Jeremy Primemewtwo (Deceased)

Thomas Jeremy Primemewtwo (October 10, 1980-October 14, 2050), was an American Politician and union organizer. He served as the Secretary of Labor under President Ron Swanson from 2048 until his assassination in 2050, and in the House of Representatives from 2026 to 2048. A member of the Socialist Unity Party, he has also served as House Majority Leader, House Minority Whip, and Secretary of Energy. In 2049, Primemewtwo was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Swanson "for services rendered in the day to day business of congress."
== Personal Life==
Jeremy Primemewtwo was born in 1980 to a poor working family. He dropped out of high school at 17 to get employed in the same factory his father worked at. At the age of 19, he joined the local union and began campaigning for improved working conditions and better pay for his fellow workers. Throughout his 26 years as a union organizer, he gained great support and recognition from politicians and union members alike but realized that nothing had fundamentally changed despite his efforts. Thus, he decided to go into politics.
Primemewtwo remained unmarried. His father died in a factory accident at the age of 47 in 2001, and his mother would later succumb to a heart attack at the age of 51 in 2007. In 2009, he adopted then-3-year-old Lewis Primemewtwo as his son. He lived in Detroit throughout his life and was a lifelong Presbyterian.
==US Representative==
=== Election ===
At the urging of several of his fellow union members, Primemewtwo ran for the House of Representatives in 2026 for the Democratic Party. Contrary to many other politicians, he did not accept donations from big companies, lobbyists, or other politicians. While his campaign was small, his message of Worker's rights, a more even distribution of wealth, and tackling climate change helped propel him to victory.
===First years===
Jeremy Primemewtwo was sworn in as a Member of the House on January 28th, 2026. Despite the Democrats being in the minority, Primemewtwo worked hard to ensure that bills he supported would pass the House. His main agenda, increasing workers' and union's rights, led to him supporting much of the agenda of Levi Starkin. Primemewtwo endorsed North Mandela for President in 2028. 
===House Minority Whip===
Against little opposition, Primemewtwo was elected House Minority Whip in 2028. As whip, he helped champion several of the important pieces of Mandela's Agenda. However, the 121st congress was marred by inactivity: Speaker John Boehner and his deputy speaker Cornelius "Corn Pop" Papinski refused to hold a single session of the House of Representatives for an extended period, which severely hampered the President's ability to pass the legislature. During the Midterms, Primemewtwo heavily criticized the Republican-controlled legislature for being highly unproductive, and this significantly helped Democrats gain the house during the 2030 midterms. 
===Secretary of Energy===
Primemewtwo was appointed by President Mandela to serve as his Secretary of Energy in 2029. His tenure saw an increase in the use of green energy and an increase in working conditions in the Energy industry. One of his major efforts as Secretary was to help increase clean energy usage in the Northeast, by using a $340M grant from the Treasury to help develop infrastructure in the state. He resigned as Secretary of Energy in 2030, following his reelection as Representative.
===122nd Congress: House Majority Leader===
As former Minority Leader Damian Ramirez retired from the house to run for Senator, Primemewtwo was elected as House Majority leader in 2031. The first few months of the 122nd congress were marred by confusion and conflict, as Republican Corn Pop was surprisingly elected as Speaker over Democrat EatTin Munro. This led to Munro and Primemewtwo motioning to remove the Speaker for unilaterally changing the house rules and electing a new one a few months later, which eventually ended up with Munro in the speakership. Over time, the House became far more productive, and much legislation was passed during the period, greatly benefitting Americans. 
===123rd to 126th Congress ===
After the Democrats lost control of the House in 2032, Primemewtwo chose not to run for House Minority Leader and was succeeded by Herb Sokolovskis. Following the creation of committees, Primemewtwo was appointed Ranking member of the Education, Energy, Commerce & Labor Committee (EECL) and a member of the Judiciary Committee. From here he continued to work in support of workers' rights.
Following the Democrat's major victory in the 2034 election, Primemewtwo was appointed as Chairman of the Judiciary committee. He oversaw the passage of multiple bills and used a unique method of voting to help increase activity. He was also appointed as Chairman of the EECL Committee after the 2036 election.
Primemewtwo left the Democratic Party in 2038 and joined the Workers Party soon after. He continued to caucus with the Democrats.
===2037 Run for Governor===
Primemewtwo declared his candidacy for the 2037 Governor's election back in 2036. He launched a solid campaign, calling for expanding infrastructure in rural areas, codifying the right to form a union and the improvement of healthcare and education in the state. He lost to his opponent and centrist democrat Matt Watson after several republicans lent their support to him, seeing Primemewtwo as too progressive.
===Return to Majority Leader===
Primemewtwo was elected as Majority leader again at the start of the 127th congress. His leadership skills were soon tested through the election of Republican Ron DeSantis over Democrat Damian Ramirez as Speaker. He managed to force the Speaker into giving concessions to the House Democratic Caucus in terms of Congressional assignments and organized the House Democrats to ensure that such a shock vote will not happen again. Among the major bills passed during this period were the Impeachment of John Bacon, SJ21Res5 (a statehood bill allowing the US territories to vote for Statehood), and the Cleaning Up Act. As a Workers Party member leading a major party's caucus, Primemewtwo use his position to negotiate concessions for the working class.
=== Final years in Congress ===
Primemewtwo lost the leadership election to Ryan Lemonboy in 2042 but continued to be influential through his position as Dean of the House. As the house became more and more inactive, Primemewtwo actively sought to increase activity among congressmen, though the house continued to drag its feet on major pieces of legislation. He was critical in rallying support for President Ron Swanson's elections in 2044.
Primemewtwo was elected Chair of the Workers Party in 2046, and soon engages in talks with his close ally and Vanguard Party leader Chase Beckham for a merger. The merger was subsequently approved by both parties, and this resulted in the formation of the Socialist Unity Party, whom Primemewtwo was part of the Central Committee.
Primemewtwo lost the 2048 house election in the Midwest, which was largely credited to the state's rightward shift. Soon afterwards, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ron Swanson.
== Post-congressional career ==
After leaving office, Primemewtwo continued to be active within the SUP, becoming the first East Coast Regional Leader.
=== Secretary of Labor ===
Primemewtwo was nominated by Swanson to be America's first Secretary of Labor in 20 years. He was swiftly confirmed by the Senate. Upon taking office, he made sweeping changes to reform and improve the Labor Department, returning it to its former glory. He also published new anti-discriminatory guidelines in the workplace.
== Assassination ==
On 14 October 2050, while giving a speech announcing his retirement from politics, Primemewtwo was shot by an unknown assailant. He was taken to the hospital but died 5 hours later due to excessive blood loss. The assailant was subsequently arrested and detained by the police, who conducted a background check that showed his far-right views which likely motivated the killing.
Tributes to the late Primemewtwo poured in throughout the country, led by his Chief of Staff Stevenson Primemewtwo (not related).
