Executive Ministry Candidates Surface For This Year's Election

As the election for Millerainia's Prime Minister nears, the candidates have been confirmed by their supporting parties. Here at MNN, we have decided to give our readers a background knowledge of each candidate, former Prime Minister Daniel Grayson will be running on the Conservative Party platform, rather than his previous moderate Liberty Party sponsorship. Other candidates running for the office are: current Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Mathewson (Liberty Party), Haukii District Governor Jenna Morrison (Liberal Party), and activist Vita Thomas (Green Party). Many of these faces will all seem familiar, as they previously ran unsuccessfully against each-other in the 312 election. Current Prime Minister Patrick Baker will not be appearing on this year's ballot due to growing health concerns of the Prime Minister.

Here is a run-down of each candidate on their background and views:

Occupation: Politician/former Prime Minister

Bio: Daniel Grayson is the son of a wealthy Millerainian business man, and attended the prestigious St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Preparatory School in Millersport, where he graduated salutatorian. He then attended the University of Harbor Town while he interned in the mayor's office, gaining political experience and contact with politicians. He was asked by the Liberty Party if he would run for city council of a Harbor Town suburb called Dewey for a year. He was then elected Harbor Town mayor, surprisingly, despite his young age, for two years. 2 years later, he was a senator in the Upper House of Parliament for the district of Millerox. He was appointed Prime Minister in an emergency situation when Prime Minister Harold Crocker was caught in an impeachment trial. He has served that position for a year. He was not re-elected in 312. After his defeat, he switched parties and is now speaking on behalf of the Conservative Party.

Political Views: Conservative
For: A strong central government, lower taxes, strong military, privatized healthcare, large education budget, more usage of Millerainian oil rather than imported oil, using Millerainian resources to fund job growth despite cost to environment[/spoiler]

Liberty Party Candidate

Name: David Mathewson
Posted Image
Age: 39
Sex: Male
Hometown: Two Lakes, Lagota
Occupation: Minister of Foreign Affairs

Bio: David Mathewson was born in Two Lakes, Lagota in 1979. However, he did not live here but a few short years. His father was a General in the Millerainian Army, so they moved all around Millerainia and the world, once being stationed at Millerainia's joint-base in Erina Isle. After graduating from the Millerainian Military High School, he pursed political science at the University of Lagota in Celta. Fresh out of university, with the help of connections due to his dad, he was put on the ballot for the county executive election for Crane County, Lagota, home of Lagota's largest city, Celta. Celta was a long forgotten industrial city that has decreased significantly in population over a decade. Mathewson, while young, pledged to work hard for the city and try to bring back the people, cut taxes and inspire the people of Two Lakes County. It was a tough bid, he fought very hard against the Conservative Party candidate, but ended up with slightly more votes, making him one of the youngest County Executives in Lagota District history. Mathewson's father was promoted to one of the Joint-Forces Council of the military, and with this, gave political power to promote his son. David Mathewson was soon on Lagota District Legislature and then, with help of his father's political clout, gained Mathewson a meeting with prime ministral candidate Patrick Baker. Baker took a liking to Mathewson and took him under his wing. Mathewson has been recieved with high popularity in his current position as Foreign Affairs, with approval rating just over 65%.

Political Views: Moderate
For: An efficient central government, lowered taxes, strong military, cheap healthcare, large education budget, more renewable energy sources, slowly weened off of foreign oil while promoting Millerainian Oil usage.
