Matthew Volfson

==Matthew Volfson==
Matthew Volfson is a service member of Mock Election currently serving as District 1 House Representative. He has been elected two times by the popular vote to that office. He joined Mock Election in the Middle of July, 2019 and is continuously active leading to today. He first ran for District 4 Senate and then was advised by his friend and political ally, Roman Thaddeus, to move to District 2. There he met stiff competiton so then he decided to move to run for District 1 Senate where he was defeated by a large margin by his opponent, Maleek Diaz. He then decided to run for District 1 House where he was defeated once in a single vote deficit by an inactive MEC Contributor, Poro Poro. He was also defeated by a popular former Vice President and Senator, Raymundo Felix. After that, he decided to take a hiatus from MEC and found a new Mock Election, Mock Election Democratic Russia. He lost popularity because he consistently spammed it and asking all the time whether people could join. He made it inactive just after Thanksgiving in 2019 due to large unpopularity. He then decided to run for House again in the promise that he will bring a new voice to the House floor. He won this election against a candidate, Nancy Pelosi, which may have been run by Raymundo Felix. Immediately after that, Volfson created deep distrust of himself in Mock Election by stating that Mock Election was overreacting to the Antifa attacks mentioned by the News Organization in Mock Election. That led Mia Santiago to lead a campaign for District One House against Matthew. She successfully won her bid in the Bull Moose Primary in a tightly contested race, that led to Matthew vowing to run again to take his seat. Yet, he at first decided to not run, he was later convinced by Luca Bennito and Monique Best, previously supporters of Mia, to run again as an Independent. This time he balked and decided to run for District One House. He won in the General Elections by a solid margin. Volfson remains to be a District One House Representative, and has had great popularity, even considering a Senate run. He has very high approval ratings from all parts of the political spectrum, from conservatives to progressives.  
His current net worth is 100,000 USD, 50,000 from being the owner of the Anti Corruption Organization and 50,000 from being a State Senator currently. He is running for D9 House. He won the Republican primary against Michael Walker by a solid margin and then went on to win the House unopposed.  
 
Matthew passed 4 pieces of his own legislation including the Rail Infrastructure Act of 2020(building new rails in South Dakota and renovating older ones), the Wooden Skyscraper Act of 2020(which incentivized corporations to use wooden materials ecologically in skyscrapers), the New Rail Infrastructure Act of 2020(adding on to the Rail Infrastructure Act of 2020 and bringing more rails to Jefferson and the South), and perhaps most important of all for mec at least, the Congressional Transparency Resolution of 2020(which gave ALL MEC members access to both the House and the Senate as a viewer of both, aiming to increase transparency and keep MEC officials accountable). 
 
Matthew passed one bill per week technically, although he worked on more than just those bills. He also worked on, by himself, 6 bills which passed the House and 5 bills which both passed the House and the Senate. He also worked with Senators Mark Kennedy Gallagher and Caleb Caron,Fmr. Senator David Soriano Garcia, and Fmr. Rep. Sheriff Yimby(ICE Reform and Voter Incentivization acts of 2020 and National Parks Act of 2020) on 3 additional bills in the House. In total, Matthew worked on and proposed 9 bills in his House term of 4 weeks. 
 
And as speaker, he kept the cabinet accountable and set precedent that all speakers should vet the cabinet for activity. He also created the first House website here: https://sites.google.com/view/mechouseofrepresentatives/home?authuser=0 and plans to continue creating another site if he is reelected to the speakership. He also played a role in encouraging event activity by posting about it and publicly advocating for it as well as discussing with Adam Evans on how to improve events as a whole.
