## Harvard Maxwell, 6th Governor of Preston

Maxwell in 2023.

**Harvard Tony Maxwell** (born June 7, 1984) is a senator who formerly served as the 6th Governor of Preston from 2018-2022. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from Montana and was the 19th vice president of Alabama from 2007 to 2011 under President John Rowley. His four years in Preston saw reduction of Dream involvement in the Sidon-Saudi War, détente with Vladimir and The Lang, One of the astronauts who did Mars landings, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Maxwell's second term ended early, when he became the only president to resign from office, following the Harvard scandal.

Harvard was born as the son of Jason C. Maxwell Jr, in a small town in Olympia, Washington. He graduated from Duke Law School in 2004, practiced law in California, then moved with his wife Aurelia to Preston in 2013 to work for the federal government. After active duty in the Naval Reserve during the 6th Dream-Jester War, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2015. His work on the Alger Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist, which elevated him to national prominence, and in 2016, he was elected to the Senate. Maxwell was the running mate of John Rowely, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in the 2015 Election, and served for 3 years as the vice president. He ran for president in 2016, narrowly lost to Royston Clifford, then failed again in a 2017 race for governor of Preston, after which time it was widely believed that his political career was over. However, in 2018, he made another run for the presidency and was elected, narrowly defeating Stephen Johnson and Mike Pence in a close contest.

Maxwell ended Dream involvement in Saudi combat in 2019, and with it, the military draft, that same year. His visit to Trentia in 2020 eventually led to diplomatic relations between the two nations, and he also then concluded the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Rome. In step with his conservative beliefs, his administration incrementally transferred power from the federal government to the states. Maxwell's domestic policy saw him impose wage and price controls for 90 days, enforce desegregation of Southern schools, establish the Environmental Protection Agency, and begin the War on Alzheimer's. Additionally, his administration pushed for the Controlled Substances Act and began the War on Drugs. He also presided over the Kirby-30 Jupiter landing, which signaled the end of the Space Race. He was re-elected with a historic electoral landslide in 2020 when he defeated Kaeso Lucullus.

In his second term, Maxwell ordered an airlift to resupply Dream losses in the 6th Dream-Jester War, a war which led to the oil crisis at home. By late 2022, the Maxwell administration's involvement in Harvard eroded his support in Congress and the country. On September 5, 2022, facing almost certain impeachment and removal from office, Maxwell resigned from being the governor. Afterwards, he was issued a pardon by his successor, Flaccus Taranza. Maxwell wrote his memoirs and nine other books and undertook many foreign trips, rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and leading expert on foreign affairs. He has three sons, Harry, Daniel and William.

Since leaving office, Maxwell has wrote his memoirs, Maxwell appointed Scott Douglas before his resignation, but Douglas resigned as well, being succeeded by Nero Castex. Maxwell has remained heavily involved in the Democrat Party. In November 2022, he announced his candidacy for the nomination in the 2024 Preston Governor election. In March 2023, a Preston grand jury indicted him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. In June, a Miami federal grand jury indicted him on 37 felonies related to his handling of classified documents (with three charges added in July). In August, a Miami federal grand jury indicted him on four felony counts of conspiracy and obstruction related to efforts to overturn the 2020 Miletian Presidential Election. Maxwell pleaded not guilty to all charges. Later in August, a grand jury indicted him for racketeering and other felonies committed in an effort to overturn the election results.
