I'm surprised there isn't more pushback from the evangelical base over this tbh. Oh, and also the ACLU and some of the left.

Or for a more subtle power move, she should shake Brookley's arthritis riddled hand tightly.

NS Nation Name: Kaltovar
Character Name: Charon Bauman
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 58
Character Height: 4'2"
Character Weight: 158 lbs
Character Position/Role/Job: Governor of Maine
Appearance:
Character State of Origin: Maine
Character State of Residence: Maine
Character Party Affiliation: Democratic
Main Strengths: Decent knowledge of Maine's laws and state agencies, able to sometimes act outside normal party lines thanks to Maine's tradition of semi-independent politicians, good working relationship with State employees generally speaking.
Main Weaknesses: Lacks understanding of life below the 50,000/year income level, lives in deep purple Maine and must appease both right and left wing voters, addicted to wine, anger issues
Biography: Charon grew up the daughter of a single lobster fisherman who saved his money and sent her to the University of Maine to study finance. Upon graduation she took a job at a real estate firm in Portland and managed to do quite well for the next 30 years. When her father was diagnosed with diabetes stemming from his rampant alcoholism, he nearly went bankrupt and lost most of his money paying medical costs. This was because he was a private contractor and not technically an employee, and so didn't have health insurance.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, seeing her father go through this was the last straw for her. Charon took her story to the media, an article was written, and people liked it. Then nothing changed. Wallstreet was still getting subsidies from taxpayers like her father who worked their whole life just to get screwed in the end.

Charon identifies as generally conservative and wants to protect the 2nd amendment, but is running as a Democrat because her main agenda is passing medicare for all and regulating big business. She would have preferred to run Independent, but who votes for those?

Other Info: Charon is an annual attendee at the Pleasant River "Frozen Mosin Shoot" as well as UMaine's "Gay thanksgiving" event. She makes a very big deal out of both and usually won't shut up about them for a few weeks after. She likes to bake things for members of congress sometimes.

Yes, we are, though things have been extremely slow. The only thing I can think of for you to do right now is write Paulson's speech for the RNC.

He did moderately well, and began a podcast discussing law, economics, current events, and philosophy. He ultimately dedicated more time to it. A graduate student at Boston University, named, Abigail "Nabby" Nicola, who debated him when he spoke at her school. He managed to win her over and after speaking somewhat later he managed to win her over. She took his business card and after a correspondence she asked him out.
