## Early Life

Damian was born to a family of immigrants in Austin, Texas. He was the first natural born US citizen on his fathers side and a fifth generation on his mother's side. His little brother was born into his little Hispanic-European family but, soon their family split. His mother and father divorced when he was in kindergarten. His time was split between his mother's house and his father's. His life was slowly and slowly becoming normal and he lived through this split life for several years. Tragedy struck his life at ten when his mother died of natural causes. That same year Damian's father married his other father and the family moved to Boulder, CO in West.

## Education and Young Adult Life

Damian graduated with honors and several endorsements on his diploma. He began his Political Science major at Sam Houston State University. He met his husband, Levi Starkin, there. He graduated with his undergrad and then moved to Harvard Law School. He was elected the first Hispanic LGBTQIA+ president of the Harvard Law Review. He started dating Levi Starkin and continued with education. He eventually graduated Summa Cum Laude from Harvard Law School and went back to West to start a law practice with his husband Johnathan Brandenburg.

## Political Career

In 2011, Damian was elected as a member of Boulder City Council serving concurrently in that position and as a managing partner at Ramirez, Brandenburg & Co with his husband. In 2020, Damian was elected chair of the Democratic Party with his vice-chair Sophia Kennedy, proving once and for all the New Progressive movement would not end and took the party in a new direction by proposing a new charter. He helped clear the path for James Rosaire, a communist progressive, to win the presidency and the Democratic nomination, beating out neoliberal stalwart Joe Biden and old generation progressive Elizabeth Warren. That same election Ramirez was elected governor of the west and proposed one of the most progressive, but effective constitutions ever, he was also elected chair of the National Governors Association, appoint conservative Republican Jaiden as his deputy. In 2022, he defeated incumbent Amelia Carter, to become the Junior Senator from West in a major upset. During that congress, Damian was voted in as Senate Majority Leader and was heavily effective, being generally well liked except for one upset where he motioned to vacate the President Pro Tempore, Adlai Stevenson II. In 2023, Ramirez decided that enough was enough, after three inactive presidents, Rosaire, his Vice President, Jeremy Ulyanov, and then the speaker Chips he decided to run for president under the democratic ticket and beat out the incumbent president by a very small percentage. He chose Tim Amash to be his vice-presidential nominee and together they defeated CJ Gregg by a large margin, sweeping 2/3 of the states and tying the other. There was, however, substantial push back from the massive presidential by the GOP, the president-elect eventually had to have a sit-down meeting with the former speaker and make a deal that he would call his supporters off. The election was certified and Damian was sworn into office, as the first gay man, first non-traditional gendered, and hispanic son of immigrants to hold that office. Ramirez nominated almost all of his secretary and a strong liberal majority of the court as well as most of cabinet almost instantaneously, which gave him much mixed reviews. As president Ramirez has called for mass reform, including the passage of a Green New Deal, Medicaid for all, labour reform and many other democratic socialist polices, he ensured that he would govern under a democratic majority in both houses.
