}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President [[Lamport]], and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law School in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== House of Representatives == &lt;br /&gt;
He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms from, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 4th, 2020 the May Federal Midterm elections ended where Matthew Hale ran for Congress to represent the North&#039;s Second District. Hale won his election with 43.26% of the vote in a five way race. Oliver was in second place with 26.43% of the vote. On the same day, Matthew Hale took office taking his oath on the House floor, returning to the House since his time as Speaker. Hale again ran for re-election for the North&#039;s Second District taking 95.2% of the vote, winning his race by a substantial margin on July 11, 2020. He was re-elected as Speaker on July 14th, 2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==U.S. Senator from the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was elected to the U.S. Senate following the ascension of Senator MichiganLefty to the Presidency. ML, not running for his Senate Seat, allowed Matthew Hale to easily win the Labor nomination for the Senate race. In the general election for the Senate, Matthew Hale faced off against Representative Computerguy15 for the seat. In the final vote, Matthew Hale won with 61.96% of the vote compared to Computerguy&#039;s 38.04%. In office, Senator Matthew Hale became the Labor Caucus Majority Leader and introduced several pieces of legislation: the Whistleblower Identity Protection Act of 2019, the Emancipation Day Act of 2019, the Right to Vote Amendment which has been ratified by Dixie, and the United Nations Neutrality Act of 2020. After, Senator Lyndon Garland left the Senate to become the Northern Governor, Senator Hale became the President pro tempore until he later resigned from office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Governor of the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Hale was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the North by Governor [[Justin Jacobs]] a day after the [[Northern Basic Law|Lieutenant Governor Amendment]] passed. He was Lieutenant Governor for 13 minutes, and then sworn in as Governor after Justin resigned. He immediately got work, signing Executive Order 14, which replaced the Communist-era cabinet Departments with eight modern departments. Other than a Senate appointment, Lieutenant Governor nomination (who was [[Kody Clark]]), and one bill signage, he was inactive throughout August, and resigned on September 2, 2019. A few days later, he revealed it was due to personal reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ambassador to the United Nations==&lt;br /&gt;
Following [[Sparkle]]&#039;s participation in the Second Communist Exodus, Lamport appointed him to the cabinet as Ambassador to the United Nations. He was confirmed by the Senate unanimously on April 13, 2019. As Ambassador, he was instrumental in drafting the [[Nuclear Disarmament Treaty]]. He left this office at the end of Lamport&#039;s term. However, he remained in the cabinet as Secretary of State.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Secretary of State==&lt;br /&gt;
President [[LOTR]] removed Hale from Ambassador and nominated him as Secretary of State, and he was confirmed by the Senate unanimously on July 17, 2019. He wished for an international response on the Rohingya Muslim genocide done by Myanmar. After succeeding President [[Patty]] pulled out of the U.N. Security Council without consulting him, he resigned on October 9. The following President, [[MichiganLefty]], renominated him to the position. In a smiliar fashion to his other nominations, the Senate confirmed him unanimously on November 13, and he issued a number of Department statements, in regards to the United Nations, NATO, Samoan Islands, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia. He resigned on January 17, citing the President switching to the now-defunct Popular Party. Matthew Hale later returned to the position of Secretary of State under President Lyndon Garland. On 7/26/2020 Hale was confirmed by the Senate with Sen. Clark, Sen. Valerie, Sen. Ddet, and Sen. Leclair all voting in the affirmative. Since taking office, Secretary Hale has focused largely on China and is the first Secretary of State since 2017 to impose sanctions on any nation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mayor of the District of Columbia==&lt;br /&gt;
Hale was elected as Mayor of the District of Columbia on June 22, ahead of [[JMP]], [[April]], and [[Jason Miner]]. He has signed three Executive Orders; one related to cabinet consolidation, one related to police brutality, and one related to COVID-19 prevention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationship with the Labor Party==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was one of the five founders of the Labor Party after the Communist Exodus. In initial discussions, he suggested restarting the Democratic Party in the wake of the Exodus but did not find enough support with the Founders to do so. Instead, they settled on the name Labor. The first Chair election was between two founders, Matthew Hale and Lohengramm. Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four months. It was characterized by defeats due to the lack of candidates and membership, however, the Labor Party took a super majority in the House of Representatives with twelve of the seats. Hale was elected Speaker during this time.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personal life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale is married to Elizabeth Andrews Hale. The Hale family has three kids, an eldest daughter, Anastasia Hale who was born in 2004, Daniel Hale who was born in 2006, and Garrett Hale who was born in 2007. Both Matthew Hale and Elizabeth have been actively involved politics and activism. Matthew Hale, attending Columbia Law School, went on to be a civil rights attorney, later getting involved in public service. Elizabeth Andrews-Hale attended the same university as Matthew, Georgetown, but later went to medical school to become a primary care physician. Elizabeth is generally behind the scenes of Matthew&#039;s career, focusing on her own profession but did join him for a virtual rally when the COVID-19 crisis was hitting America. On September 2nd, 2019 an ambulance was called to the Hale Residence in Cleveland due to a medical emergency involving one of the children. &lt;br /&gt;

Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four months.

Hale was elected Speaker during this time.  &lt;br /&gt;

==Relationship with the Labor Party==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was one of the five founders of the Labor Party after the Communist Exodus. In initial discussions, he suggested restarting the Democratic Party in the wake of the Exodus but did not find enough support with the Founders to do so. Instead, they settled on the name Labor. The first Chair election was between two founders, Matthew Hale and Lohengramm. Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four (4) months. It was characterized by defeats due to the lack of candidates and membership, however, the Labor Party took a super majority in the House of Representatives with 12 of the seats. Hale was elected Speaker during this time.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== House of Representatives == &lt;br /&gt;
He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 4th, 2020 the May Federal Midterm elections ended where Matthew Hale ran for Congress to represent the North&#039;s Second District. Hale won his election with 43.26% of the vote in a five way race. Oliver was in second place with 26.43% of the vote. On the same day, Matthew Hale took office taking his oath on the House floor, returning to the House since his time as Speaker. Hale again ran for re-election for the North&#039;s Second District taking 95.2% of the vote, winning his race by a substantial margin on 7/11/2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==U.S. Senator from the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was elected to the U.S. Senate following the ascension of Senator MichiganLefty to the Presidency. ML, not running for his Senate Seat, allowed Matthew Hale to easily win the Labor nomination for the Senate race. In the general election for the Senate, Matthew Hale faced off against Representative Computerguy15 for the seat. In the final vote, Matthew Hale won with 61.96% of the vote compared to Computerguy&#039;s 38.04%. In office, Senator Matthew Hale became the Labor Caucus Majority Leader and introduced several pieces of legislation: the Whistleblower Identity Protection Act of 2019, the Emancipation Day Act of 2019, the Right to Vote Amendment which has been ratified by Dixie, and the United Nations Neutrality Act of 2020. After, Senator Lyndon Garland left the Senate to become the Northern Governor, Senator Hale became the President pro tempore until he later resigned from office. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== House of Representatives == &lt;br /&gt;
He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 4th, 2020 the May Federal Midterm elections ended where Matthew Hale ran for Congress to represent the North&#039;s Second District. Hale won his election with 43.26% of the vote in a five way race. Oliver was in second place with 26.43% of the vote. On the same day, Matthew Hale took office taking his oath on the House floor, returning to the House since his time as Speaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==U.S. Senator from the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was elected to the U.S. Senate following the ascension of Senator MichiganLefty to the Presidency. ML, not running for his Senate Seat, allowed Matthew Hale to easily win the Labor nomination for the Senate race. In the general election for the Senate, Matthew Hale faced off against Representative Computerguy15 for the seat. In the final vote, Matthew Hale won with 61.96% of the vote compared to Computerguy&#039;s 38.04%. In office, Senator Matthew Hale became the Labor Caucus Majority Leader and introduced several pieces of legislation: the Whistleblower Identity Protection Act of 2019, the Emancipation Day Act of 2019, the Right to Vote Amendment which has been ratified by Dixie, and the United Nations Neutrality Act of 2020. After, Senator Lyndon Garland left the Senate to become the Northern Governor, Senator Hale became the President pro tempore until he later resigned from office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationship with the Labor Party==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was one of the five founders of the Labor Party after the Communist Exodus. In initial discussions, he suggested restarting the Democratic Party in the wake of the Exodus but did not find enough support with the Founders to do so. Instead, they settled on the name Labor. The first Chair election was between two founders, Matthew Hale and Lohengramm. Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four (4) months. It was characterized by defeats due to the lack of candidates and membership, however, the Labor Party took a super majority in the House of Representatives with 12 of the seats. Hale was elected Speaker during this time.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== House of Representatives == &lt;br /&gt;
He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 4th, 2020 the May Federal Midterm elections ended where Matthew Hale ran for Congress to represent the North&#039;s Second District. Hale won his election with 43.26% of the vote in a five way race. Oliver was in second place with 26.43% of the vote. On the same day, Matthew Hale took office taking his oath on the House floor, returning to the House since his time as Speaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==U.S. Senator from the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was elected to the U.S. Senate following the ascension of Senator MichiganLefty to the Presidency. ML, not running for his Senate Seat, allowed Matthew Hale to easily win the Labor nomination for the Senate race. In the general election for the Senate, Matthew Hale faced off against Representative Computerguy15 for the seat. In the final vote, Matthew Hale won with 61.96% of the vote compared to Computerguy&#039;s 38.04%. In office, Senator Matthew Hale became the Labor Caucus Majority Leader and introduced several pieces of legislation: the Whistleblower Identity Protection Act of 2019, the Emancipation Day Act of 2019, the Right to Vote Amendment which has been ratified by Dixie, and the United Nations Neutrality Act of 2020. After, Senator Lyndon Garland left the Senate to become the Northern Governor, Senator Hale became the President pro tempore until he later resigned from office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationship with the Labor Party==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was one of the five founders of the Labor Party after the Communist Exodus. In initial discussions, he suggested restarting the Democratic Party in the wake of the Exodus but did not find enough support with the Founders to do so. Instead, they settled on the name Labor. The first Chair election was between two founders, Matthew Hale and Lohengramm. Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four (4) months. It was characterized by defeats due to the lack of candidates and membership, however, the Labor Party took a super majority in the House of Representatives with 12 of the seats. Hale was elected Speaker during this time.&lt;br /&gt;

