## Political career

Boomdodger has served in the Alverian government since its original founding. Aiding in organizing the first presidential elections, Boomdodger was a vocal supporter of Obama gameing's campaign. Obama would go on to become Alveria's first president, and Boomdodger became a close advisor and hand guiding Alveria towards its modern day, using his leverage as a successful businessman to promote the Obamium Party.

Eventually, Boomdodger would support the campaign of Beech93 against Obama. Boomdodger and Beech both left the Obamium Party to form the National Alliance. Beech93 would win the election and select Boomdodger as Alveria's first Secretary of Interior. He served in Beech's cabinet through his first term, and later left his position with the formation of the Alverian Senate, where Boomdodger ran for office under the National Alliance banner. On 12/11/2020, Boomdodger won the Senate election in District 1, and became the Senate Majority Leader. The next election took place on 12/26/2020, in which the National Alliance won a supermajority of 5/6 seats, and Boomdodger continued to serve as Majority Leader after winning in the newly-formed District 3.

Boomdodger continued to serve as Senate Majority Leader, winning District 3 in every election. His service eventually came to an end when he forfeited his seat by announcing his campaign for the Alverian presidency during the February 2021 election. Hoping to replace Beech93 in representing the National Alliance as president, Boomdodger went up against the Ba'ath Party chairman and the current Secretary of Justice, SwissMercenary3, a daunting political opponent. Boomdodger's campaigning highlighted his objectives to further beautify Alveria and its lighting, and further support the community through new-player starter kits and a community mining excavation. After an intense campaign against Swiss, Boomdodger was able to beat his opponent with 55% of the popular vote, winning 11-9.

Boomdodger ran for re-election to a second term, facing SwissMercenary3 in a re-match. After another intense campaign, Boomdoger prevailed by a larger margin than expected, winning with 63% of the popular vote, winning by 12-7.

Boomdodger declined to run for a third term and instead ran for Beech93's Senate seat in District 2 while Beech ran for President once again. Both Boomdodger and Beech93 were successful in their campaigns. Boomdodger went on to serve as Senator from District 2 from 4/2/21 for the remainder of the first Alverian world, and for several weeks into the new world. When the districts were redrawn for the July 2021 elections, Boomdodger returned to his old home in District 3. He continued to serve in District 3 under the National Alliance banner through the August elections.

On July 31, 2021, Boomdodger and Beech93 left the National Alliance and formed the Phalanx. The reasoning for their departure was a desire for more competition in the Alverian Senate, as well as disillusionment with their old party, believing their standards had been forsaken over time. They were the topic of much controversy going into the August election period, quickly gaining traction and even picking up ex-Bidome Party Senator and former Alverian president, Obama\_gameing along the way. Through a heated election, the Phalanx were able to gain a Senate majority with 5 seats, in which Boomdodger became the Senate Majority Leader once more. The Phalanx would go on to lead the Senate through the August midterms, where they are able to gain a supermajority by way of Senator Dangleoof, a National Alliance convert.

The September elections approached quickly, and the Phalanx put up Senator Obama\_gameing for the presidential race. They formed a coalition with the recently-formed Corvus, in which Thestarmacker would be Obama's vice president, marking the first bipartisan presidency in Alverian history. Going up against the incumbent GrassyPizza9-SwissMercenary3 presidency, Boomdodger took the helm in leading the Phalanx's campaign. Through the elections he produced several promotional posters and banners for the Obama-Star campaign, as well as prominent figures in the Phalanx. This proved fruitful as they would go on to win the election with 69.6% of the vote, and the Phalanx retained their supermajority of 6 seats by installing Austy908761 as District 2 Senator to replace Obama. In the wake of the new adminstration, Boomdodger was nominated as the Secretary of Interior. He currently serves as the Senate Majority Leader representing the Phalanx, as well as his third tenure as Secretary of Interior.
