning for Censor. I am too happy to see cives from Provincia Hispania and Mexico running for office:) May Fortuna favour you!
Now it is unorthodox to skip the cursus honorum but here are my reasons:
Censors in Nova Roma are responsible for admitting new cives with the proper names. I worked with Censor Quintilianus Buteo and the nomenclature cohors on this very project which he began. Our current censor his stepson, can confirm this was a lot of hard work! Wonderful work and very gratifying. But I loved nomenclature and even after Gaius Quintilianus Buteo's term as censor was over I served on the Onomalis list, with the other experts for no titles or points to continue work & research on Roman nomenclature. The other important work of the censor is as regulator of the mos maiorum, regimen morum. But what is the mos maiorum?
This is another great & wonderful area of interest. To help develop an understanding of Romanitas and begin to live it in our daily lives. Not only for myself but for all cives here.
So quirites these are my reasons, I am fortunate to have access to the University of Carolina's excellent classics collection & getting a good reading knowledge of Latin. As evidenced by my past work for the NRwiki, I will share, write articles and post so that Nova Roma can progress and become truly Roman.
May the gods watch over Rome and the Roman people!

ENDORSEMENTS FOR CENSOR
Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus S.P.D.
Being a censor I know how challenging it can be to be censor, but having been on the staff of Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus, Marcus Octavius Gracchus, and L. Cornelius Sulla. Having experience as a scribe I can attest was much easier for me in doing the job because I know what is involved. Marca Hortensia Maior were scribae for Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus at the same time, and she knows how the office functions. As a current censor I fully support Marca Hortensia Maior as censor.
Sure she is taking a somewhat different approach going from tribune to censor. However, this was done by Gaius Flavius Diocletianus who went from propraetor to praetor to censor. Hortensia Maior has been a propraetor, a tribune, and a scribe to a censor. I'm convinced she would make an excellent censor and she would be a pleasure to work with.
I encourage the citizens of Nova Roma to vote for her.
Valete:

I too don the toga candida and entry the race for praetor for the 2008 elections in Nova Roma.
I have been a civis since 2003:
- -Governor of Hibernia
- -scriba Censoris Iuris & Investigatio
- -Tribuna Plebis
- -Plebeian Aedile
In accord with the ways of the Republic I took last year off between public offices. But I still worked for the res publica with Vox Romana podcast, Nrwiki booklists for the cultus deorum: Reading list for the cultus deorum, articles and an online temple to: Fortuna.
I am a proud plebeian & climbed the cursus honorum giving games as plebeian aedile: cursus
You will know what to expect from me, as I will be a praetor in the manner of Roma Antiqua. I will preside at all ceremonies and personally honour the cultus deorum. I will preside over trials. I will not organize the tabularium. I will not censor the main list.
May we all grow in our Romanitas.
May the di immortales be propitious to us!
