Male

He was appointed to the seat of Based Politician, who had resigned to become Vice President of the United States. Schultz won the right to continue the term in the 2086 special election, and eventually winning a full term in 2088. However, he had to drop his 2094 re-election plans after a scandal involving him using racial slurs towards his junior Senator during a meeting eventually lead to his censure by the U.S. Senate.

An avid denier of climate change, and an anti-vaxxer, he was criticized by scientists as "perhaps the most dangerous threat to modern science". Schultz proposed an amendment outlawing gay marriage, which was eventually labeled the "Schultz Amendment". He never managed to get many votes in favour of his amendment.

Senator Leon Trotsky labelled him as "The largest downgrade from common sense in human history", referring to Schultz's predecessor, Alamkan M. Countryball Sr, as "common sense".

Schultz was a heavy drinker, and in April 2096, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He rapidly deteriorated, passing away about 3 weeks after his diagnosis.

## Early life & Arrest for hate speech

**WARNING: This section includes racial slurs.**

Schultz was born in Fresno, California on October 14th, 2013. He studied law at California State University, Fresno, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Law. Schultz was known as a quiet child, never speaking much. He moved to Alaska in 2036, and became a professor at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska in 2040. However, he created controversy in 2043 when he called one of his African-American co-workers a "nut-headed kaffir". Schultz was fired from his job, and was arrested for committing the hate crime. He was found guilty, and served 8 months in prison.

## Later life

After the controversy, he struggled to find work anywhere in Fairbanks. He moved to Anchorage, and ran for a seat on the Anchorage Assembly. He won in a narrow race, and was soon elected Mayor of Anchorage in 2060. Controversy arose when his 2063 opponent brought up the attack on his colleague, though Schultz managed to deflect the cases, and was re-elected by a margin of 1.2%. He left office in 2066, term-limited. He won election to the 36th district of the State House in 2070, and served until his appointment to the U.S. Senate.

## House run (2072)

Kane ran against Michael Rothbauer for the Republican nomination for the 2072 special election to fill the House seat vacated by Based Politician. Kane ended up losing 47.3% - 52.6%.

## House run (2082)

Schultz announced his plan to run for Alaska's 1st Congressional District in 2082, giving speeches wherever he could. He faced Harry Poland, who was the Progressive challenger. Poland ended up defeating Schultz in a 9-point margin.

## Appointment to the U.S. Senate & Senate Tenure (2085-2095)

Schultz was appointed to fill Based Politician's seat, while the other was under dispute. He was a very skilled legislator, yet received hefty criticism for his racist past. The 2086 Congressional Survey placed Schultz as the most conservative member of the entire U.S. Congress, namely for his Schultz Amendment, which would've banned gay marriage nation-wide, as well as his past as a racist, for which Schultz never apologized for, instead "proudly owning his past, like showcasing a medal, or a trophy", in the words of Schultz's own son.
