Founded on October 5th, 2022, the New American Left was primarily built by [[Irene Taylor]] alongside [[Dushon Marshall]], [[Koko]], [[Oliwer Stołów]] and [[Bruce Hill]], in response to the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the [[Lone Star Ranch Siege]] that initiated it. The New American Left is a big-tent party, coalescing a number of generally liberal and progressive views under a unified political umbrella. Its party platform advocates for greater support for American unions, greater funding for green energy technology, and a fill-the-potholes policy in regards to national infrastructure, among several affirmations of the rights of minority groups and the impoverished. Since the Small Exodus, the party's politics have continually trended toward left of center.<br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[New American Left National Committee]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. While designed as a decentralized body, constitutional conventions held since the party's founding have put more power into the hands of the National Committee. The [[NALNC]] was initially lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator. The position was later consolidated into the position of Party Chair and granted greater inter-governing ability. The first and only individual to hold the title of FEC Coordinator was [[Irene Taylor]], who, following the party's Second Constitutional Convention, was elected Party Chair and has served as such ever since.<br /> <br /> The NAL won a majority of seats in both the [[House of Representatives]] and the [[Senate]] in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers. The party's present control of Congress has been marked by several controversies, including the Greyson Tax Scandal, the Small Exodus, and general accusations of involvement with former Dixie Attorney General Draven Prince. Several members of the NAL Caucus were involved in both resolving and propagating dimensions of the Ddet Patent Controversy. Pundits agree that the New American Left is, post-Exodus, in the process of recalibrating its political ideology and legislative agenda. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Background ===<br /> Prior to the establishment of the New American Left, left-leaning politics in the United States was in a severe state of disarray, incurred by the dissolution of the long-standing [[Global Labor Party]] and the subsequent dissolution of the short-lived [[Democratic Party]].<br /> <br /> The [[Global Labor Party]] served as the nation's home for left-leaning ideals for several years, notably as an explicitly far left organization, coalescing both communist and socialist political agendas. The Global Labor Party was a significant political force in the United States and secured strong showings in the Senate and House and, furthermore, the Presidency under President Sysadmin. However, beginning on July 27, 2022, the Public Banking Act Crisis and the several controversies and scandals that followed overshadowed otherwise meaningful gains and, on September 15, 2022, the party dissolved. Public reaction to this period of instability was overwhelmingly negative, with several polls showing growing distrust of and disdain for the GLP as it neared its dissolution.<br /> <br /> Nation-wide disapproval for left-leaning political organizations was only further cemented by the short-lived [[Democratic Party]]. On September 28, 2022, just thirteen days after the Global Labor Party's dissolution, high-profile members of the Democratic Party were involved in the [[Lone Star Ranch Shootout]] that left two federal officers dead and another two severely injured. The Democratic Party then dissolved, a day later, on September 29, 2022. President Walks, shortly before his resignation, issued presidential pardons to both Wazowski and Berry, incurring wide-spread ire from both the public and political worlds.<br /> <br /> The dual resignation of President Sysadmin and his successor President Walks, alongside the dual crises of the [[Public Banking Act Crisis]] and the [[Lone Star Ranch Shootout]], dissolved both respective parties and led not only to a mass-exodus of leftist officials and politicians from political life but an exodus, albeit smaller, of citizens from left-leaning politics in general.<br /> <br /> === Formation ===<br /> With no left-leaning national party, members of the public, alongside former politicians, sought to reunite the left under a new banner and new organization. Conversations surrounding this topic were instigated almost immediately upon the dissolution of the Democratic Party, with would-be founders Bruce Hill, Irene Taylor, and Koko beginning the preliminary phases in late September. Initial conceptions of the party varied, with some advocating for a streamlined and agenda-heavy organization while others championed a broader, big-tent organization instead. While the latter was eventually agreed to, the former has taken hold of the party in recent weeks.<br /> <br /> On October 3, 2022, left-leaning political organization ''Erasmus'' published an interview with Irene Taylor, announcing the former of the New American Left. Taylor went on to describe the party as a symbol of hope for disenfranchised leftists, liberals, and progressives who were without party or support after the period of instability left by the GLP and the Democratic Party. Public reaction to the article was mixed, with its writer even detailing the massive efforts the NAL would have to undertake to reverse the course of leftist politics in the United States and gain back the trust and confidence of the public.<br /> <br /> The New American Left announced its official formation on October 5, 2022, ratifying its party constitution and party platform with unanimous consent.<br /> <br /> === Early days ===<br /> === Congressional control === <br /> ==== Greyson Tax Scandal ==== <br /> <br /> On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.<br /> <br /> President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.<br /> <br /> As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.<br /> <br /> ==== The Small Exodus ====<br /> From December 20, 2022, to December 23, 2022, prominent members of the NAL left the organization in a string of departures that deepened internal divides and more widely publicized the seeming inability of the party to govern and sustain its caucuses in the House and Senate. <br /> <br /> On December 20, 2022, NAL Party Chair [[Irene Taylor]] announced on Twitter that Representative Kammerer was no longer a member of the party. The expulsion and public admittance of such followed several apparent spats between governing members of the NAL and Kammerer himself. Prior to his removal, Representative Kammerer endorsed John Smith, a controversial member of the [[Libertarian-Republican Party]], against NAL member and party-endorsed candidate Justin.<br /> <br /> Shortly thereafter, Secretary Koko, a founding member of the NAL itself, Tweeted his departure from the party on December 21, 2022. The leave came after clear differences between Koko and other members of the NAL, as the Secretary voiced his disdain with the Corporate Tax Act and his support of Jefferson's refusal of new federal taxes during debates earlier in the month. Koko's departure occurred during a notorious slog of inactivity in the House, as twelve members' failure to vote on a bill was widely publicized on the same day. Less than twenty four hours later, Dushon Marshall tentatively left politics before returning to the scene and registering himself as an independent. Marshall was a prominent member of the party during his tenure under their poltical banner in the House. His resignation from the [[NALNC]], in concurrence with Koko's, left the NAL's governing body two members down, an absence it continues to maintain.<br /> <br /> The trio of departures marked a Small Exodus from the NAL and all but collapsed the party's more moderate wing. Without the more conservative voices of Koko and Kammerer to hold the party near the center-left, remaining members have increasingly pushed the NAL toward a more overt and legislatively evident progressivism.<br /> === Post-Exodus recalibration ===</div>

