Is an inuit grassroots Democrat completely out of the running for the at-large seat in Alaska? Or could they get enough native support (and turn them out enough, they have a low turnout rate in comparison to Alaska's overall) to have a shot?

Character Gender: Male

Character Height: 6'0"
Character Weight: 161 lbs
Character Position/Role/Job: Representative for Texas's 13th district
Appearance: Ron DeSantis
Image
Character State of Origin: Texas
Character State of Residence: Texas
Character Party Affiliation: Republican
Main Strengths: Brian is charismatic and high energy when speaking. He has a strong and loyal following, and is loved by the Wolf wing of the party. He has a substantial pool of wealth and resources at his disposal. He is incredibly passionate and persistent and will never give up.
Main Weaknesses: His past history of racist comments. Association with conspiracy theories. He remains an incredibly polarizing figure. He is also stubborn and prideful.
Biography: Brian Armando was born and raised in the city of Amarillo, Texas. His father had made the Armando family decently rich off of their successful restaurant chain Tim's Patties, which had opened locations in most of the state, while his mother lived as a homemaker tasked with raising the young Brian and his 4 siblings. The Armando family first got politically engaged during the Reagan revolution. They were enamored by Reagan's commitment to business-friendly fiscal conservatism and his fight against crime. They became active donors in the Texas GOP and exercised their influence where they could to help ensure Reaganites took over the state party. Brian himself fell in love with Reagan's charm and patriotism, and idolized him in his youth.

Brian gained a particular reputation in his school years as he positioned himself as an elite amongst the student body. He frequently hung out with the alpha men, was one of the top football players (his parents even considered getting him to play professionally if not take over the business), and was feared by some as he would bully and intimidate certain students he considered lesser than him. While he matured somewhat since those days, his sense of superiority remained in his adult years, and it would ultimately decide the direction he took his life.

The Republican wave of 1994 further boosted his fascination with the political world. He despised where the Democrats were taking the country and started feeling that his destiny was to pursue a political career and change the nation in his image. He daydreamed of becoming President and turning America into his own paradise, even so far as world domination. When it was time for him to choose a career path for college, he made the decision to pursue law, not because he was interested in it, but purely because many successful politicians began as lawyers.

He pursued a Bachelor of Arts in political science from UT Austin in 1999, and his family's wealth and his good grades got him into the University of Chicago Law School where he eventually received his Juris Doctor. He returned to Amarillo and met with James Corbyn, who owned a regional firm, and took Brian in as a corporate lawyer. Brian quickly started to regret his decision, finding legal work to be boring and unfulfilling. He quit in 2008. Now without a clear career path, Brian was uncertain about his future moves, but he got lucky a few months later.

His father had unexpectedly died of a heart attack, meaning Tim's Patties without a leader. Brian quickly made his move as the heir to the company to assume control and become CEO. Despite his lack of business experience, his mother used her position to get him into the role. Brian found his new CEO role to be much more to his liking. The company in the early 2000s had already expanded outwards from Texas, and he worked to build upon the momentum. His success was mixed, however. While Tim's Patties had successfully built several new locations in the midwest in the late 2000s-early 2010s, an attempted expansion into Canada in 2014 bombed horribly due to poor marketing and overextension. What he most of all loved about his job though was his newfound wealth and influence. Throughout his entire tenure he built up connections with state GOP leaders in preparation for an inevitable run for office.

In 2016 the incumbent Representative retired, and Wolf's campaign re-energized Brian in a way not done since Reagan. He announced his run for the 13th seat in late 2015, and financed an active and charismatic campaign. He surprised many when he defeated his State Senator opponent in the primary, and turned an otherwise uninteresting safe race into a spectacle with his rhetoric and remarks. He said of his Hispanic opponent "He's an insane radical socialist, it really doesn't matter if he has a cool tan." and suggested that Democrats were possibly secretly running a pedophile ring. There was also a controversy over a leaked photo of Brian smiling while standing next to the leader of a flat earth group based in Amarillo, though he denied believing in any conspiracies. He easily won in the solid red seat.

Before he was even inaugurated Brian made himself known by going all in on the pizzagate conspiracy, calling for a full investigation of the entire Democratic party and the arrest of the "deep state". He stuck with the party line as a consistent populist conservative, voting with President Wolf on just about every issue. He favored the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act with enthusiasm. He attracted more controversy in 2017 when he said in an interview "You look at how fast autism is growing, you know- you see vaccines getting big at the same time. Look, I'm not saying anything about autism, you just gotta be curious about that correlation. Where did it all come from?" This didn't stop him from easily winning re-election in 2018.

He voted for the Relief Act of 2020. He endorsed Porter in the 2020 Republican presidential primary and expressed concerns over Nate Richardson's more moderate stances. He has cast doubts on the legitimacy of Wolf's resignation, hinting that he believes there may be a conspiracy to seize power from Wolf and the people.

Other Info: His net worth is roughly 300 million. He married Angela Cardona in 2001 and has 3 children.

Don't do this.

Unless it is a character page, pages for this RP are not to be edited unless I have given you that page to edit. I'll be updating the Senate Roster soon, if your char isn't in the Senate Roster, please telegram me asap;

https://iiwiki.us/wiki/Portal:Land_of_the_Free

Scroll down to check the Senate Roster, if your char isn't listed, let me know.

House Roster is on standby for the momentary time being <3.

Alaska at-Large *can* become competitive under specific circumstances, so no, they're not out of the running, but they should expect an uphill race.

Friday night, I went to the Spring Bazarre, and I got so damn drunk I slept in the gym above the Bingo Hall with some friends. Saturday night, I woke up, went with my friends to my grandpa's house, got dressed, walked back to the bazarre, played bingo with my maw maw, then I stayed out all night drinking and riding rides. SO pardon my absence.
