Where's the people whose passion in this game burn beyond words behind a screen? Where's the CPM PC experience? Do you really believe 5 or 10 matches gives you the authority to speak on behalf of PC players who pretty much dominate this game and possibly your vote outcome?
It's pretty evident that the only real voters will be people who care, and they usually tend to navigate eventually to a PC corp. So it's very likely PC players will decide the outcome of who gets elected. Though, it's also possible the masses just decide to care one day and vote for whoever they decide at random, I doubt they read these forums to get to know any of you.
CPM does not work because the people running for it do not represent us. I need a candidate that has been the boots on the ground and knows first had the experiences we speak of to CCP. Without that - you're unreliable. Your facts and figures are useless if put into practical play they fail. Flaylock pistol nerf handling and other moves made by CCP highlight this problem.
I'll challenge a couple of your premises here.
As a candidate I have had experience in PC from the time it opened, till even now, fighting alongside my brethren within League of Infamy. The Southern Legion has been a in and out fixture in Planetary Conquest since the beginning. Yet we are not a devoted PC corporation that you say people who care naturally gravitate toward. Sure, we love to delve into all aspects of it, but we care... about the community.
The Southern Legion was BUILT on community over game domination, yet I still have well more that 5 - 10 PC matches under my belt.
I care about the game, and I know PC. But PC is not the be all and end all of the game. In the end, it's the community that gives any game it's longevity. The community is what the CPM represents, and while many PC Veterans will vote for the candidates with the most PC experience, most also recognize that without new blood, DUST will get boring, thus New Player Experience, Player Retention, and Community are higher in the pecking order at this stage of the game.

@Blackjacks - I actually remember your old CPM thread, and you were called out in your lack of participation in the community. Now, my concern is participation in PC - I know you have some, but what are your goals currently with it? It's not important to me that CPM is in a successful PC corp - more so then just being involved.
I was actually quite active in the community prior to the CPM0 Selection, but that is not a topic for here, as you yourself have pointed out.
As it stands, I participate in Planetary Conquest. I join forces with many people, generally as a Tanker since that is my primary skill set.
My 'goals' with accord to Planetary Conquest. CPM wise, they are laid out multiple times in my CPM thread, my Feedback Threads, I want PC to be much more... well, just more...
But with regards as to my, or League of Infamy's 'goals' in PC, you'd have to ask the leadership. I stepped down as CEO of The Southern Legion to run for CPM.

OP is correct
What do you do if no one represents you?
Im in the same boat, no one on the old CPM or any of the runners use vehicles and i mean all vehicles on a daily basis
I didnt want to run but i feel like i should because if i dont throw my hat in i will never know, we could still end up with 7 infantry players like last time screwing up vehicles
In your case Sota we may end up with 7 players who havnt touched PC and competitive gameplay since it started
Im still with RS* and we did plenty of PC back in the day with EON but the corp got killed off due to GTA5 and fanfest so i slowed down with PC but i generally know what it takes and what happens from my POV at least, but yours will be different
You either run or dont because that is the only choice you have if no one represents you
I'd like to point out that I am primarily a vehicle runner.
Just as a note.
I play DS, ADS, HAVs, and LAVs as my primary skill spec.
