Appearance: https://picsart.com/i/360620245047201
Character State of Origin: Maine
Character State of Residence: Texas
Character Party Affiliation: Republican
Main Strengths: Comedic, generally well mannered, loyal.
Main Weaknesses: Ignorant, compared to others, he isn’t smart. And can be rude if you rub him the wrong way

Biography: Jeremey was raised rough in Maine. Every weekend he went up camping with his dad and hunted with him. He always liked hunting. Nobody knows why but it’s fostered his ignorance as he thinks he doesn’t need new tricks. At age 13 Jeremy got into politics, watching Clinton’s debates he at first identified as a Democrat in his Republican family. And he always got into debates with his religious father about Clinton’s presidency. His Democrat identity changed in 2000, when Clinton was in heat. Knowing he’d be one of Clinton’s cronies if he supported him. So felt attracted to the Republican Party.

In 2000 Jeremey was 19 and was able to vote, he thought Al gore would end up the same as Clinton, and he abandoned ship. Voting Republican. In the next few years as Bushes popularity declined Jeremy was gonna abandon ship again but he went onward. Distancing himself from Bush in his friend group and beginning to be a newer Republican. And now it looks like things may be going up for him. After enrolling in The university of Maine In 99 Jeremy was pretty good. He excelled in history and politics and was a great speaker in class. When he was 20 a relatively poor Jeremy found a job as a lab assistant. It wasn’t much but it was something, once he graduated at History in college Jeremy was a substitute teacher and was mediocre. He tried his best but teaching wasn’t for him. So when he was 26 he moved to Texas and became a farm hand and did that for a couple years. In Maine Jeremy felt like it wasn’t going to get him anywhere and Texas looked like a place to get things done. Jeremy still had an empty hole though and that needed to be filled, and that was to be in Washington, but right now he needed to make cash.

At age 32 he got his own farm and earned a lot. Many came to him after his first year for his dairy products. And he made connections with old farmers and newbies. Once he was 37 Jeremy wanted to head to Washington, entrusting the farm to his friend Mike. In the race for representative of the 25th district. he did well at first. With his great speaking skills he was in the lead and his opponent struggled, but his ego had stumped him. He made often brash claims that he was perfect, this hurt his support and lost him the lead. as his opponent was getting ahead he said “Jeremy ketcher will make Texas a place for fools because of his ego” so for the next few days he worked on himself and he did good. And he won! Jeremy was filled with happiness as he was heading to his dream, a 38 year old Jeremy went to Washington for Texas. Jeremy’s first few days weren’t good, he was terrible at arguing his points as he got heated. And he wasn’t a good listener. But he knew if he wanted to stay in Congress he had to work on his congressional image and public one. So ge did that and although less egotistical and hot headed he still had that ignorance. But he hid it to keep himself popular.



I have read and accept the rules of the roleplay: Vikanias

Fixed a second time. If this still needs working I’ll do it!

1) In 2000, why did he think [not-Gore] would end up the same as [Not-Clinton]? IIRC, Gore tried to distance himself as much as he could during 2000 due to the reason's Clinton was in "heat" as the app puts it

2) Why did he move to Texas? Could be as simple as being attracted to the State's general attitude to having family there that could get him the job as a farmhand.

3) Why was his empty hole serving in Washington? Plenty of people get interested in politics in their teenage/young adult years, but ultimately a lot of them don't feel an empty hole-like sensation to become a member of Congress 15 years later.

The Louisiana Senate Election makes absolutely no sense to me. Louis has made a 64 parish tour, been campaigning his ass off, and endorsed Richardson

all things that you guys told him to do to increase his percentages from the last polls, yet he is down 4% and and bellman is still in the lead even though he hasn't been campaigning. I'm extremely confused

Bellman is in the lead in a jungle primary with one other dem. If it was a one on one dem v GOP Bellman would be losing by 20 points. Gaspard has had multiple scandals, controversy, gaffes and sleights against him, he called the nominee pro pedophile and was Porter's number 1 supporter and richardson's number 1 resister.

Would you want to send someone to congress who was hated by the president? Who has constantly put his foot in his mouth? Or would you send someone just as conservative with no such baggage?

Dent is in charge of polling in multiple races where the Republican nominee has opposed Nate, like Louisiana and Alabama.

that's dumb, dent shouldn't be in charge of ANY polling in my opinion as he is running for president, but the fact the he is in charge of those particular races is extremely dumb and unfair

I agree. I would also like to share once more how very very pissed off I would be if an NPC won Louisiana.

Bellman is a player character who has done zero campaigning. Now granted, there is a jungle primary, and Gaspard isn't exactly defeat a Crawford Clay type primary candidate type of person. Consider me neutral.

I'm going to say this again, as I'm completely tired of arguing with you and debating you about this same damn thing every week. How would resisting Richardson hurt Hyppie, when it was fairly well known Porter was the most popular candidate at the time? I am lost as to how a four point drop could have happened. I find it incredibly suspicious, that a few days ago, we were discussing how you thought Hyppie would be 'fucked' and we said he would need to drop exactly four points to lose his lead, and guess what happens, he loses exactly four points, no more no less, even after staying off of Twitter, and finishing his campaign tour successfully. I am also a tad concerned at the validity and legitimacy of the polls that you conduct in states with Anti-Richardson rhetoric and candidates on account of the fact that you not only control Richardson, but you also have openly opposed these characters both as your character as well as a moderator of this RP. Moderators or pollsters, in this case, are supposed to be unbiased, nonpartisan, and impartial. You, on the other hand, have a bias on account of the fact that these races may determine the term of your character. Implicit or not, I think on behalf of the races you poll for, and the characters you may affect, you should withdraw yourself from the polling team on account of conflicting interests and lack of impartialty.

I don't think Bellman would win the general.

What should also be considered is that a lot of the Wolfist Republican base would be calling Nate a RINO and that attacks from the right could definitely benefit a candidate in certain states--like say, Louisiana and Alabama. Similar to how some 2020 Democrats ran to the left of Biden and even attacked him from the left and still won.

I find it difficult to believe that Republican voters in Alabama and Louisiana would be so attached to Nate that they'd go against a conservative candidate for attacking him from the right. IIRC they were both Porter states.
