George Cross

== Political Ventures ==
George Cross had spoken up about politics in the past and was a strong Republican, but never really got too involved. That is until 9/29/18, when George announced a long-planned bid for District 5 House.
=== First House Bid ===
George's first house bid came as quite as a surprise. However, he campaigned heavily. A mostly joke account Don Blankenship (a suspected alternate account) announced his candidacy against George, however, Don never registered as a candidate and was very inactive. George Technically ran unopposed for the primary. In the general election he faced off against Democrat Theo Harper and Independent Adam Smith. George led in polls leading up to the election, the race was rated from Tossup to Tilt R. George won the election overwhelmingly with 58.73% of the vote to Adam Smith's 17.46% and Theo Harpers 12.70%. There was 11.11% percent of writ- in votes.
=== House Re-Election Bid===
George's Re-Election Bid came as no surprise, but he did have an opponent in the primary. George managed to beat JackM Vlogs by a wide margin but then moved on to a stronger challenge. Grover T, the Democratic nominee took many jabs at George after the debate between the 2, attempting to chip away at his support base. Grover T was expected to lose the election by a wide margin, so much so that he admitted he would probably lose. When election day came, and the election's turnout was higher than the polls, Grover surged higher than George at the beginning. As the day went on however, George's numbers began to increase, and the 2 were left neck and neck with George barely leading. In the end, voter turnout stagnated and George secured Re-election.
