### Governorship of Frontier State

After President Cornelius "Corn Pop" Papinski was elected, Cawthorn decided to take a break from Federal Politics. He resigned as the President's Secretary of State, walking away from the 3rd highest ranking position in the Executive Branch and went back to his beloved Frontier. He saw the upcoming election as an opportunity to run for the Governorship. He announced his candidacy on March 10th, 2033. He won with no opposition.

Following that EO, he continued to pass significant legislation to improve the lives of Frontier residents, skyrocketing his populatrity.
