PROVINCETOWN, Wilkonshire -- The state of Wilkonshire officially has a new secretary of state.
Gov. Caroline Jepsey appointed Hannah Meade as interim secretary. Meade, who previously served as deputy secretary of state, will hold the position until December 2016, when the next election for a full four-year term occurs.
At 36, Meade becomes the youngest secretary of state in Wilkonshire history, and is an up-and-coming figure within state government.
She has never held elective office before, but her appointment by Jepsey will only increase her profile in Wilkonshire's political scene.
Meade takes over for Jan Van Ness, who vacated the position after she was elected to the Federal Senate in last December's 2014 general election.
Van Ness is a Nationalist, and her term as secretary of state is scheduled to end in December 2016.
Meade has not said if she will run for the office in 2016, neither has she stated which political party will have her allegiance. However, since she was appointed by Jepsey, a Nationalist, most political observers believe Meade would also run as a Nationalist, if she stands for election.
