There was an idea that was brought up by some conservatives following the IRL 2020 election that even though the GOP didn't have a chance at electing one of their own as Speaker, they had a chance to influence which Democrat was chosen as Speaker. The Progressive Wing of the House Democrats _ the entirety of the GOP was more than enough to select AOC or another progressive to the Speakership. It was a theoretical gamble that (obviously) didn't happen, but it was a fun thought experiment. As such, I chose to adopt it in partiality for my purposes.

Main Weaknesses: Husband’s business ties have raised eyebrows on the question of justice for Native Americans, particularly with Abigail's persistent opposition to reform in favor of Native communities in Congress; Mormon convictions isolate her from statewide or national ambitions; advocacy for (not-Ammon Bundy) and the People’s Rights organization has drawn criticism from Democrats.
Biography:
Born on November 9th, 1955 to John and Miriam Jekyll, a Mormon couple running a family-owned jewellery business in Klamath Falls, Oregon, she was raised a devout Mormon. Homeschooled in her elementary years, she would not go to school until she hit middle school age. Insular and deeply ingrained in the convictions of her faith, she eschewed traditional friendship groups and was generally shy and bookish. A good student, she had a largely uneventful childhood through the ‘50s and ‘60s, and by the early ‘70s, graduated with good grades. Her lonely childhood was compounded by the fact that her family were afflicted with polio, with her two siblings and her mother all claimed by the disease.
Accepted into the Oregon Institute of Technology in her native Klamath Falls, she pursued a BSc in Business, being the only one of John Jekyll’s children left to inherit Jekyll and Sons Jewellers. She was a good student, though her interest in economics in this period led her to be drawn slightly to the nascently growing libertarian and anti-Keynesian push in economic theory at the time. This would go on to shape her economic views as her life continued. Not inherently interested in politics at this time, upon leaving college in 1976, she began to work at Jekyll and Sons to support her father in the business.
She did, in this time, meet Paul Jones, a fellow Mormon and local whose family had been successful in the east Oregon timber industry, from lands that had been expropriated from the local Klamath and Modoc peoples. With a compatibility of religion, and a reasonably positive start, they soon entered into a relationship, and by 1978 were married. Her continuing work for Jekyll and Sons was on and off as she experienced four pregnancies, one of them difficult, over a period of four years from 1979 to 1983. Over the 1980s, she approved of the large-scale push to slash federal taxation by President Reagan, and between that and her nascent interest in economics from college, she became increasingly jaded at what she saw as state and local taxes that impeded both her husband and her father in success in business.
The opportunity to confront this came in 1992. With her children all at an age requiring less direct supervision, and the blessing of her husband (without which she wouldn’t have acted at all), she stood for election as Mayor of Klamath Falls on an outrightly anti-tax platform, promising to cut waste in the city government and put money back in the hands of locals. With a broadly contested field, she managed to distinguish herself enough to drag herself ahead of her rivals, and managed to win election in the small, eastern Oregonian city.
Despite the nonpartisan nature of the mayoralty in Klamath Falls, she began to build ties with the state Republican Party, who were cultivating her as a potential future candidate. Her Mormon faith, and the firmness to which she held to it, however, impeded her and resulted in her largely being regarded as unfit for statewide office, though the potential remained for her to see congressional office later.
As Mayor, she indeed did cut down on municipal spending and taxes, though at an expense to public services, contracting them out where possible to companies who could provide a slightly less stringent service at a more reasonable cost. Despite the dip in public services, the slashing of municipal taxes did much to cement her popularity, as did her response to the earthquake in 1993, which destroyed numerous buildings in the downtown area. Personally overseeing the response by fire and rescue services alongside state agencies, she functioned on very little sleep as she sought to ensure that everyone in the collapsed buildings could be accounted for. She was integral in seeking the Community Development Block Grant necessary to help cover the millions of dollars in damage in the area, and applied herself forthrightly to the task of negotiating down the price of contracts during the rebuilding. She went on to go to Washington, D.C. personally on a political stunt to demand the USGS establish seismographs in Klamath County, which would eventually occur, and earned her some attention across the state, particularly in the east.
Despite her Republican leanings, she has been an avid advocate for the geothermal heating and energy systems in the Klamath Falls area, supporting investments and developments in the technology to reduce city expenditures on heating and electricity. A proponent of school choice, she started a campaign and set groundwork for the Klamath Falls City School District establishing its first charter high school in 2006, after she had left office.
