I’ve just realised, Kramer never actually got to trial.

Stephens literally had the US Marshals arrest him and transport him from DC to Montana so he could post bail at a tiny county jail and go all the way back to DC. Good times.

Biography: Everett was born in Salt Lake City and raised on a small farm about 10 miles outside the conurbation. Raised in a Mormon household, he was raised with a deep appreciation of the American political tradition and traditional American culture. He had emotional problems during school stemming from his father's death at age 10, but he finished high school third in his class. He attended the University of Utah, where he almost failed out in the first month. On the advice of a friend, he tried out for football. The coach provided him with the mentorship needed to continue. He eventually graduated 10th in his class, with a degree in business administration. He also started at free safety his redshirt junior and senior years. He played in the 1992 Copper Bowl, a 28-31 loss to Washington State. After graduation, he spent a three years in the Mormon missionary service, mainly serving in southern California. He worked for the Smith's grocery chain until 9/11, as an administrative assistant.
After the 9/11 attacks, Everett enlisted in the Army and saw two tours of duty in Afghanistan with the 3rd Marine Division, 12th Regiment. He served with distinction. In one incident, the vehicle he was traveling in took an IED blast and rolled over. Everett cut everyone out of their seat belts and removed them all from the vehicle. No one was killed, and they all returned to duty at a later date, although he did suffer a concussion in the blast. In 2005, when he returned, he went to work at the Salt Lake VA hospital as an administrative assistant. In 2006, seeing the path the VA was on as well the path the country was on, he decided to run for Utah State House district 28. He was victorious in his first primary, winning by 205 votes. He was elected by an electorate disgusted with the way the country was heading. He developed a small government, pro-life, pro-business, pro-veteran voting record over his 12 years in the state house. He occasionally voted against his party if he thought it would help his district and did not impinge on his Mormon values. In 2018 he ran for Senate largely on the strength of his voting record. He made sure to visit every county in Utah. He won the primary due to the Republicans in Utah liking his independent streak as well as his willingness to work with Democrats if it would help Utah. He went on the attack against his Democratic opponent in the general election. He asserted she was soft on national security, and he also attacked her as weak on economic matters, as well as being a bit out of touch with Utah. He was supportive of the President, but hesitant due to some of the comments he made about women and minorities, as well as his nicknames. He won that election with 62.6% of the vote. He intends to push a national security agenda, witch includes military preparedness, increased American engagement, and adopting a confrontational approach towards China and Russia. He also plans to introduce a national infrastructure program, as well as welfare reform.
Other Info: He holds Romney's seat

I have read and accept the rules of the roleplay: The Orion Islands

Could probably be fleshed out more. I'd like to hear more about the rank he advanced to in the Army, and what he did at the VA. Also, while serving in State House, did he hold any significant leadership positions or committee chairmanships?

Overall, I am happy with it. I'll have a co-op look it over.

Actually, I think what we are lacking are Democrats with military or intelligence experience.

I don't think a lot of Democrats would be war focused though.