After, Senator Lyndon Garland left the Senate to become the Northern Governor, Senator Hale became the President pro tempore until he later resigned from office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationship with the Labor Party==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was one of the five founders of the Labor Party after the Communist Exodus. In initial discussions, he suggested restarting the Democratic Party in the wake of the Exodus but did not find enough support with the Founders to do so. Instead, they settled on the name Labor. The first Chair election was between two founders, Matthew Hale and Lohengramm. Lohengramm won the Chair election but quickly fell out with the new party and resigned, making Hale the Chair who was at the time Vice Chair. As Chairman, Hale led the party for the first four (4) months. It was characterized by defeats due to the lack of candidates and membership, however, the Labor Party took a super majority in the House of Representatives with 12 of the seats. Hale was elected Speaker during this time.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;

He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was later re-elected to the House representing NS-2 after a 5-way race where he gained 43.26% of the vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==U.S. Senator from the Northern State==&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was elected to the U.S. Senate following the ascension of Senator MichiganLefty to the Presidency. ML, not running for his Senate Seat, allowed Matthew Hale to easily win the Labor nomination for the Senate race. In the general election for the Senate, Matthew Hale faced off against Representative Computerguy15 for the seat. In the final vote, Matthew Hale won with 61.96% of the vote compared to Computerguy&#039;s 38.04%. In office, Senator Matthew Hale became the Labor Caucus Majority Leader and introduced several pieces of legislation: the Whistleblower Identity Protection Act of 2019, the Emancipation Day Act of 2019, the Right to Vote Amendment which has been ratified by Dixie, and the United Nations Neutrality Act of 2020.

&#039;&#039;&#039;Matthew Hale&#039;&#039;&#039; is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and Education== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== House of Representatives == &lt;br /&gt;
He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. &lt;br /&gt;
Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House. &lt;br /&gt;

He served as the Federal Representative for the North&#039;s Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term.

Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials.
