Policy director: AMANDA GARCIA(She/Her)

Bio: Amanda grew up with a simple dream. To become the very best pokemon trainer in all of Senate. But alas, not all dreams were meant to be because one day she had a chance encounter with Jay Hartzell, man of her dreams, and everything changed. As her and Jay went on a months like escapade to Oxford, the learned about the injustice of the world, how most billionaires can barely afford their third yacht due to rising inflation and tax hikes on the wealthy. Now Amanda toils tirelessly everyday to fight for the rich and eat the poor.
