Character State of Origin: OregonCharacter Affiliation: DemocratMain Strengths: Handsome, persuasive, wealthy, and well-connectedMain Weaknesses: Rumored to be ghastly corrupt and too "establishment" for many DemocratsShort Bio: Fairly was a successful attorney for years, working just outside of his hometown of Portland, Oregon for nearly twenty years. Toward the end of his legal career, he had won a high-profile legal case that catapulted his popularity and name recognition. He eventually decided to use his new-found fame to enter into politics, using his many connections he had made throughout his legal tenure. His first election was a spectacular success, winning almost 60% of the vote, and he took to the House of Representatives with a pledge to fight for a more transparent, reformed prison system as well as to sensibly balance the budget. After making sure those efforts were blunted in a back-room deal with several Republicans, he took to the streets and led several rallies back in Portland against corruption in Washington. This led to his popularity skyrocketing yet again, to the point of his election to the position of Governor of his home state of Oregon. He's very much a political moderate, but he does not care about politics all too much - rather, he's more interested in protecting and growing his brand. He is currently on his 2nd marriage, married to an A-list Hollywood actress, Jordan Busch-Fairley, and has three sons.Other Info: Much of his wealth was inherited from his parents and his grandparents, being that he hails from a family of societal elites, the so-called "one percent." Fairley's grandparents had inherited a railroad corporate conglomerate, which is still owned by Fairley's parents to this day. Thomas is currently in-line to inherit the business as well, but has suggested he will pass it on to his oldest son.