Public reaction to this period of instability was overwhelmingly negative, with several polls showing growing distrust of and disdain for the GLP as it neared its dissolution.<br /> <br /> Nation-wide disapproval for left-leaning political organizations was only further cemented by the short-lived [[Democratic Party]]. On September 28, 2022, just thirteen days after the Global Labor Party's dissolution, high-profile members of the Democratic Party were involved in the [[Lone Star Ranch Shootout]] that left two federal officers dead and another two severely injured. The Democratic Party then dissolved, a day later, on September 29, 2022. President Walks, shortly before his resignation, issued presidential pardons to both Wazowski and Berry, incurring wide-spread ire from the public and the political world alike.<br /> <br /> The dual resignation of President Sysadmin and his successor President Walks, alongside the dual crises of the [[Public Banking Act Crisis]] and the [[Lone Star Ranch Shootout]], dissolved both respective parties and led not only to a mass-exodus of leftist officials and politicians from political life but an exodus, albeit smaller, of citizens from left-leaning politics in general.<br /> <br /> === Formation ===<br /> With no left-leaning national party, members of the public, alongside former politicians, sought to reunite the left under a new banner and new organization. Conversations surrounding this topic were instigated almost immediately upon the dissolution of the Democratic Party, with would-be founders Bruce Hill, Irene Taylor, and Koko beginning the preliminary phases in late September. Initial conceptions of the party varied, with some advocating for a streamlined and agenda-heavy organization while others championed a broader, big-tent organization instead. While the latter was eventually agreed to, the former has taken hold of the party in recent weeks.<br /> <br /> On October 3, 2022, left-leaning political organization ''Erasmus'' published an interview with Irene Taylor, announcing the former of the New American Left. Taylor went on to describe the party as a symbol of hope for disenfranchised leftists, liberals, and progressives who were without party or support after the period of instability left by the GLP and the Democratic Party. Public reaction to the article was mixed, with its writer even detailing the massive efforts the NAL would have to undertake to reverse the course of leftist politics in the United States and gain back the trust and confidence of the public.<br /> <br /> The New American Left announced its official formation on October 5, 2022, ratifying its party constitution and party platform with unanimous consent.<br /> <br /> === Early days ===<br /> === Congressional control === <br /> ==== Greyson Tax Scandal ==== <br /> <br /> On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.<br /> <br /> President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.<br /> <br /> As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.<br /> <br /> ==== The Small Exodus ====<br /> From December 20, 2022, to December 23, 2022, prominent members of the NAL left the organization in a string of departures that deepened internal divides and more widely publicized the seeming inability of the party to govern and sustain its caucuses in the House and Senate. <br /> <br /> On December 20, 2022, NAL Party Chair [[Irene Taylor]] announced on Twitter that Representative Kammerer was no longer a member of the party. The expulsion and public admittance of such followed several apparent spats between governing members of the NAL and Kammerer himself. Prior to his removal, Representative Kammerer endorsed John Smith, a controversial member of the [[Libertarian-Republican Party]], against NAL member and party-endorsed candidate Justin.<br /> <br /> Shortly thereafter, Secretary Koko, a founding member of the NAL itself, Tweeted his departure from the party on December 21, 2022. The leave came after clear differences between Koko and other members of the NAL, as the Secretary voiced his disdain with the Corporate Tax Act and his support of Jefferson's refusal of new federal taxes during debates earlier in the month. Koko's departure occurred during a notorious slog of inactivity in the House, as twelve members' failure to vote on a bill was widely publicized on the same day. Less than twenty four hours later, Dushon Marshall tentatively left politics before returning to the scene and registering himself as an independent. Marshall was a prominent member of the party during his tenure under their poltical banner in the House. His resignation from the [[NALNC]], in concurrence with Koko's, left the NAL's governing body two members down, an absence it continues to maintain.<br /> <br /> The trio of departures marked a Small Exodus from the NAL and all but collapsed the party's more moderate wing. Without the more conservative voices of Koko and Kammerer to hold the party near the center-left, remaining members have increasingly pushed the NAL toward a more overt and legislatively evident progressivism.<br /> === Post-Exodus recalibration ===</div>

Founded on October 5th, 2022, the New American Left was primarily built by [[Irene Taylor]] alongside [[Dushon Marshall]], [[Koko]], [[Oliwer Stołów]] and [[Bruce Hill]], in response to the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the [[Lone Star Ranch Siege]] that initiated it. The New American Left is a big-tent party, coalescing a number of generally liberal and progressive views under a unified political umbrella. Its party platform advocates for greater support for American unions, greater funding for green energy technology, and a fill-the-potholes policy in regards to national infrastructure, among several affirmations of the rights of minority groups and the impoverished. Since the Small Exodus, the party's politics have continually trended toward left of center.<br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[New American Left National Committee]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. While designed as a decentralized body, constitutional conventions held since the party's founding have put more power into the hands of the National Committee. The [[NALNC]] was initially lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator.

The first and only individual to hold the title of FEC Coordinator was [[Irene Taylor]], who, following the party's Second Constitutional Convention, was elected Party Chair and has served as such ever since.<br /> <br /> The NAL won a majority of seats in both the [[House of Representatives]] and the [[Senate]] in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers.

