Wels

== Early political career ==
Wels began his career in the Republic of Discord by being appointed to the Senate by then-governor of Avalon Visher as an independent until the formation of the Technocratic Party. Wels was one of the first supporters of the newly-formed Technocratic Party and helped elect Fennec as President. 
The Technocratic Party would later merge with the Cool Party forming the Progressive Party which was the largest party at that time and would go on to dominate elections. However, as time went on this new party had more and more internal conflicts which eventually led to its dissolution. After the dissolution of the Progressive Party, Wels would remain in the Senate as an independent until the formation of the Visher-Von Klue Party.
== Involvement in the Visher-Von Klue Party ==
The Visher-Von Klue Party(VVK) founded by George was a party that seeks to establish a familial monarchy by amending the constitution. Wels joined the party along with Visher, Karl, Smile Not, and many others. 
=== Acting Vice President ===
Due to personal tragedy President Visher names Edi, the Vice President as Acting President for a couple days. Edi decides to appoint Wels as the Acting Vice President, and Wels appointed George to replace him in the Senate while he serves as Acting Vice President. As Acting Vice President, Wels attempted to replace the President Pro Tempore of the Senate with a member of the VVK party, the motion ended up falling short of 1 vote to pass.
=== Fall of the Visher-Von Klue party ===
The night before the midterm election day, George and Smile Not were both accused of treason. The next day, Wels worked hard to exonerate them by preparing legal defenses and working out a deal with President Visher to pardon them. Both George and Smile Not were later exonerated, however the popularity of the VVK party plummeted and George was despised by nearly everyone including members of the VVK party due to his childish behaviors and reasonable concerns of him being a nazi. George was banned from the server shortly after the election began.
The election that day was plagued by election fraud and foreign interference committed by a member of the VVK party, the fraudulent votes ended up all deleted by the ownership and Wels gave a public statement condemning the actions of his party member. Former VVK party members including Wels decided to rebrand themselves and form a new political party called the Republic Reform Party. Later Wels would leave the party to join the recreated Progressive Party.
== President Pro Tempore of the Senate ==
Despite the unpopularity of the VVK party, former party members did relatively well in the midterm election and Wels was elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate. As President Pro Tempore of the Senate Wels proposed multiple amendments to the Senate Rules which made the Senate more efficient and allowed for a speedy confirmation of President Visher’s cabinet and Supreme Court nominees. Wels also oversaw the confirmation of 3 Supreme Court justices and the ratification of the First Constitutional Amendment which abolished the Sovereign Representative.
== Vice Presidential Campaign ==
During Wels’s term as PPT he joined the presidential bid of then-Speaker of the House Society as his running mate. The election resulted in record breaking turnout as both sides resorted to canvassing to get ahead of the other and a tie between incumbent President Visher and Society. A runoff election was held between Visher and Society, meanwhile the House of Representatives elected Society as Speaker, as a result Society became Acting President and appointed Wels as Acting Vice President. The turnout record was broken again, and after fraudulent votes were deleted and lawsuits were decided, Visher ended up winning by 1 vote.
