- Comment: Bohnak is set to take office at noon on January 1, 2025. Depending on the timing of a MP appearance, the hook will need a minor edit to account for the change in status from representative-elect to representative. Reviewing January 2, 2025, and changing all hooks. Sammi Brie

@Imzadi1979: New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ present. There are four citation needed templates for personal details. Hook facts check out, though I don't know if I'd want to stake a Main Page claim on ALT1. Please address the citation needed templates before we continue.

- @Sammi Brie: I've commented out some details for now for further research, and added a source that addresses his age and thus indirectly his birth year. Of note, using background check websites, several of these details can verified from their compilations of public records, but I don't know the appetite of Wikipedians on citing them, which is why I used the cn tags. In other words, the information is out there already so it's verifiable, even if I didn't post a specific citation to indicate the it's verified. Imzadi 1979 → 19:25, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I am ready to accept this in its current condition. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:37, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