<p>Irenetaylor: </p> <hr /> <div>The New American Left National Committee (NALNC) is the governing body of the [[New American Left]]. <br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Committees ===<br /> ==== First Committee ====<br /> The founding members of the party, [[Irene Taylor]], [[Oliwer Stołów]], [[Bruce Hill]], [[Dushon Marshall]], and [[Koko]], comprised the party's first National Committee. Its primary activities surrounded further coalescing and forming the New American Left as a possible home for disenfranchised leftists, liberals, and progressives. To both internal and external disagreement, the First National Committee voted against nominating a party candidate for the 2022 November Presidential election, citing in a released memo the relative youth of the party and its relative lack of manpower, campaign resources, and political capital.<br /> <br /> ==== Second Committee ====<br /> Bruce Hill, party founder and central propagator of the party's growth and eventual success, resigned on October 29, 2022. [[Tonantzin Mariategui]] was elected to fill the open seat in a party-wide special election. The Second National Committee was short-lived and served as a placeholder between the First and Third.<br /> <br /> ==== Third Committee ====<br /> While the First National Committee was composed only of party founders, the Third National Committee was subject to a party-wide election. Nine members in all ran for the five seats. Irene Taylor and Dushon Marshall remained on the committee, with Joey DiCarlo and Esteban joining as new members during the first round of voting, and Koko securing his spot on the committee after a runoff against Tonantzin Mariategui and [[Chuck Stewart]]. Tonantzin Mariategui and Oliwer Stołów lost their seats. <br /> <br /> The Third National Committee was the most active, controversial, and involved of any New American Left governing body. The Third National Committee oversaw the party's success in the November 2022 federal elections, wherein the party stampeded to a veto-proof majority in the House and a bare majority in the Senate. Among the Third National Committee's central actions was the passage of several constitutional amendments, the coordination of its new caucuses, and the controversial expulsion of Representative Kammerer from the party. The Third National Committee also met with former Attorney General Draven Prince, a point of contention and controversy in the party's future.<br /> <br /> The Third National Committee also oversaw and was directly involved in the Small Exodus. Committee members Koko and Dushon Marshall left the party within days of each other in late December, suddenly leaving two seats in the body absent. The party's internal governance and coordination stagnated as a result, with member activity outside the party stalling for several weeks as well.<br /> <br /> However, in the brief period between Koko's resignation and Marshall's departure, the National Committee passed the ''Five Points Forward'' plan, a non-binding legislative agenda to guide members of the party in the formulation of bills and congressional measures.

<p>Irenetaylor: /* Third Committee */</p> <hr /> <div>The New American Left National Committee (NALNC) is the governing body of the [[New American Left]]. <br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Committees ===<br /> ==== First Committee ====<br /> The founding members of the party, [[Irene Taylor]], [[Oliwer Stołów]], [[Bruce Hill]], [[Dushon Marshall]], and [[Koko]], comprised the party's first National Committee. Its primary activities surrounded further coalescing and forming the New American Left as a possible home for disenfranchised leftists, liberals, and progressives. To both internal and external disagreement, the First National Committee voted against nominating a party candidate for the 2022 November Presidential election, citing in a released memo the relative youth of the party and its relative lack of manpower, campaign resources, and political capital.<br /> <br /> ==== Second Committee ====<br /> Bruce Hill, party founder and central propagator of the party's growth and eventual success, resigned on October 29, 2022. [[Tonantzin Mariategui]] was elected to fill the open seat in a party-wide special election. The Second National Committee was short-lived and served as a placeholder between the First and Third.<br /> <br /> ==== Third Committee ====<br /> While the First National Committee was composed only of party founders, the Third National Committee was subject to a party-wide election. Nine members in all ran for the five seats. Irene Taylor and Dushon Marshall remained on the committee, with Joey DiCarlo and Esteban joining as new members during the first round of voting, and Koko securing his spot on the committee after a runoff against Tonantzin Mariategui and [[Chuck Stewart]]. Tonantzin Mariategui and Oliwer Stołów lost their seats. <br /> <br /> The Third National Committee was the most active, controversial, and involved of any New American Left governing body. The Third National Committee oversaw the party's success in the November 2022 federal elections, wherein the party stampeded to a veto-proof majority in the House and a bare majority in the Senate. Among the Third National Committee's central actions was the passage of several constitutional amendments, the coordination of its new caucuses, and the controversial expulsion of Representative Kammerer from the party. The Third National Committee also met with former Attorney General Draven Prince, a point of contention and controversy in the party's future.<br /> <br /> The Third National Committee also oversaw and was directly involved in the Small Exodus. Committee members Koko and Dushon Marshall left the party within days of each other in late December, suddenly leaving two seats in the body absent. The party's internal governance and coordination stagnated as a result, with activity outside the party, such as legislative submission and press activity, stalling for several weeks as well.<br /> <br /> ==== Fourth Committee ====<br /> The Fourth National Committee, also called the Trio, was a transitional committee composed of Irene Taylor, Esteban, and Joey DiCarlo.

Taylor is also Party Chair of the [[New American Left]], Dixie Secretary of Education, and assemblywoman for its fourth district. However, on December 16, 2022, she announced she would not seek the assembly seat again.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Pigeon Forge, Dixie, Taylor graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1981. She served in the Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce, as Director of Marketing and Sales from 1983 to 1991 and then as Executive Director from 1991 to 1993. Taylor left the Chamber that year in a bid to become Superintendent of the Sevier County Public School System, which she garnered in 1994. From 1994 to 2021, Taylor served as Sevier County's head educational official, a tenure notable for the implementation of CTE programs in the county's high schools, the School Board's approval and negotiation with the local teachers union, and Taylor's personal advocacy for masking and vaccinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor announced her retirement from the position in the summer of 2021, alongside her successful completion of the federal bar exam.<br /> <br /> On October 11, 2022, Taylor became the newest assemblywoman for Dixie's fourth state district, after running a small and unopposed campaign. Her tenure in the body has been marked by minor legislative activity and, more recently, a high-profile corruption hearing surrounding Draven Prince's illegal activity as Dixie's Attorney General. Governor Grant of Dixie announced Taylor's nomination to the Secretary of Education in early November, and on the fourth of the month, she was formally confirmed and sworn in. Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10, 2022. In this position, Taylor has executed and aided a number of significant measures, including a resolution to the Ddet Patent Controversy and a newly consummated trade deal with the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> On November 8, 2022, Taylor filed for the Class I Dixie Senate seat held by [[James Bruhman]] and subsequently announced her run. Advertisements and campaigning on Taylor's behalf high-lighted Bruhman's purported inactivity and overheld tenure with Taylor's own relatively fresh political history. During Debate, Taylor was criticized on the freshness of her activity as questions continually arose about her ability to govern, given such a recent entry into governance at large. Nonetheless, Taylor garnered just over 53% of the vote to beat incumbent Senator Bruhman. She was then elected Senate Majority Leader.<br /> <br /> Due to her several high-profile roles, as well as her involvement in the Ddet Patent Controversy, the Draven Prince Scandal, and the Small Exodus, Taylor has continued to be a highly controversial figure. Opponents have criticized Taylor for mismanagement of the New American Left, commenting more specifically on the inability of the party to coordinate across its caucus and further vet the legislation members of that caucus introduce. Furthermore, some have claimed that pieces of legislation supported or written by Taylor, namely the Agricultural Labor Rights Act and the Federal Education Reauthorization Act, are illegal or unconstitutional. Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Irene Dorothea Gallagher was born on July 26, 1958, in Pigeon Forge, Dixie. She was raised in a Christian Baptist family that had lived in Pigeon Forge for generations. When she was two years old, her mother, Diane Gallagher, died of pancreatic cancer. Her father, Tom Gallagher, a Baptist preacher and woodworker, was then her sole caretaker. The Gallagher family was of English, Irish, and Welsh descent, primarily descended from Irish rail workers. Her mother, of the Waylan family, was of French, Welsh, and Cherokee heritage.<br /> <br /> As a child, Taylor participated in softball and quiz bowl and earned numerous badges as a Brownie and Girl Scout. She assisted her father in his woodworking into her teenage years, where she garnered self-attested values of diligence and hard work. Taylor received a saxophone at age twelve and spent much of her middle and high school education practicing music. Having been twice-accepted into all-state bands, Taylor was the recipient of the 1973 Pigeon Forge Youth Excellence Award for her work in music. In 1974, she performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as a selected student in their Cumberland Blues concert series. She was a National Merit Finalist and was the 1976 Youth Saxophone Champion of the All-State Dixie Student Music Competition.<br /> <br /> Taylor was reared in a politically conservative family and her father preached right-leaning views from his pulpit. While this caused significant friction between Taylor and her extended family as her views steered left into her adulthood, she maintained a civil relationship with many of them and, in particular, with her father. She lauded her father's &quot;valiant dedication to pure Christianity&quot; at his funeral in 2017.<br /> <br /> === College years and early career ===<br /> <br /> <br /> == Role in the New American Left ==<br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.<br /> <br /> === The Small Exodus ===<br /> === Five Points Forward ===<br /> <br /> == Dixie Assembly ==<br /> === Draven Prince scandal and corruption hearing ===<br /> <br /> == Senator from Dixie ==<br /> === Freshman campaign ===<br /> === Significant Legislation ===<br /> Taylor has introduced a number of significant bills, including the Ddet Patent Reform Amendment Act, the Indigenous Waters Protection Act, and the Agricultural Labor Rights Act.<br /> <br /> ==== ALR Act Controversy ====<br /> <br /> == Secretary of Commerce and Labor ==<br /> === Ddet Patent Controversy ===<br /> === US-UK Trade Deal===<br /> <br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.</div>

