Rocket Man

Audentes' congressional portrait.

National Rightist Party (2052-2057)

Collapsifarian Party (2058)

Republican Party (2059-2061)

**Audentes** was a member of the **Mock Elections and Government Simulation Community**. His party affiliation was with the **Republican Party**. He served as House Representative for **New York's 11th congressional district** from 2048 to 2050, but decided not to file for re-election. In 2057, he was elected **Governor of Vermont.** He resigned in 2060 to serve in his new office of **Connecticut Senator**.

## 2048 House election

Rocket Man joined the MEGS community before the 2048 elections. On Election Day, before his election was projected, it appeared that the House of Representatives would be split between the **NDP Party** and NCP. This caused candidate Rocket Man to release a statement on the speakership, voicing that he would support the NCP choice over the NDP.

**Waluigi News** projected a victory for Rocket Man with 96.3% of the vote. Representative-elect Rocket Man then released a statement thanking his voters.

As Representative, Rocket Man voted in-line with most of his colleagues, caucusing with the NCP. He co-sponsored a bill to prevent insider trading, and introduced a bill, the **FAIR Education Act**, that would prevent indoctrination in the public school system. After one amendment, the FAIR Education Act passed the House overwhelmingly. It passed the Senate, but was vetoed by newly-elected **President Beto** of the NDP.

In late 2048, when outgoing **President Addison** gave the duties of the office to **Vice President Alamkan M. Countryball Sr**, Alamkan signed a bill making **Big Chungus Day**. Rocket Man, among others, pressured the incoming Beto administration not to remove it. **New Vice President Astro** agreed to not remove it.

Despite many calls to, Representative Rocket Man did not object to the results of the 2048 presidential election. While citing its closeness, he congratulated the incoming administration.

## 2052 unsuccessful campaigns

Rocket decided to run for his old House seat and Delaware Senate. He initiated his campaign in early 2051 at a campaign rally in Dover, Delaware with special guest, former President Alamkan. He held several campaign operations and tours.

A challenger filed for the NY-11 election named **Tino Westbrook**, and went on to win the general election. It was later unearthed that the account was an undisclosed alt of **Senator Augustus Powers** and Westbrook left Congress before the next election. Powers was later banned from the simulation for toxicity and slurs.

Rocket also lost to **Cookie-Anarcho Noelle** in the Delaware Senate race.

## 2057 gubernatorial election

Rebranded, returning from a hiatus, and living in a new state, Brooklyn Paleocon ran in the Vermont gubernatorial election and won. From that point onward, he returned to the simulation as a prominent right-wing voice.

## 2060 Senatorial election

Brooklyn resigned as Vermont Governor to launch a successful Senatorial campaign in Connecticut, winning the election against an NCP challenger.

## Retirement

After allegations of ethics violations on the Senate floor, Audentes retired in 2061, thanking America for their trust in him over the years and pledging that it was his time to step down.
