Waldriech, my character is actually a Representative. I originally wanted to be a Senator, but changed it to Rep and forgot to adjust his role. Could you change it, please?

[The Danish Confederacy]

It's the 4th!

[Zelent]

Whats the IC date?

About 4 weeks before the first Iowa debates.

Okie dokie,

Schniderhouser doesn't really have to worry about debates or primaries, as he is leading a pretty much solidly unified new state wide party, his first goal would be to
A) Get his name out there.
B) Ballot access in every state.

Character Name: Alicia Florrick
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 39
Character Role: (Senator, Representative etc) Senator (D-NY)
Appearance:
Character State of Origin: Alaska moved to New York who she represents in the Senate
Character Affiliation (Democrat, Republican or Non-Aligned): Democrat
Main Strengths: Charismatic, can appeal to the Democratic base, seen as a relative outsider, very intelligent.
Main Weaknesses: headstrong, often falls out of party line which can upset major democratic players. Too Young to be a major player.
Short Bio:
Born August 26, 1977 to Jane and Steven Florrick in Alaska where she stayed for much of her childhood. Until she enlisted in the US Air Force at 18. having served 5 years before leaving in 1998 with the rank of Technical Sargent. She served two tours of duty in the Bosnian and Balkan conflicts and is decorated for both. In Late 1998 she attended NYU completing a law degree and graduated in 2005. From 2005-11 she worked at the District Attorneys office in New York County rising quickly to become a Deputy at the office having earned a reputation as one of the cities best prosecutors due to her unique style.

Having been a life-long Democrat (despite her families conservative beliefs) Alicia decided that enough was enough. For too long the politicians in her state seemed to care more about re-election than serving the people. but she thought that continuing her work in the DA's office was the best way to try and effect real change in her district. That is until 2011. Having seen the same 'good old boys' declare their re-election candidacy again. She decided to throw her hat in the ring and run for senate. After all what did she have to lose? Having compiled a small campaign staff of friends and acquaintances she ran a grass roots campaign all across the state of New York, Trying to show her message of change to the liberal base as well as win over some independents with her military background. Having fought a very contested primary with a democratic congressman and being a relative outsider who the party had hammered over the previous months to drop out of the race. Florrick won over the voters and became the Democratic Nominee for Junior Senator of New York. With the full support of the party now behind her and some rather strange high profile endorsements. Florrick toppled the incumbent republican with 62% of the vote.

Having taken office as one of the youngest Senators in congress, she has been one of the staunchest liberals in the US Senate supporting a staunch pro-choice policy. Strict gun control laws including universal background checks and Immigration reform. she believes the government should protect LGBT, Minority, and Womens rights. She feels that the rich should pay their share. Stricter campaign finance reform and regulation on big business. But is much more moderate on issues such as foreign policy believing in a 'call it like i see it' approach and not being afraid to use american military influence. She also is a member of the Foreign Relations committee and although supports military intervention. she feels that a 'pivot' is needed and some military funds should be diverted to the State department as the US should focus on 'Soft Power' and try to exert influence through diplomacy.

Since the Death of the senior senator Alicia has taken the role of the Senior Senator from New York.

Other Info: Unmarried with two cats, Her life is her work and many news shows prefer to talk to her about her love life than her policy positions.
*Same character and information as the old RP
Considered a darling of the left, has a large following and celebrity status in the party resulting in a leading role in the liberal wing of the Democratic Caucus.
Is still a air force reserve even after leaving the service.
*Might as well just use this one- got too much stuff made*

NS Nation Name: Krugeristan

Character Name: Jay Garestaer

Character Gender: Male

Character Age: 37

Character Role: Representative

Appearance: Average height (5' 11''), dark-blond, pale, incredibly skinny, but athletic. Heterochromatic (right eye-blue, left eye-green).

Character State of Origin: Alaska

Character Affiliation: Republican

Main Strengths: Working alone, resonates well with all religions, and appeals to the middle and upper class, mainly those in the oil and arms industry.

Main Weaknesses: Does not appeal to minorities, journalists, women, LGBT, and extroverts. Hot-tempered, violent, lonely, and despises working with others if they frequently argue with him.

Short Bio: Jay Vadarkof Garestaer was born to two German refugees who fled Nazi Germany as children. His parents raised him in a small town outside of Anchorage, Alaska, and right away found out Jay was going to be a lonely child. He refused to play with other kids at school and home, focusing on his schoolwork and little projects at home. He graduated fifth in his class his senior year of high school, and lived in Tampa, Florida, for a year to study politics. A lifetime of loneliness fed the desire to have power, and he worked his way up the ladder before being elected representative of Alaska.
He moved to Washington, D.C., and became known as "The Vicious, Crazy-Eyed, Right-Winger" to all of Congress. His stances on foreign and domestic affairs are almost unheard of, due to their radicalness. He strongly opposes gay marriage, open borders, and gun regulations, and isn't afraid to try and start physical confrontations on the House floor, his closest brush being in an argument with a Democrat over Libyan ruler, Muammar Gaddafi's assassination. Garestaer supports sending arms to help the Assad government in Syria, and also supports using torture to gain information out of terrorists, the death penalty, fracking, and expansion of the American nuclear weapons arsenal. His mouth isn't unknown to Congress either, as he's said, "I will make the Palestinians and Iranian mullahs drink my piss" on live TV when asked about Israel's fears on Hamas and Iran's nuclear program.

Other Info: Garestaer is unmarried, left-handed, claustrophobic, and secretly wants just one friend. He is undecided on whether or not he will run for president.