Founded on October 5th, 2022, the New American Left was primarily built by [[Irene Taylor]] alongside [[Dushon Marshall]], [[Koko]], [[Oliwer Stołów]] and [[Bruce Hill]], in response to the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the [[Lone Star Ranch Siege]] that initiated it. The New American Left is a big-tent party, coalescing a number of generally liberal and progressive views under a unified political umbrella. Its party platform advocates for greater support for American unions, greater funding for green energy technology, and a fill-the-potholes policy in regards to national infrastructure, among several affirmations of the rights of minority groups and the impoverished. Since the Small Exodus, the party's politics have continually trended toward left of center.<br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[New American Left National Committee]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. While designed as a decentralized body, constitutional conventions held since the party's founding have put more power into the hands of the National Committee. The [[NALNC]] was initially lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator. The position was later consolidated into the position of Party Chair and granted greater inter-governing ability. The first and only individual to hold the title of FEC Coordinator was [[Irene Taylor]], who, following the party's Second Constitutional Convention, was elected Party Chair and has served as such ever since.<br /> <br /> The NAL won a majority of seats in both the [[House of Representatives]] and the [[Senate]] in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers. The party's present control of Congress has been marked by several controversies, including the Greyson Tax Scandal, the Small Exodus, and general accusations of involvement with former Dixie Attorney General Draven Prince. Several members of the NAL Caucus were involved in both resolving and propagating dimensions of the Ddet Patent Controversy. Pundits agree that the New American Left is, post-Exodus, in the process of recalibrating its political ideology and legislative agenda. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Background ===<br /> === Formation ===<br /> === Early days ===<br /> === Congressional control === <br /> ==== Greyson Tax Scandal ==== <br /> <br /> On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.<br /> <br /> President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.<br /> <br /> As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.<br /> <br /> ==== The Small Exodus ====<br /> From December 20, 2022, to December 23, 2022, prominent members of the NAL left the organization in a string of departures that deepened internal divides and more widely publicized the seeming inability of the party to govern and sustain its caucuses in the House and Senate. <br /> <br /> On December 20, 2022, NAL Party Chair [[Irene Taylor]] announced on Twitter that Representative Kammerer was no longer a member of the party. The expulsion and public admittance of such followed several apparent spats between governing members of the NAL and Kammerer himself. Prior to his removal, Representative Kammerer endorsed John Smith, a controversial member of the [[Libertarian-Republican Party]], against NAL member and party-endorsed candidate Justin.<br /> <br /> Shortly thereafter, Secretary Koko, a founding member of the NAL itself, Tweeted his departure from the party on December 21, 2022. The leave came after clear differences between Koko and other members of the NAL, as the Secretary voiced his disdain with the Corporate Tax Act and his support of Jefferson's refusal of new federal taxes during debates earlier in the month. Koko's departure occurred during a notorious slog of inactivity in the House, as twelve members' failure to vote on a bill was widely publicized on the same day. Less than twenty four hours later, Dushon Marshall tentatively left politics before returning to the scene and registering himself as an independent. Marshall was a prominent member of the party during his tenure under their poltical banner in the House.

