Willi Stoph

Willi Stoph is a Falleen politician and member of parliament for the Popular Republican Movement. He formerly served as the Secretary (and later Under-Secretary) of Infrastructure and Transport in the Willy Brandt Cabinets. He is the former Chairman of PRM's left-wing Activist Caucus. His tenure in the cabinet was marked by the passing of a ten billion Fall infrastructure spending package, the first of its kind in decades
=== PRM Leadership Candidate ===
Stoph ran in the Popular Republican Leadership Challenge of 580AER as a left-wing alternative to incumbent Parliamentary Leader Sheldon Whitehouse. Stoph's candidacy proposed policies such as major federal investments and universal healthcare. Despite being to the left of the party's mainstream, Stoph's résumé and bold policy ideas struck a chord with many PRM voters, and he proved to be Whitehouse's main rival. However, a last minute surge in support allowed Whitehouse to win re-election as parliamentary leader with more than 50% of the vote on the first ballot, thus denying Stoph the chance to run head-to-head against him.
