I would be happy to do both.
Would you like to send me the questions via TG? Or is there a different way it should be done
I tend to like to add people on Discord, though can communicate via TG, and have them edit a Google Doc with me containing the contents of the interview.

Biography: Born in Philadelphia to Joseph Richards, a wealthy shipping industrialist, and Alice Schuyler, a socialite, Christina Richards had a privileged life growing up. Her family owned several houses throughout America, and but she was primarily raised in and around the suburbs of Philadelphia, and in Manhattan. When she was 12, her father left her mother in a scandal, something that made front page news in their wealthy social circles. Christina saw the toll the dissolution of the marriage took on her mother, who became an alcoholic and a recluse. She would die in 1975, largely forgotten by her family save for Christina. Her mother's unhappiness is later life made it clear to Christina that she must not ever be reliant on any man for her money, or her standing. While relations with her father were cordial, and he paid her way through both a private highschool, and later Yale Law, they were never close. When Christina graduated third in her class from Yale, she went into international law.
While most of her family were Republicans, Christina grew into a fervent supporter of the Democratic Party during late 1960s and early 1970s. She volunteered for the McGovern campaign in 1972, and later the Carter campaign in both 1976 and 1980. During the Carter administration, Christina, with her knowledge of world affairs and international law, was hired as a minor issues staffer within the State Department, with a focus on relations with Russia and Europe. When Carter was defeated in 1980, she turned her eyes to the academia, becoming a professor in International Relations and Security Studies at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire by her 35th Birthday in 1990. There she became a well respected academic, and critic of the Reagan/Bush Administrations policies, both domestic and foreign. Around this time, she met, and married, Charles Wynne, a professor of Classics and Greek Philosophy at Cornell University. They would have two children, Charlotte (b.1991) and Benjamin (b.1993). Her father would die in 1994, and he left much of his wealth to her in his will.
When the then Governor Clifford was running for President, Christina was on his campaign as one of his chief advisors on Foreign Affairs, preparing him for debates and compiling information for that years Democratic platform. After Clifford's inauguration, Christina was appointed Clifford's National Security Advisor (1993-1997) before then becoming the Ambassador to Russia (1997-1999). As Ambassador to Russia in the final years of the Yeltsin Administration, Wynne got to know the then Council Secretary, later Prime Minister and President, Vladamir Putin. The pair did not get along, as Putin saw Wynne as a capable actor for America, and Wynne recognized that Putin was far more intelligent and cunning than the brutish Yeltsin. When it became clear that Putin was to be Yeltsin's successor, administration officials removed her from Moscow one year early, hoping a new ambassador might be able to develop a healthier relationship with the new President. As compensation, the Clifford Administration appointed, and confirmed, her to the prestigious position of Ambassador to the United Kingdom (1999-2001). Her strong ties to the Clifford Administration led to great opportunities when she left office. She returned to teaching at Dartmouth, and became President of the College in 2003. She spoke out fiercely against the Iraq War.
Due to her Democratic connections, she was frequently courted to run for office over the years. She refused a draft movement to run for New Hampshire Governor in 2006, and Representative for an open Congressional District in 2008. When President Baharia was inaugurated in 2009, he asked Christina to become his Ambassador to the United Nations, a role in which she was well qualified. She served in this role from 2009-2013. In this time, she greatly affected US policy at the UN, and was the architect of several important agreements and votes. Refusing an offer to serve for another four years, Christina planned to retire, and focus on her family and her writing. However, as she saw the Republican Party become increasingly hostile to the Baharia administration and its devolution toward right-wing populism, she became more interested in active political involvement. Thus, with Baharia's support, she ran for the 2014 Senate Seat in New Hampshire. She faced several other Democrats in the Primary, but was carried through due to strong establishment support. She went on to narrowly in the seat in the General Election, and joined the Senate. She was put on the Foreign Affairs committee, and, by her request, the Health committee, a subject where she had held some interest. Due to her expertise in foreign policy, she has been a feature of cable news, commenting on international crises all around the globe. She has devoted some time, however, on developing her domestic policies, which, per her previous work and education, were not the primary focus of her life.
This focus on domestic affairs clarified several of her positions. As with most Democrats, she favours LGBTQ, womens, and minority rights, being a vocal advocate for gay marriage, and the right to choose. On economics, she favoured structural alterations and regulations, like the Dodd-Frank act to ensure that Wall Street stay in its lane. She also supports higher taxes on the wealthy, and the losing of corporate tax loopholes. She is a strong advocate for gun control. Her most ardent domestic position however has been on Criminal Justice Reform, and ensuring that the justice system is equitable and fair. Sitting on the Health Senate committee, she has favoured Baharia Care, though was, and is, supportive of a public option. In foreign affairs, she is an internationalist, favouring using organizations like the UN, and NATO, while not being afraid to flex American muscle if necessary, being supportive of several missions to target terrorist leaders.
During the 2016 election, she endorsed Diane Clifford during the Primary, and campaign for her in New Hampshire and New England in general. The victory of the Wolf campaign however shocked the nation, and Christina especially. She began to seriously consider a run for President herself in 2020. She has been a leading critic of Wolf's foreign policy, and his relations with the security services.
Other Info: Her husband Charles, is 71 and retired. Her daughter, Charlotte, is a realtor in Boston, where she lives with her wife Cynthia. Benjamin is a lawyer and prosecutor in New York.

- The American Israeli Alliance Defense Act - Senator Greg Kost (R-NJ)
- Recovery of Remains Act - Senator Barry Anderson (R-MO)
- Reparations for Historical Injustice Act - Senator Benjamin Little (D-MD)
- Raise American Incomes to Survive and Expand Act - Senator Tim Westra (D-NJ)
I don't believe any bills have passed the House to advance up to the Senate since Vaquas' last update, so now, you need merely collate these, and remove any bills which have been voted on in the Senate and failed to pass.
I hope this has been helpful in any small part.