Founded on October 5th, 2022, the New American Left was primarily built by [[Irene Taylor]] alongside [[Dushon Marshall]], [[Koko]], [[Oliwer Stołów]] and [[Bruce Hill]], in response to the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the [[Lone Star Ranch Siege]] that initiated it. The New American Left is a big-tent party, coalescing a number of generally liberal and progressive views under a unified political umbrella. Its party platform advocates for greater support for American unions, greater funding for green energy technology, and a fill-the-potholes policy in regards to national infrastructure, among several affirmations of the rights of minority groups and the impoverished. Since the Small Exodus, the party's politics have continually trended toward left of center.<br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[New American Left National Committee]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. While designed as a decentralized body, constitutional conventions held since the party's founding have put more power into the hands of the National Committee. The [[NALNC]] was initially lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator. The position was later consolidated into the position of Party Chair and granted greater inter-governing ability. The first and only individual to hold the title of FEC Coordinator was [[Irene Taylor]], who, following the party's Second Constitutional Convention, was elected Party Chair and has served as such ever since.<br /> <br /> The NAL won a majority of seats in both the [[House of Representatives]] and the [[Senate]] in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers. The party's present control of Congress has been marked by several controversies, including the Greyson Tax Scandal, the Small Exodus, and general accusations of involvement with former Dixie Attorney General Draven Prince. Several members of the NAL Caucus were involved in both resolving and propagating dimensions of the Ddet Patent Controversy. Pundits agree that the New American Left is, post-Exodus, in the process of recalibrating its political ideology and legislative agenda. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Background ===<br /> === Formation ===<br /> === Early days ===<br /> === Congressional control === <br /> ==== Greyson Tax Scandal ==== <br /> <br /> On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.<br /> <br /> President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.<br /> <br /> As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.<br /> <br /> ==== The Small Exodus ====<br /> From December 20, 2022, to December 23, 2022, prominent members of the NAL left the organization in a string of departures that deepened internal divides and more widely publicized the seeming inability of the party to govern and sustain its caucuses in the House and Senate. <br /> <br /> On December 20, 2022, NAL Party Chair [[Irene Taylor]] announced on Twitter that Representative Kammerer was no longer a member of the party. The expulsion and public admittance of such followed several apparent spats between governing members of the NAL and Kammerer himself. Prior to his removal, Representative Kammerer endorsed John Smith, a controversial member of the [[Libertarian-Republican Party]], against NAL member and party-endorsed candidate Justin.<br /> <br /> Shortly thereafter, Secretary Koko, a founding member of the NAL itself, Tweeted his departure from the party on December 21, 2022. The leave came after clear differences between Koko and other members of the NAL, as the Secretary voiced his disdain with the Corporate Tax Act and his support of Jefferson's refusal of new federal taxes during debates earlier in the month. Koko's departure occurred during a notorious slog of inactivity in the House, as twelve members' failure to vote on a bill was widely publicized on the same day. Less than twenty four hours later, Dushon Marshall tentatively left politics before returning to the scene and registering himself as an independent. Marshall was a prominent member of the party during his tenure under their poltical banner in the House. His resignation from the [[NALNC]], in concurrence with Koko's, left the NAL's governing body two members down, an absence it continues to maintain.<br /> <br /> The trio of departures marked a Small Exodus from the NAL and all but collapsed the party's more moderate wing. Without the more conservative voices of Koko and Kammerer to hold the party near the center-left, remaining members have increasingly pushed the NAL toward a more overt and legislatively evident progressivism.<br /> === Post-Exodus recalibration ===</div>

Taylor is also Party Chair of the New American Left, Dixie Secretary of Education, and assemblywoman for its fourth district. However, on December 16, 2022, she announced she would not seek the assembly seat again.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Pigeon Forge, Dixie, Taylor graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1981. She served in the Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce, as Director of Marketing and Sales from 1983 to 1991 and then as Executive Director from 1991 to 1993. Taylor left the Chamber that year in a bid to become Superintendent of the Sevier County Public School System, which she garnered in 1994. From 1994 to 2021, Taylor served as Sevier County's head educational official, a tenure notable for the implementation of CTE programs in the county's high schools, the School Board's approval and negotiation with the local teachers union, and Taylor's personal advocacy for masking and vaccinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor announced her retirement from the position in the summer of 2021, alongside her successful completion of the federal bar exam.<br /> <br /> On October 11, 2022, Taylor became the newest assemblywoman for Dixie's fourth state district, after running a small and unopposed campaign. Her tenure in the body has been marked by minor legislative activity and, more recently, a high-profile corruption hearing surrounding Draven Prince's illegal activity as Dixie's Attorney General. Governor Grant of Dixie announced Taylor's nomination to the Secretary of Education in early November, and on the fourth of the month, she was formally confirmed and sworn in. Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10, 2022. In this position, Taylor has executed and aided a number of significant measures, including a resolution to the Ddet Patent Controversy and a newly consummated trade deal with the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> On November 8, 2022, Taylor filed for the Class I Dixie Senate seat held by [[James Bruhman]] and subsequently announced her run. Advertisements and campaigning on Taylor's behalf high-lighted Bruhman's purported inactivity and overheld tenure with Taylor's own relatively fresh political history. During Debate, Taylor was criticized on the freshness of her activity as questions continually arose about her ability to govern, given such a recent entry into governance at large. Nonetheless, Taylor garnered just over 53% of the vote to beat incumbent Senator Bruhman. She was then elected Senate Majority Leader.<br /> <br /> Due to her several high-profile roles, as well as her involvement in the Ddet Patent Controversy, the Draven Prince Scandal, and the Small Exodus, Taylor has continued to be a highly controversial figure. Opponents have criticized Taylor for mismanagement of the New American Left, commenting more specifically on the inability of the party to coordinate across its caucus and further vet the legislation members of that caucus introduce. Furthermore, some have claimed that pieces of legislation supported or written by Taylor, namely the Agricultural Labor Rights Act and the Federal Education Reauthorization Act, are illegal or unconstitutional. Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Irene Dorothea Gallagher was born on July 26, 1958, in Pigeon Forge, Dixie. She was raised in a Christian Baptist family that had lived in Pigeon Forge for generations. When she was two years old, her mother, Diane Gallagher, died of pancreatic cancer. Her father, Tom Gallagher, a Baptist preacher and woodworker, was then her sole caretaker. The Gallagher family was of English, Irish, and Welsh descent, primarily descended from Irish rail workers. Her mother, of the Waylan family, was of French, Welsh, and Cherokee heritage.<br /> <br /> As a child, Taylor participated in softball and quiz bowl and earned numerous badges as a Brownie and Girl Scout. She assisted her father in his woodworking into her teenage years, where she garnered self-attested values of diligence and hard work. Taylor received a saxophone at age twelve and spent much of her middle and high school education practicing music. Having been twice-accepted into all-state bands, Taylor was the recipient of the 1973 Pigeon Forge Youth Excellence Award for her work in music. In 1974, she performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as a selected student in their Cumberland Blues concert series. She was a National Merit Finalist and was the 1976 Youth Saxophone Champion of the All-State Dixie Student Music Competition.<br /> <br /> Taylor was reared in a politically conservative family and her father preached right-leaning views from his pulpit. While this caused significant friction between Taylor and her extended family as her views steered left into her adulthood, she maintained a civil relationship with many of them and, in particular, with her father. She lauded her father's &quot;valiant dedication to pure Christianity&quot; at his funeral in 2017.<br /> <br /> === College years and early career ===<br /> <br /> <br /> == Role in the New American Left ==<br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.<br /> <br /> === The Small Exodus ===<br /> === Five Points Forward ===<br /> <br /> == Dixie Assembly ==<br /> === Draven Prince scandal and corruption hearing ===<br /> <br /> == Senator from Dixie ==<br /> === Freshman campaign ===<br /> === Significant Legislation ===<br /> Taylor has introduced a number of significant bills, including the Ddet Patent Reform Amendment Act, the Indigenous Waters Protection Act, and the Agricultural Labor Rights Act.<br /> <br /> ==== ALR Act Controversy ====<br /> <br /> == Secretary of Commerce and Labor ==<br /> === Ddet Patent Controversy ===<br /> === US-UK Trade Deal===<br /> <br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.</div>

