NS Nation Name: Aureumterra (III)
Character Name: Oscar Callaghan
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 41
Character Height: 6'1"
Character Weight: 77 kg
Character Position/Role/Job: US Representative from Georgia’s 12th District (2000-Present), Augusta City Councillor (1996-2000)
Character Country/State of Birth: Georgia
Character State of Residence: Georgia
Character Party Affiliation: Democrat
Faceclaim: Joshua Shapiro
Main Strengths: Family legacy, the Callaghan family has played a role in the local politics of Georgia and the city of Augusta for two generations prior to Oscar, with his father being one of the most prominent white advocates of Civil Rights in the state, and especially within the Democratic party at the time. His family legacy of moderate politics carries over to him, and the Callaghan name is well known in the area. His family’s political and business connections have also secured him a sizable amount of funding from numerous supporters and donors, allowing him a significant source of capital for campaigning. Being a moderate could also be seen as one of his strengths, as he has worked on bipartisan support for legislation and has accrued experience over his seven years in Congress reaching across the aisle. Through these efforts he has also managed to build a rapport with his moderate Republican colleagues, despite occasional disagreements. Unlike many moderates, he was also one of the staunchest opponents of the War on Terror, something that earned him much scorn at the time but later came to be one of his best judgements.
Main Weaknesses: While being a moderate is a strength in some regards, it is also one of Oscar’s weaknesses in terms of image. Younger voters and black voters, of which there are plenty in his district, often see him as being part of the "establishment" upholding the status quo and doing little in terms of major economic policy shifts. Being a Southern Democrat in an increasingly polarized and reddening Georgia is also one of his biggest weaknesses, and facing the rising tide of populism, both right wing and left wing is bound to be one of his biggest challenges. He also often invokes religious messages and themes in his speeches and statements, which may alienate him from many in his party despite being popular in his state and district.
Biography: Born in 1966 in Augusta, Georgia, Oscar was born to David and Nancy Callaghan right after the peak of the Civil Rights movement. His father was a prominent civil rights activist, coordinating with local leaders and presenting a view more "palatable" to the suburban white population of Augusta and Northeast Georgia. Being one of the few Southern Democrats to promote civil rights and support president (not?) Johnson’s agenda, David became a preeminent voice in the area, and not long after was elected as a Georgia state senator, when Oscar was just four years old. This allowed Oscar to grow up as the son of a politician, observing and occasionally interacting with many political figures in the state as his family name quickly became well known in the state. This also entailed a rather privileged upper middle class upbringing, and Oscar never had to face significant financial hardship in his life.
When Oscar was 10, his father was elected to the House for the 12th district, a position he would later take. David quickly became a well known figure among the Democratic party, and the Callaghan name in Georgia began to spread around the country. After graduating high school, Oscar pursued a degree in law and passed the bar exam by the time he was 24. It was around this time, in 1988, that his father David chose to retire from politics. For the next 6 years, Oscar worked as a legal clerk at Georgia courts, assisting judges and lawyers, while on the side he was a prominent activist for much of the same causes his father championed throughout his life. One of his father’s biggest goals, ultimately never realized, was to be governor of Georgia, which is something Oscar privately intends to make a run for.
In continuing the family legacy, Oscar ran for the Augusta city council in 1996, and won decisively. He served Augusta for four years, focusing his efforts on local projects to stimulate and improve the city’s economy in the already roaring 90s. He was a major proponent of housing reform in the city, instituting major zoning reforms to increase investment into working class and African American neighborhoods. Despite his progresses in this area, her still remained on the economically liberal wing of the Democratic Party, agreeing with many of the 90s "New Democrat" economic policies of the party, in contrast to the more interventionist New Deal style policies supported by his father. It was during his time on the city council he met his now wife, Gillian. The two got married in 1998, and one year later had their first child, Anna.
In 2000, with the announcement of the incumbent Democrat of district 12’s retirement, Oscar announced his candidacy to run for the seat. He was immediately the frontrunner in the primaries thanks to his family name and connections with prominent Georgians. Following his nomination, his election campaign was rather ordinary, focusing on pushing for housing reform and stimulating jobs in the House, still in line with the centrist "New Democrat" philosophy. He won election, and began his first term as a congressman from Georgia’s 12th district.
His freshman term in Congress saw him making contacts and establishing working relationships with numerous Congressmen who had been associates of his father. He further emphasized reaching across the aisle, and backed many bipartisan bills which he saw as beneficial to the country. During his first two years, he was placed on the House Oversight and Reform committee, through which he supported bills backing expanded access to voting and reductions in homelessness, especially along racial lines. He continued to portray himself a "compromiser" between both sides, while at the same time sticking to his own principles.
This position however wasn’t popular with all in his own party. Many in Georgia, especially younger constituents in his district, accused him of not doing enough to end continuing racial disparities in the country. When the war on terror broke out, he became one of the few moderate Democrats to openly speak out against it, and the national security reforms that followed thereafter. His opposition to the war on terror in a fairly moderate district raised speculation that he may be unseated in the coming election, especially as the state of Georgia continued becoming redder. However, his incumbent advantage, combined with family name and popular policy support managed to get him re elected by a fairly wide margin in 2002, and he became a prominent critic of the Department of Homeland Security and the increasingly paranoid state of national security. He also publicly criticized the action of sending young Americans to die in a war he termed as "needless and senseless."
In his second term as a Congressman, Oscar was placed on the House Small Business committee, where he used his experience as a city councilor to back and sponsor legislation supporting small businesses. He became an outspoken supporter of business owners, saying that small businesses are the "backbone of our consumer economy." Rather controversially, he toed against the party line and backed many Republican Right-to-Work laws, saying that unions and unionization ultimately hurt American workers more than it helped. This maverick position once again earned him a fair amount of criticism from voters in his own constituency, but he had little trouble being re elected in the blue wave of the 2006 elections.
In his latest term as Congressman, Oscar has been placed as the chair of the House Oversight and Reform committee, a position which he has used to advocate for housing reform, furthered civil rights, and increased integration. He intends to run for Governor of Georgia this term, hoping to use his legacy to unseat the incumbent Republican governor and realized his father’s dream himself.
Other Info: Oscar’s going to run for governor of Georgia. This is just my first character, I hope to make a higher ranking one who may eye a presidential run after settling into the RP a bit more, thanks!