When it became apparent that an opening would be present to run for Congress in 2000 in Oregon’s 2nd District, Abigail was interested. Solidified in her alignment towards the Republican Party by her outrage at the Clifford sex scandal, and firmly convicted of the belief that President Clifford should have been impeached for his poor moral character, she ran in the primary and managed to pull out a slim but convincing lead. The safe Republican district fell into her hands in the election of 2000, allowing her to join Congress in 2001. Not long afterwards, her father succumbed to emphysema, and she inherited the family business, which she left in the hands of her now-21 year old son, Joseph.
In the 107th Congress, she was an enthusiastic supporter of the agenda of President Burke, including the military activities of that administration. She was, however, a No vote on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, cutting her teeth on her deregulatory credentials. She also began her pattern of - every Congress - introducing a bill to dilute the authority of the Endangered Species Act after the 2001 ruling that caused irrigation systems in the Klamath Falls area to be shut down to protect species of fish. She was a visible presence in the ‘Bucket Brigades’ in Klamath Falls, and led a delegation of protesting farmers to the Capitol. In 2002, her second son, Paul Jekyll-Jones Jr., joined the US Army. He would go on to be deployed a number of times in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the 108th Congress, she was involved in the drafting of the Check 21 Act to streamline banking processes, and was a supporter of the party line on the CAN-SPAM Act. She first joined the House Committee on Natural Resources in this Congress. She sharpened her credentials on Israel with her support for the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act.
In the 109th Congress, she helped to draft and was a firm supporter of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, as well as the failed Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act. She was outspoken in furthering the censorship technology provisions in the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, deploring the “abundance of filth in present media”.
In the 110th Congress, in the minority, she nonetheless joined the congressional majorities that overturned President Burke’s veto of the 2007 Farm Bill, and she voted against the Saxbe fix for Diane Clifford near the end of the Congress, giving a long floor speech stating her belief that the “specter of misconduct in the White House should not be allowed to return”, referencing the Secretary of State-designate’s husband’s scandals.
In the 111th Congress, the first of President Baharia’s presidency, she refused to attend his joint address to Congress calling for healthcare reform, and would go on to become a founding member of the Tea Party Caucus in 2009. Though she made an exception for the Lilly Ledbetter Act, she otherwise opposed the large share of President Baharia’s policies. She exceeded the time allotted for her floor speech on the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act and had to be removed from the House chamber when she refused to end her speech.
In the 112th Congress, she was delighted by the restoration of the Republican majority in the House, and eagerly supported Speaker (not-Boehner’s) brinkmanship with President Baharia over the debt ceiling and government spending. Opposed to the STOCK Act and supportive of the JOBS Act, she remained a relatively solid Republican vote on the vast majority of issues. She was disappointed by the Sebelius ruling, claiming that the Court had “failed in its fundamental duties to restrain an overzealous government” by failing to strike down Bahariacare. An early supporter of (not-Mitt Romney), she threw her weight behind the campaign of the fellow Mormon through to his defeat in the election of 2012.
By the 113th Congress, she supported the Veteran’s Choice Act, and was a No vote on the proposed reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, on the basis of its incorporation of protections for LGBT persons, and immigrants.
In the 114th Congress, she supported (not-Paul Ryan’s) ascendancy to the Speakership, and was rewarded with the chairmanship of the Natural Resources committee. A supporter of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, and an opponent of USA FREEDOM Act, criticizing the Baharia Administration as being “criminally weak on the national defense”. An early supporter of former Representative and FOX pundit Arnold Wolf, having recognized early his potential to disrupt the field and more radicalized by her time in the Tea Party, she was a key speaker for his campaign across the west coast of the United States, driving up numbers of blue state Republicans for his campaign. She caused a stir in 2016 by being an open and vocal support of the occupiers during the Malheur siege, stating that any aggressive action by the Baharia Administration would “constitute a declaration of war by the federal government against the citizens, and invite a righteous revolution in return”.
In the 115th Congress, she was a vocal and loud supporter of the attempt to overturn Bahariacare, and was excoriating regarding Senate Republicans who voted down the reconciliation measure. A supporter of the vast majority of the Republican agenda, she did not give her backing to the FIRST STEP Act.
In the 116th Congress, she remained a persistent opponent and obstructionist of the Democratic agenda in the House, in line with Republican colleagues. Though she supported IRS reform in the Taxpayer First Act, she otherwise did not support bipartisan initiatives, preferring to cast the Democratic House as uncooperative and hyperpartisan. Sitting out of the early stages of the Republican primaries following the shock announcement of President Wolf’s illness and his successor Tawney’s desire not to run again, she eventually endorsed Governor Richardson of Florida as the field narrowed, and supported him actively in the Washington, Oregon and California primaries. During this Congress, she was the Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee.