The leave came after clear differences between Koko and other members of the NAL, as the Secretary voiced his disdain with the Corporate Tax Act and his support of Jefferson's refusal of new federal taxes during debates earlier in the month. Koko's departure occurred during a notorious slog of inactivity in the House, as twelve members' failure to vote on a bill was widely publicized on the same day. Less than twenty four hours later, Dushon Marshall tentatively left politics before returning to the scene and registering himself as an independent. Marshall was a prominent member of the party during his tenure under their poltical banner in the House. His resignation from the [[NALNC]], in concurrence with Koko's, left the NAL's governing body two members down, an absence it continues to maintain.<br /> <br /> The trio of departures marked a Small Exodus from the NAL and all but collapsed the party's more moderate wing. Without the more conservative voices of Koko and Kammerer to hold the party near the center-left, remaining members have increasingly pushed the NAL toward a more overt and legislatively evident progressivism.<br /> === Post-Exodus recalibration ===</div>

Founded on October 5th, 2022, the New American Left was primarily built by [[Irene Taylor]] alongside [[Dushon Marshall], [[Koko]], and [[Bruce Hill]], in response to the dissolution of the Democratic Party and the [[Lone Star Ranch Siege]] that initiated it. The New American Left is a big-tent party, coalescing a number of generally liberal and progressive views under a unified political umbrella. Its party platform advocates for greater support for American unions, greater funding for green energy technology, and a fill-the-potholes policy in regards to national infrastructure, among several affirmations of the rights of minority groups and the impoverished. Since the Small Exodus, the party's politics have continually trended toward left of center.<br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[New American Left National Committee]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. While designed as a decentralized body, constitutional conventions held since the party's founding have put more hands into the power of the National Committee. The [[NALNC]] was lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator. The position was later consolidated into the position of Party Chair and granted greater inter-governing ability. The first and only individual to hold the title of FEC Coordinator was [[Irene Taylor]], who, following the party's Second Constitutional Convention, was elected Party Chair and has served as such ever since.<br /> <br /> The NAL won a majority of seats in both the [[House of Representatives]] and the [[Senate]] in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers. The party's present control of Congress has been marked by several controversies, including the Greyson Tax Scandal, the Small Exodus, and general accusations of involvement with former Dixie Attorney General Draven Prince. Several members of the NAL Caucus were involved in both resolving and propagating dimensions of the Ddet Patent Controversy. Pundits agree that the New American Left is, post-Exodus, in the process of recalibrating its political ideology and legislative agenda. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Background ===<br /> === Formation ===<br /> === Early days ===<br /> === Congressional control === <br /> ==== Greyson Tax Scandal ==== <br /> <br /> On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.<br /> <br /> President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.<br /> <br /> As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.<br /> <br /> ==== The Small Exodus ====<br /> From December 20, 2022, to December 23, 2022, prominent members of the NAL left the organization in a string of departures that deepened internal divides and more widely publicized the seeming inability of the party to govern and sustain its caucuses in the House and Senate. <br /> <br /> On December 20, 2022, NAL Party Chair [[Irene Taylor]] announced on Twitter that Representative Kammerer was no longer a member of the party.

In contrast to its primary political rival, the [[Libertarian-Republican Party]], the NAL is a very new political organization, having only existed since October 5th, 2022. The party was founded as a big tent, and its official platform coalesces a number of generally liberal and progressive views. However, since the Small Exodus, its politics have continually trended toward left of center. <br /> <br /> The party is lead by the [[NALNC]], an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. Its internal structure, as outlined by its constitution, is philosophically decentralized, though constitutional conventions since the party's founding have put more power in the hands of the NALNC. Prior to the present constitution, it was lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator.

