Does a Senatorial Nomination look better than one from a Representative?

It might seem like a dumb question, but I was just wondering if getting a nomination from a senator would look better than one from your local congressman. Does anyone know if it would factor into WCS?

Absolutely not. A nomination is a requirement of an appointment. A vehicle for a SA to slot you. In fact, you ultimately may not even be assigned to the senator that nominates you. One only needs ONE nomination, all are equal. There is nothing considered in your WCS pertaining to who actually nominated you.

All nominations "look" the same.

However a small percentage of MOC's use the Principal nomination system, and it could be argued that a Principal nom is worth more than an unranked or competitive nomination.

okay thanks! I wasn't sure, but that does make sense.