In the 117th Congress, she has taken the Chair of the Natural Resources Committee in the House.
Other Info: Practicing Mormon; married to Paul Jekyll-Jones (m. 1978). Has 4 children: Joseph (b. 1979), Paul Jr. (b. 1980), Bethany (b. 1981), and Rachael (b. 1983).

Biography: Alexander Joseph "AJ" Payne was born in 1979 at Jamaica Hospital in Queens. He did fairly well in his schooling years, allowing him to be accepted into York College in Jamaica Queens where he earned an undergraduate in Public Health. He did fairly well, allowing him to attend Liberty University in Virginia for his Masters in Divinity, where he graduated in 2003. While he was in college AJ began to be interested in politics, especially during the beginning of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. AJ personally opposed the war, especially as it came forward that there was no evidence of Hussein harboring Weapons of Mass Destruction.
He was ordained as a Pastor for Community Baptist Church in Queens in 2004 as the Assistant Pastor. He became appalled by the Burke administration referring to it's Middle Eastern wars as a "Crusade", viewing it personally as a perversion of Christian teachings. Outside of the Church he began to volunteer for anti-war protest groups as well as economic justice organizations. However he took issue with the Democratic Socialists of America for their pro-LGBT stances as he was still staunchly opposed to same-sex marriage at the time.
The first Presidential election that he paid attention too heavily was the 2008 election. AJ decided to get involved in favor of Rashid Baharia, as he disliked Diane Clifford and saw her husband's presidency as just "more of the same disdain for the poor". He volunteered for the Baharia campaign in the city, going door-to-door and encouraging people (Outside the church), especially people of color, to vote for Senator Baharia in the Primary. To his disappointment Senator Clifford won the state and the city of New York easily. Between his preaching and his volunteer work he became much more known in the community.
In 2009 the Senior Pastor for the church passed away, which meant AJ would ascend to the position. AJ continued to volunteer, but he started to become disillusioned by the Baharia presidency. AJ finally caved and joined the Democratic Socialists of America in 2010. He decided to drop his past views on same-sex marriage and abortion in order to be able to volunteer with the organization. Outside of preaching he was sent all across the city speaking in favor of Leftist causes and economic and racial justice. He also participated in several marches of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In 2013 AJ was absolutely appalled by the death of Trayvon Martin, followed by Michael Brown and Freddie Gray in 2014. He became a staunch supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. He participated in several marches throughout the city. He quickly became a well known member of the movement and in fact lead and spoke at several marches, calling for greater police accountability and an end to deaths of unarmed black men. He came under attack as a hypocrite by Conservative activists in late 2014 after he failed to publicly condemn the murder of two police officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu by a BLM supporter.
In 2016 AJ became a supporter of Sam Baginski. He saw the Democratic Socialist as a true chance for economic and racial justice in America. He campaigned ardently throughout the city, well known by thousands at this point. He also posted videos online and appeared on MSNBC and CNN to speak in favor of the Socialist leading up to the primary. Yet again his preferred candidate was defeated by Diane Clifford on primary day and even worse, she received the nomination. However he begrudgingly voted for her in the general, viewing Arnold Wolf as a white supremacist and a threat to economic and racial justice.
Following Arnold Wolf's upset victory he decided it was time to get himself involved. AJ officially stepped down as Pastor and ran for New York City Public Advocate in 2017. He faced a tough primary against a moderate State Senator from Manhattan, but managed to prevail with 53% of the vote thanks to high level endorsements including Sam Baginski himself, the DSA and BLM. He faced only a challenger from the Conservative Party of New York in the General who he soundly defeated with over 75% of the vote.
As Public Advocate, AJ has clashed with Mayor (Not-De Blasio) over the issues of policing, homelessness and poverty. He has criticized the Wolf administration as one of the most "evil, anti-democratic and racist" presidencies he had ever seen. In 2018 considered running in the Democratic Primary for Lieutenant Governor against incumbent Mick Doherty but decided against it after internal polls showed a defeat. He applauded the decision by Governor (Not-Cuomo) to step down but has criticized Doherty for his anti-immigrant views, calling him an imminent danger to New York's undocumented population.
In 2021, AJ plans to decline to seek a second term as Public Advocate, instead running for Mayor of New York to replace term-limited (Not-De Blasio)
Other Info: -Unmarried, has three older brothers. Speaks Latin due to his learning it during his Master's education.