1. Georgia was redistricted in 2007, then again in 2012 (modern boundaries are from 2012). Pre-2012, Augusta wasn't a part of GA-12, which was more east-central Georgia and the north Savannah area. It had a Dem representative from 2004 to 2012, but he was a Blue Dog slightly more conservative than Oscar seems to be. I think Oscar could still be elected in 2007 GA-12, he seems a nice fit for the district, but if you wanted his power base to be in Augusta, then GA-10 is where it's at.
2. Moving him to GA-10 comes with other problems — in 2007 and still today, it's very red. In fact, after Georgia was redistricted in '07, more conservative territory was added to shore up GOP margins in the district.
3. Georgia in '07 was a GOP stronghold, it will be an uphill battle for the governorship. Just wanted to let you know, that's just some advice, not a piece of feedback.
4. These RPs are very photo-heavy — Josh Shapiro might not have enough photos on the internet that you can use.

3. Yeah, that’s to be expected, Oscar is counting on the GOP either nominating a weak candidate on their side or using the nationwide anti-Cush momentum to make an appeal to moderate Republicans in GA
4. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of pictures I can find of him that could be used, I used to do a lot of political rping couple years back so had that issue before

You have them running to the hard left on health care, on taxes, on trade, and demonizing Wall Street as they do. I believe in working across party lines.

I promoted financial investment in Oklahoma by removing the cap on interest rates and inviting leading banks to headquarter in Oklahoma City, and by reforming the franchise tax for a more favorable investment environment. I was a strong supporter of Gramm–Leach–Bliley and would stay the course on that. I’d reduce federal regulation in the financial sector, and privatize GSEs.

You were a senior figure in both Cush election campaigns. I’m looking to bring serious talent on board mine, and your endorsements could be crucial in convincing Republicans that my campaign, which I will admit is not setting the world on fire yet, is one that serious people should get behind. We’ve worked together in Oklahoma, and I worked with you again when you were at FEMA. I believe we can do good work together again. I’m the only candidate in the Republican field with actual experience responding to terrorism, and I’m the best positioned to deliver a strong message on national security. That can be a unifying theme at a time when Republican politics are unpopular on so many fronts.My aim here in New Hampshire is to make it clear that there’s at least one authentic conservative in the field.

Promising no federal funding for abortion or stem cells. There has never been a more important time to stand up for conservative values, which are really American values, or else the terrorists win. An endorsement for me from your group would firmly show values voters here in New Hampshire which candidate can be trusted on the issues.Secretary Evans. You chaired the Cush 2000 campaign: I’m asking for your endorsement because I believe my campaign can continue the compassionate conservatism of the Cush administration for another two terms. As an authentic conservative with a record of pro-business policies in government and executive experience as Governor and in Cabinet, where I served alongside you, I believe my record stands up alongside any other candidate’s in this field. The Cush campaign captured something, though, that was about more than the usual promises of tax cuts and gun rights. There is a desire, just as much on the right as on the left, for a government that takes on the issues of health care, of disability and old age insurance, of educational achievement, of poverty. I want to bring down health care costs, as I did in Oklahoma. I want to privatize Social Security and improve educational and employment opportunities for Americans with disabilities. I want to take my state-level success in boosting ACT scores and slashing dropout rates onto the national stage, promoting American competitiveness for the next generation. Your endorsement would be an indication that there’s still work on the unfinished project of compassionate conservatism to be done, and that I’m the man to deliver it.
