## Biography

William George Harrison is a former United States Senator who represented the State of Liberty alongside Lyndon Cuemon. His accomplishments include a law degree and comp. sci. degree from Yale College. He grew up on a dairy/meat farm in Poughkeepsie with his family and 3 brothers. Together, they ran the farm day in and day out until he was granted a scholarship to Yale College in New Haven, CT, to study law. With on his pickup truck and a few boxes, he made the move to New Haven to study criminal law, where he graduated with a Master's Degree.

Soon after, he met his future wife, Rhonda, while he was in court defending a client. Young was a clerk at the time working for the Court. Several years later, the two married and Rhonda gave birth to their only daughter, Sarah. During this time, William was operating a small law firm with his close friend, Mia Faye, in the coveted town of West Point, Liberty.

In the mid 2000s, William, Rhonda and Sarah moved to Liberty City as he had been appointed to the Liberty County Superior Court as Chief Justice. He would serve as Chief Justice until 2013, where he retired and served a short career with WZL as their political analyst and coorespondent into 2016. The following year, after Sarah had moved out and was in college herself, William and Rhonda quietly divorced, with the two having been separated for the better half of a year beforehand. Nobody is really sure why they divorced, but he pressed on and continued with his law firm, which had grown to employ 6 attorneys including himself and Faye. The offices had moved into Liberty City as well, now residing in the famed Exchange district, sharing a home with the offices of Goldberg, Ligner and Shyster.

In 2020, Harrison was swiftly appointed to the role of United States Senator during the tenure of Ronald Gold, prior to his resignation as Governor of Liberty. In the Senate, Harrison quickly got to work, nearly uniting the Senate despite it's 50/50 split. He frequently worked with both Democrats and Republicans as the Minority Whip, frequently working on bills with Peter Chambers during his time in the Senate. Together, the two pushed out a bill that would begin a series of reforms of the correctional system across the nation. Alongside Agriculture Secretary Cosmic Miller, he attempted to move a bill into the Senate that would reduce the use of GMO products on farms and in food products. The bill was voted out of the Senate, and a replacement was not worked on.

In 2021, he ran for re-election in alongside Lyndon Cuemon, with both sweeping the polls and retaining their positions. He briefly campaigned for President of the United States before losing in the Republican primary to Mike Kushner. Following his loss in the primary, he shifted his focus back to the Senate, this time running as an independent. The pair currently hold the record for longest sitting Senators in the community, with two terms served.
