Marley H. Webster - Socialist Alternative
Account Name: Archism
Occupation: Mayor of the District of Columbia
Political Ideology: Progressivism, humanism, environmentalism, socialism
Family: No partner, no children
Background: Born April 8th, 2034, to middle class parents in northern Virginia, Marley had a more or less middling academic performance, though she proved adept at several musical instruments and became much more academically successful during High School. Her early political views began forming during the O'Connor administration where she opposed the privatization of social security and protectionist policies. She became a member of several counter-cultural groups, and started taking part in activism on personal causes after several instances of biphobia occurred to her in late high school, following her coming out as Bisexual.
Through a very fortunate scholarship, Marley was able to study at Georgetown University in nearby Washington DC. She earned a Bachelors in Political Economy, and went on to earn a masters in Public Policy. During this period is when she first started getting noticed as a public speaker at many protests and rallies in Washington. Before the 2054 elections, a Democrat organizer asked Marley to run for the Democrats in a local council, but she declined, unwilling to register for the party. She initially supported Elizabeth Rice in the 2056 presidential elections, but ended up working for Hastings's independent campaign as an intern.
After Mayor Rice's fall from grace during the presidential election, DC was left with an unpopular mayor even in some liberal circles. When the 2058 Mayoral Election came around, Rice stepped up for re-election, but faced opposition in the primaries from several other more moderate democrats. Marley was extremely disappointed in the line up, and obviously had no intention of voting Republican. Refusing to be resigned to picking her poison, Marley ended up running the ticket for the third party Socialist Alternative. She ran an extremely low budget, grassroots campaign, but performed well in debates and attended a number of public events personally.
Initially seen as a far third even behind the Republican candidate, a minor political blip, support for the Webster campaign significantly improved while the Democrats infought during the primary and ran negative ads against each other. After a speech she made on the subject of equality went viral on social media, small donations to her campaign were made from around the USA, allowing the campaign to start running some of their own TV ads, focusing on positive messages centered around the slogan "Forward!". Webster earned some national media attention as an interesting story of a third party candidate rising in the polls. After Webster was photographed at a march for Washington statehood with a banner reading "Taxation without Representation", her polling numbers jumped up ahead of the Republican candidate, into the mid 20s.
After the conclusion of the Democratic primary, the center-left Gabriel Pollard defeated Rice and became the Democratic nominee. Only a few nights later, during a debate, Webster blasted Pollard calling him "Republican-lite" during a heated exchange, and later on reiterated her statement, pointing to the Democratic and Republican candidates and saying "This is a choice between being tazed and being shot in the head. One is obviously better, but neither are good." Pollsters predicted a close victory for Pollard, but when the votes were counted, Webster had 41% of the vote to Pollard's 38%. Immediately she became a national figure, and a very controversial one at that.
Marley made a tearful speech thanking everyone who supported her campaign, and as of January 2059 is just about to assume the office of Mayor of the District of Columbia.
Faith: Secular Agnosticism
Strengths: Very popular on the far left, significant national support from youth and socialist idealists, passionate speaker
Weaknesses: Lack of political experience, alienates centrists with extreme views, accusations of champagne socialism

Huck Edwards Hinshaw - DEMOCRAT PARTY
Account Name: Zjaum
Occupation: Career Politician; prior, a state worker
Political Ideology: Pro-agriculture, pro-green energy, pro-immigration, pro- well, "the simple way of life."
Family: Isabela (spouse), Herman (son), Fernando (son)
Background: So Egilson was a political minority, an outsider. Big whoop. Tell that to the Democrats in Austin, in all of Texas for that matter. Tending to their small businesses for a hundred years as the big oil companies come stomping through. Huck had been a staunch Democrat for a while now, and had done his part as a representative for a term when Egilson tried to run. Arrogant California city slicker (or so he thought), caring nothing for the little man and only for his own ego. Hinshaw got fired up and began his crusade against the president. Even though he himself doesn't wholly believe it to be true, he claimed personal ownership for keeping Texas out of the hands of the libertarian. The president was a dangerous man, and the Dixiecrat made it his personal goal to make sure he didn't get another term. While that tactic clearly didn't work for the rest of the country, it at least did well for his career, his "bulldog speeches" giving him a personality and a character above any other possible competition. In the House, he made sure to rouse everyone up in moving filibuster speeches- twice. He's proud to be called a thorn in Egilson's side, and he will continue to be one.
Faith: Southern Baptist
Strengths: He doesn't give up on anyone, friend or foe.
Weaknesses: He won't give up on anyone, friend or foe.
Miscellaneous: He enjoys wearing a gallon hat, even under improper circumstances.
