## History

#### Early Republic

Jake The Snake joined the clan on February 9, 2020, as jq22jq. On March 25, 2020, the clan reached 40 members and elder mikeRobb22 would be elected to the Council of Co-Leaders. This would leave two spots open on the Elder Council. An election was held on March 27, 2020 to decide on those two new members. johnsxhuler would win 75% of the vote and jq22jq would win 66.7%. They were both named Elders the next day, jq22jq officially becoming the clan's 10th elder to sit on the council. Prior to the midterm elections of 2020, jq22jq would announce he was running for Co-Leader. He would finish 4th in the election winning 76.9% of the vote and join the CoCL on July 2, 2020. Two days later on July 4th, he would change his clash name to Jake The Snake.

As a Co-Leader Jake The Snake would have an important roll in "The Great Cleansing" as well as the political battles that followed. When serving as Co-Leader he never abstained from voting to kick someone from the clan for inactivity and has been known to dislike "rushed bases". He was not often as vocal as his fellow Co, Chris and often backed whatever Chris decided on. In August of 2020, Jake sparked the debate that led to Nate's Departure when he stated, "*Nate I will have to take you out of the war for a while till you get caught up so the matching making is even*". Nate would leave the clan and form the separatist clan, "True Republic".

#### 2021 and 2022

Jake would be closely reelected to the CoCL in the midterm elections of 2021. He and Manolete received 9 votes where name.loading received 8. His second term on the CoCL would not be as eventful as his first and the clan itself would see some months of increased inactivity. As the midterm elections of 2022 approached many in the clan mentioned a need for change, some even directed that solely at Jake himself. He would only receive 21.4% of the vote and not vote for himself. He would be replaced on the council by name.loading. Jake announced his bid for an Elder seat shortly after and in the CoE Election, he would tie with General Aurum both receiving 50% of the vote. A runoff election would be held the next day and Jake would win in a landslide fashion. He would see a slight increase in support during the Elder Election at the end of the year, despite Nate running the first true smear campaign in clan history against him. Jake currently is still an Elder.