Taylor is also Party Chair of the New American Left, Dixie Secretary of Education, and assemblywoman for its fourth district. However, on December 16, 2022, she announced she would not seek the assembly seat again.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Pigeon Forge, Dixie, Taylor graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1981. She served in the Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce, as Director of Marketing and Sales from 1983 to 1991 and then as Executive Director from 1991 to 1993. Taylor left the Chamber that year in a bid to become Superintendent of the Sevier County Public School System, which she garnered in 1994. From 1994 to 2021, Taylor served as Sevier County's head educational official, a tenure notable for the implementation of CTE programs in the county's high schools, the School Board's approval and negotiation with the local teachers union, and Taylor's personal advocacy for masking and vaccinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor announced her retirement from the position in the summer of 2021, alongside her successful completion of the federal bar exam.<br /> <br /> On October 11, 2022, Taylor became the newest assemblywoman for Dixie's fourth state district, after running a small and unopposed campaign. Her tenure in the body has been marked by minor legislative activity and, more recently, a high-profile corruption hearing surrounding Draven Prince's illegal activity as Dixie's Attorney General. Governor Grant of Dixie announced Taylor's nomination to the Secretary of Education in early November, and on the fourth of the month, she was formally confirmed and sworn in. Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10, 2022. In this position, Taylor has executed and aided a number of significant measures, including a resolution to the Ddet Patent Controversy and a newly consummated trade deal with the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> On November 8, 2022, Taylor filed for the Class I Dixie Senate seat held by [[James Bruhman]] and subsequently announced her run. Advertisements and campaigning on Taylor's behalf high-lighted Bruhman's purported inactivity and overheld tenure with Taylor's own relatively fresh political history. During Debate, Taylor was criticized on the freshness of her activity as questions continually arose about her ability to govern, given such a recent entry into governance at large. Nonetheless, Taylor garnered just over 53% of the vote to beat incumbent Senator Bruhman. She was then elected Senate Majority Leader.<br /> <br /> Due to her several high-profile roles, as well as her involvement in the Ddet Patent Controversy, the Draven Prince Scandal, and the Small Exodus, Taylor has continued to be a highly controversial figure. Opponents have criticized Taylor for mismanagement of the New American Left, commenting more specifically on the inability of the party to coordinate across its caucus and further vet the legislation members of that caucus introduce. Furthermore, some have claimed that pieces of legislation supported or written by Taylor, namely the Agricultural Labor Rights Act and the Federal Education Reauthorization Act, are illegal or unconstitutional. Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Irene Dorothea Gallagher was born on July 26, 1958, in Pigeon Forge, Dixie. She was raised in a Christian Baptist family that had lived in Pigeon Forge for generations. When she was two years old, her mother, Diane Gallagher, died of pancreatic cancer. Her father, Tom Gallagher, a Baptist preacher and woodworker, was then her sole caretaker. The Gallagher family was of English, Irish, and Welsh descent, primarily descended from Irish rail workers. Her mother, of the Waylan family, was of French, Welsh, and Cherokee heritage.<br /> <br /> As a child, Taylor participated in softball and quiz bowl and earned numerous badges as a Brownie and Girl Scout. She assisted her father in his woodworking into her teenage years, where she garnered self-attested values of diligence and hard work. Taylor received a saxophone at age twelve and spent much of her middle and high school education practicing music. Having been twice-accepted into all-state bands, Taylor was the recipient of the 1973 Pigeon Forge Youth Excellence Award for her work in music. In 1974, she performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as a selected student in their Cumberland Blues concert series. She was a National Merit Finalist and was the 1976 Youth Saxophone Champion of the All-State Dixie Student Music Competition.<br /> <br /> Taylor was reared in a politically conservative family and her father preached right-leaning views from his pulpit. While this caused significant friction between Taylor and her extended family as her views steered left into her adulthood, she maintained a civil relationship with many of them and, in particular, with her father.

Taylor is also Party Chair of the New American Left, Dixie Secretary of Education, and assemblywoman for its fourth district. However, on December 16, 2022, she announced she would not seek the assembly seat again.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Pigeon Forge, Dixie, Taylor graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1981. She served in the Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce, as Director of Marketing and Sales from 1983 to 1991 and then as Executive Director from 1991 to 1993. Taylor left the Chamber that year in a bid to become Superintendent of the Sevier County Public School System, which she garnered in 1994. From 1994 to 2021, Taylor served as Sevier County's head educational official, a tenure notable for the implementation of CTE programs in the county's high schools, the School Board's approval and negotiation with the local teachers union, and Taylor's personal advocacy for masking and vaccinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor announced her retirement from the position in the summer of 2021, alongside her successful completion of the federal bar exam.<br /> <br /> On October 11, 2022, Taylor became the newest assemblywoman for Dixie's fourth state district, after running a small and unopposed campaign. Her tenure in the body has been marked by minor legislative activity and, more recently, a high-profile corruption hearing surrounding Draven Prince's illegal activity as Dixie's Attorney General. Governor Grant of Dixie announced Taylor's nomination to the Secretary of Education in early November, and on the fourth of the month, she was formally confirmed and sworn in. Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10, 2022. In this position, Taylor has executed and aided a number of significant measures, including a resolution to the Ddet Patent Controversy and a newly consummated trade deal with the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> On November 8, 2022, Taylor filed for the Class I Dixie Senate seat held by [[James Bruhman]] and subsequently announced her run. Advertisements and campaigning on Taylor's behalf high-lighted Bruhman's purported inactivity and overheld tenure with Taylor's own relatively fresh political history. During Debate, Taylor was criticized on the freshness of her activity as questions continually arose about her ability to govern, given such a recent entry into governance at large. Nonetheless, Taylor garnered just over 53% of the vote to beat incumbent Senator Bruhman. She was then elected Senate Majority Leader.<br /> <br /> Due to her several high-profile roles, as well as her involvement in the Ddet Patent Controversy, the Draven Prince Scandal, and the Small Exodus, Taylor has continued to be a highly controversial figure. Opponents have criticized Taylor for mismanagement of the New American Left, commenting more specifically on the inability of the party to coordinate across its caucus and further vet the legislation members of that caucus introduce. Furthermore, some have claimed that pieces of legislation supported or written by Taylor, namely the Agricultural Labor Rights Act and the Federal Education Reauthorization Act, are illegal or unconstitutional. Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Irene Dorothea Gallagher was born on July 26, 1958, in Pigeon Forge, Dixie. She was raised in a Christian Baptist family that had lived in Pigeon Forge for generations. When she was two years old, her mother, Diane Gallagher, died of pancreatic cancer. Her father, Tom Gallagher, a Baptist preacher and woodworker, was then her sole caretaker. The Gallagher family was of English, Irish, and Welsh descent, primarily descended from Irish rail workers. Her mother, of the Waylan family, was of French, Welsh, and Cherokee heritage.<br /> <br /> As a child, Taylor participated in softball and quiz bowl and earned numerous badges as a Brownie and Girl Scout. She assisted her father in his woodworking into her teenage years, where she garnered self-attested values of diligence and hard work. Taylor received a saxophone at age twelve and spent much of her middle and high school education practicing music. Having been twice-accepted into all-state bands, Taylor was the recipient of the 1973 Pigeon Forge Youth Excellence Award for her work in music. In 1974, she performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as a selected student in their Cumberland Blues concert series. She was a National Merit Finalist and was the 1976 Youth Saxophone Champion of the All-State Dixie Student Music Competition.<br /> <br /> Taylor was reared in a politically conservative family and her father preached right-leaning views from his pulpit. While this caused significant friction between Taylor and her extended family as her views steered left into her adulthood, she maintained a civil relationship with many of them and, in particular, with her father. She lauded her father's &quot;valiant dedication to pure Christianity&quot; at his funeral in 2017.<br /> <br /> === College years and early career ===<br /> <br /> <br /> == Role in the New American Left ==<br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.<br /> <br /> === The Small Exodus ===<br /> === Five Points Forward ===<br /> <br /> == Dixie Assembly ==<br /> === Draven Prince Scandal and Corruption Hearing ===<br /> <br /> == Senator from Dixie ==<br /> === Significant Legislation ===<br /> Ddet Patent Reform Amendment Act<br /> Indigenous Waters Protection Act<br /> Agricultural Labor Rights Act<br /> ==== ALR Act Controversy ====<br /> <br /> == Secretary of Commerce and Labor ==<br /> === Ddet Patent Controversy ===<br /> === US-UK Trade Deal===<br /> <br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.</div>

Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10, 2022. In this position, Taylor has executed and aided a number of significant measures, including a resolution to the Ddet Patent Controversy and a newly consummated trade deal with the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> On November 8, 2022, Taylor filed for the Class I Dixie Senate seat held by [[James Bruhman]] and subsequently announced her run. Advertisements and campaigning on Taylor's behalf high-lighted Bruhman's purported inactivity and overheld tenure with Taylor's own relatively fresh political history. During Debate, Taylor was criticized on the freshness of her activity as questions continually arose about her ability to govern, given such a recent entry into governance at large. Nonetheless, Taylor garnered just over 53% of the vote to beat incumbent Senator Bruhman. She was then elected Senate Majority Leader.<br /> <br /> Due to her several high-profile roles, as well as her involvement in the Ddet Patent Controversy, the Draven Prince Scandal, and the Small Exodus, Taylor has continued to be a highly controversial figure. Opponents have criticized Taylor for mismanagement of the New American Left, commenting more specifically on the inability of the party to coordinate across its caucus and further vet the legislation members of that caucus introduce. Furthermore, some have claimed that pieces of legislation supported or written by Taylor, namely the Agricultural Labor Rights Act and the Federal Education Reauthorization Act, are illegal or unconstitutional. Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> === Early Life ===<br /> Irene Dorothea Gallagher was born on July 26, 1958, in Pigeon Forge, Dixie. She was raised in a Christian Baptist family that had lived in Pigeon Forge for generations. When she was two years old, her mother, Diane Gallagher, died of pancreatic cancer. Her father, Tom Gallagher, a Baptist preacher and woodworker, was then her sole caretaker. The Gallagher family was of English, Irish, and Welsh descent, primarily descended from Irish rail workers. Her mother, of the Waylan family, was of French, Welsh, and Cherokee heritage. <br /> As a child, Taylor participated in softball and quiz bowl and earned numerous badges as a Brownie and Girl Scout. She assisted her father in his woodworking into her teenage years, where she garnered self-attested values of diligence and hard work. Taylor received a saxophone at age twelve and spent much of her middle and high school education practicing music. Having been twice-accepted into all-state bands, Taylor was the recipient of the 1973 Pigeon Forge Youth Excellence Award for her work in music. In 1974, she performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra as a selected student in their Cumberland Blues concert series. She was a National Merit Finalist and was the 1976 Youth Saxophone Champion of the All-State Dixie Student Music Competition.<br /> Taylor was reared in a politically conservative family and her father regularly preached right-leaning views from his pulpit. While this caused significant friction between Taylor and her extended family as her views steered left into her adulthood, she maintained a civil relationship with many of them and, in particular, with her father. She lauded her father's &quot;valiant dedication to the pure Christianity&quot; at his funeral in 2017<br /> === College years and early career ===<br /> <br /> <br /> == Role in the New American Left ==<br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.<br /> <br /> === The Small Exodus ===<br /> === Five Points Forward ===<br /> <br /> == Dixie Assembly ==<br /> === Draven Prince Scandal and Corruption Hearing ===<br /> <br /> == Senator from Dixie ==<br /> === Significant Legislation ===<br /> ==== ALR Act Controversy ====<br /> <br /> == Secretary of Commerce and Labor ==<br /> === Ddet Patent Controversy ===<br /> === US-UK Trade Deal===<br /> <br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.</div>

Perceived involvement in Draven Prince's ploy to manipulate his then-powers as Attorney General has also drawn particular ire and criticism.<br /> <br /> == Personal Life ==<br /> === Music ===<br /> === Faith ===<br /> <br /> <br /> == Role in the New American Left ==<br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.<br /> <br /> === The Small Exodus ===<br /> === Five Points Forward ===<br /> <br /> == Dixie Assembly ==<br /> === Draven Prince Scandal and Corruption Hearing ===<br /> <br /> == Senator from Dixie ==<br /> === Significant Legislation ===<br /> ==== ALR Act Controversy ====<br /> <br /> == Secretary of Commerce and Labor ==<br /> === Ddet Patent Controversy ===<br /> === US-UK Trade Deal===<br /> <br /> Taylor was a founding member of the New American Left and the primary author of its present constitution and platform.</div>

Taylor is also Party Chair of the New American Left, Dixie Secretary of Education, and assemblywoman for its fourth district. However, on December 16th, 2022, she announced she would not seek the assembly seat again.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Pigeon Forge, Dixie, Taylor graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 1981. She served in the Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce, as Director of Marketing and Sales from 1983 to 1991 and then as Executive Director from 1991 to 1993. Taylor left the Chamber that year in a bid to become Superintendent of the Sevier County Public School System, which she garnered in 1994. From 1994 to 2021, Taylor served as Sevier County's head educational official, a tenure notable for the implementation of CTE programs in the county's high schools, the School Board's approval and negotiation with the local teachers union, and Taylor's personal advocacy for masking and vaccinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor announced her retirement from the position in the summer of 2021, alongside her successful completion of the federal bar exam.<br /> <br /> On October 11th, 2022, Taylor became the newest assemblywoman for Dixie's fourth state district, after running a small and unopposed campaign. Her tenure in the body has been marked by minor legislative activity and, more recently, a high-profile corruption hearing surrounding Draven Prince's illegal activity as Dixie's Attorney General. Governor Grant of Dixie announced Taylor's nomination to the Secretary of Education in early November, and on the fourth of the month, she was formally confirmed and sworn in. Perhaps the most inactive of Taylor's responsibilities, she's primarily focused on expanding programs outlined under the self-authored CATT Act and the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures of Dixie in the state's high schools. Despite being nominated under President XRT, Taylor was not formally confirmed as the United States Secretary of Commerce and Labor until November 10th, 2022.
