I/He cast a wide net. I literally search every state in appalachia and checked the OOC for characters from there and asked them for support.

Williams would have supported Emberton if he didn't literally call him a racist

Thats the issue with Andy and some ofnyour other characters. They feel manufactured and inauthentic because they are just based around what polls well or looks good to specific demographics. They all feel similar to one another. Emby and Anderson feel like the same person in their relentless pursuit of endorsement

Emberton needs support for the bill, he's whipping votes which is what reps are supposed to do to get their bills passed.

I think I gave some meeting suggestions earlier. He can definitely meet with Jared, though starting off with him does mean that the dynamics are gonna be a little different, which should still be fine

Mobile keyboard being a pain

Rephrasing: Is Jared currently in some meeting or because of something he can't attend a meeting? ( I kinda don't want to wait an IRL week to have a meeting with Alozia's char [ Caldwell ], plus, Jared is the DCCC Chair )

Anyway, why would the dynamics be different and how


Basically William is a freshman Rep without much of a record or any connections, which is fine, it just means that if he's meeting with the head of the DCCC it'll be a much more "going to the boss to make a proposal" than "meeting with a colleague" sort of vibe

Seemed a little light with the only one endorsement to get resources bit (unless I misread that?) and could be a little more machiney but that's really just nitpicking, was good writing

Also was this a typo? "if RP you can talk To them in just the right tone"
