Looks good, I like the descriptiveness of it

Dang, that endorsement came quickly.

The details, and the usage of air horns, were particularly nice to say the least. Well-made post overall.

I have to say, Imperial, Carrollton is really holding out right now. I'm trying to keep it fair but tough but she's doing pretty good

Got to go to bed now. You can reply now if you want, but we'll continue in the morning. GN

I'm surprising myself right now too. I'm just keeping with the momentum I've got, wishing I had this two nights ago.

Good night, bud!

I'm probably going to make a third character, a Republican.

Short Bio:

He was a popular child actor on a well-known Minnesotan TV show and became something of a darling. He never really went beyond Minnesota but sort of bounced around as a philanthropist/actor/playwright/artist/businessman/entertainer/comedian/hockey player something or other. He eventually sort of found his way into politics and was picked up as deputy mayor despite his lack of experience because the candidate was looking for some free votes because of his publicity. But then the Mayor died in 2003 and Justice found himself thrust into office. Not quite knowing what to do, he mostly made public appearances and worked on public funds for library programs, special ed in schools, counseling, children's hospitals, and other mostly irrelevant things that made him well loved. The timing was perfect for him though, and the economy rocketed upward, not from him but because the Mayor had died at the downswing of the cycle in 2005. He left office widely loved.

Post mayoral career he went back to his sort of random ways, starting a local TV station that blossomed into a statewide one focused mostly on children's entertainment, which he occasionally appeared on. The money fueled his alternatively zany and philanthropic pursuits. He ended up back in politics after a recall election for the Secretary of State. With the main parties not taking him seriously, the Independence Party latched onto him as a way to boost their appeal and he was elected to the office. Mostly through the work of his subordinates with a few tips thrown in Minnesota soon had the third-lowest DMV wait times in the nation, along with some snazzy new designs on their license plates and ID cards.

Finally in 2010 with an unpopular Governor not running again, he ran for the Independence Party. He was doing somewhat poorly in the race until his charming performance in the debate against the two much older and stiffer white men, and promoting his record as Mayor of Minneapolis he swept in to a victory with 56% of the electorate.

As Governor without much of a plan of his own, he ended up bowing to public pressure, and hiking taxes on the wealthy while increasing the minimum wage, both of which Minnesotans were calling for. Surprising him both measures turned out extremely well and the state's economy surged (This is all real life by the way, the policies and economy) creating a surplus. He mostly road off the coattails of this on his way to a crushing victory in 2014

With the best approval ratings in the nation Justice got cocky. Previously very easily manipulated by a variety of power brokers, his invincibility complex worked well as a makeshift spine and he spent the next two years ripping them out and working basically only on accountability and transparency in Minnesota, and the Center for Public Integrity gave it the only A rating among any state (though it was an A-). He enjoys the highest approval rating of any Governor in the nation but is still almost unknown outside his home state.

Now in 2016 he finds himself in the worrisome situation of no longer having his actually skilled advisors, instead surrounded by honest mostly yes-men, and worries if he is in a little over his head.

Character Information Sheet

NS Nation Name: JOOOHHHHHNNNNNNN CEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNAAAAAAA

Character Name: Cassandra Arumb

Character Gender: Female

Character Age: Thirty-six

Character Role: CEO of Acoma Energy in Colorado

Appearance:(Image)

Character State of Origin: Colorado

Character Affiliation: Libertarian

Main Strengths: Well-known in Colorado, intelligent on Global Warming and energy needs,
extremely passionate, strong minority support, the “Black Mother” candidate

Main Weaknesses: Rather sexualized and uncensored when speaking, can be ‘too’ loud and attacks very strongly, little experience in foreign affairs

Short Bio: This woman....this woman. Let me tell you the story of Cassandra Arumb. Her loving parents cared for her as they would any of their children. Despite their sometimes tough attitude on her, she prevailed as a hard worker. Never had her inner city school seen such a fervent and passionate young woman. She quite literally was center-stage of everything in her school and was seen as the pinnacle of true popularity.

Outside of her childhood and practical fame, she was not one for classic school settings. Believing in conspiracy theories and even being thought of as loony by some, she stuck to her guns and decided to not attend college. She instead worked at a local hardware store where she became a very tomboyish person. Anyone who came into knew her and soon, she ran for city council.

Her victory was swell and she felt she could be mayor but not before heavily preaching her energy agenda to all. This drew important eyes to her from several companies seeking a spokesperson and when hearing of a bright, young, and popular woman, Acoma seized the opportunity. Despite her position to become a Libertarian, she soon found herself as CEO as the board turned against its older CEO after Cassandra pressed them hard. While some accused her of being power hungry, she simply disliked the man and bashed him enough bringing his reign to an end.

So now merely 5 years into her job, she was the CEO of a company yet she knew very little technical ideas. But her personality kept her the job and with the antics of the young woman at an all time high and a strong sense that she was chosen, she ran for president on the Libertarian ticket.

Other Info: Running for the Libertarian nomination

Yea NS does that. On Thursdays they re-index the boards and weird things happen with people's posts.

It shouldn't really last beyond Thursdays though. Happened to me a few times.

[Sanabel]

I'll have to post as Tony Schlang today. Not-Anothony-Weiner will be a blast.

EDIT: This is my inspiration.

WIP. I can' have Alaska but I have great ideas for this guy.

[Prolieum]

The bill is now active in the house. Get your Representatives ready.

It would also be good to have Eberhardt and the House Majority Leader meet, and discuss.

[Sanabel]

To post as Schlang or Longwood...

[Imperial Esplanade]

The Libertarians are about to get an... interesting candidate.

Yep.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Oh man, I think I've created a candidate that is somehow worse than Larson and Drumpf.

[Tallahassee News Station]

That's fortuitous timing.

[Tallahassee News Station]

Oh man, I think I've created a candidate that is somehow worse than Larson and Drumpf.

But you already have Carrollton.
