Bloomberg Girl

**Bloomberg Girl** (14th February 1951 - 24th March 2042) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Senator of New York from 1987-2023. She co-founded the Bloomberg News Network with her husband.

## Early life

Bloomberg was born on the 14th February, 1951, to upper middle class parents in New York City, NY. She studied at & graduated from Columbia University with a master's degree in Journalism. She married businessman Mike Bloomberg in 1975, and the two created the Bloomberg news & media network in 1981. They would remain married for over 60 years, until his death in 2038.

## U.S. Senate career

First elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, she defeated the incumbent National Conservative senator, Al D'Amato, who was seeking re-election to a second term. She had the backing of many U.S. officials, including the incumbent U.S. President John Guthrie, who rallied with her and endorsed her. She won 56.4% of the vote against D'Amato, and was sworn in 3rd January 1987. She was a popular figure with high name recognition, although was considered a major enemy by the National Conservatives, who saw her as a threat. Regardless of the party's views, many senators across the aisle welcomed her. With her major name recognition, and the seniority which comes from representing such a large state, she instantly became a leader in the U.S. Senate.

In 1992, she was seen as a major target for the National Conservatives. She was highly popular, and if she was defeated, the Liberal Democrats would take a huge hit in the Senate. However, this popularity extended to many members of the National Conservatives, who refused to go against her. Along with a similar dissatisfaction amongst state party representatives, and a high approval rating, she crushed her opponents, winning 88.7% of the vote in her re-election, the largest margin ever in New York history up to that point, and remains the largest margin of which the nominee had opposition.

However in 1998, she would yet again outperform herself, with the National Conservatives failing to yield a candidate by the deadline. She won re-election unopposed, with 100% of the vote. This remains the largest margin for a Senate Race in New York.

In 2001, her husband Mike Bloomberg was elected mayor of New York City, although as a National Conservative. They nevertheless strongly supported each other, and co-operated on issues within the state. She would later claim that his support was instrumental to winning wealthy voters in NYC despite her more working class-oriented rhetoric and work.

Because of her widespread support, she would continue to breeze easily to re-election in 2004, 2010, and 2016. She decided to retire rather than seeking another term in 2022. She was a good friend of Wabbit Portalpie, and the two worked together closely when he was elected President.

## Retirement, disappearance & death

In 2020, she announced her plans to retire from the Senate; to not seek re-election in 2022. Many across the political spectrum paid tribute, with her farewell speech on the floor of the Senate receiving a standing ovation. The decision came as a surprise to many who knew her, as she had hinted towards a run for another term, and had no major reason to retire. However, in 2021, her public appearances became less frequent. She disappeared in January 2021, and an investigation went into the issue. She confirmed that she was "alive and well" in April 2021, although would be very busy. She appeared & spoke at her husband's funeral in 2038, and she herself would die of natural causes in 2042, at the age of 91.

Bloomberg News has been defunct since 2020.
