SteB is an American businessman, philanthropist, and politician who is currently serving as the DC Congressional Delegate and the State Delegate for the North's fourth district, also serving as its Chair.
Early Life
Representative SteB was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on the 23rd of May, 1979. He lived a relatively comfortable life, living in the outskirts of Baltimore, attending a prestigious private school. His father, AndreB (born 1945), and mother PenelopeB (born 1947) both worked as lawyers in the Ballard Spahr Law Firm in Baltimore his father, AndreB, was a second-generation Eastern European immigrant. SteB’s paternal grandfather was Polish, from Warsaw, while his paternal grandmother came from Lviv. He only met them about thrice, until the Polish communist regime fell in 1989, when SteB was 10, and travel from the US to Poland was made easier. His mother came from a wealthy New England family from Boston, who moved to the United States from England in the late 18th Century. At the age of 13, the family briefly moved to Newark, New Jersey, before finally settling in New York City in 1993. There, the 14 year old boy managed to enroll in the Trinity School in New York City, where he remained until the age of 18. In Trinity School, SteB was elected to the School Senate, one of the most notable student organisations in the school, dating back to the 18th Century. There, he managed to become president of the senate, an extremely difficult feat. Notably, the school also taught French, which SteB became fluent in during his time there.
Business Career
He graduated as Valedictorian, and went on to receive a bachelor's degree in business, with a minor in political science in Harvard. He graduated in 2001. Immediately after graduating from university, SteB received an offer to work in Lockheed Martin, in their headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. He worked there for 4 years, before starting his own venture, the Blue Mountain Group. It specialised in Military drones, and was quite successful until 2008, when the stock market crashed, and the company nearly went bankrupt. It took 2 years for SteB to rebuild it, but by 2010 it was growing once again. In 2014, he sold the Blue Mountain Group to the Northrop Grumman Corporation, and moved to Baltimore to start a non-profit organisation aimed at helping the less fortunate, through free healthcare check-ups, soup kitchens, scholarships, and many other rewarding enterprises. After 2 years of painstaking work, the SteB Foundation was up and running, starting in Baltimore, but later spreading, with offices from New York to Richmond to Chicago. He stayed at the foundation for another 4 years, helping it progress, until his political career began.
Early Political Career
In 2020, SteB decided to get into politics. He briefly joined the Federalist Party, and moved to Jefferson, before joining the American Liberal Coalition. He ran for the Fourth Jefferson state legislature seat, beating out Former Rep. Dallas in the party primary with 57.1% of the vote. However, the actual election did not go SteB’s way. He campaigned questionably, and his 20 second rally became a joke. He managed to incur some high-level endorsements, notably from Speaker Arkenstone, but nevertheless the vote did not go his way and he lost to former senator April, by 8.02% of the vote. SteB only managed to get 33.71%, a little over a third, compared to April’s 41.73%. After the failure, SteB decided to become a journalist, working in the ABC as Political Correspondent. He continues to work in the ABC, now as an executive, today.
Representative
The Fourth North State Congressional District was left without a representative in the house after Former Rep. Darby resigned due to some anti-Semitic comments. During this time, SteB was still residing in Jefferson, and planned to cover the special election in-depth. He traveled to the north state, and began working on covering the election, when the ALC candidate, Carlomarx, disappeared. The ALC was given little time to find a replacement, and so SteB was chosen to run in the special election.
The election was extremely close. The campaigning was fierce, and debating was heated and passionate. High-level government officials endorsed all candidates, with the Vice President, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and multiple Former Presidents endorsing different candidates. SteB managed to win with only 26.01% of the vote, only marginally more than a quarter. His main rival for the position, Attorney General Howard Elkridge, was only 2.61% behind.
SteB became the first Deputy Majority Leader, and later became Majority Leader after Majority Leader Thanos was confirmed to the D.C. Circuit Court. He challenged Speaker Rose McAllister for Speaker after Speaker Hale’s expulsion, but did not manage to secure the position
SteB successfully held the seat until the November Federal Election of 2020, when he resigned to seek election to the Senate. Running for a Class I Senate Seat, SteB was outspent by $30,000 and ended up losing with 49.39% of the vote. After a brief tenure as the last D.C. Delegate to the House of Representatives, SteB returned to fill the remainder of Juan Escobar-Mendoza’s term after the former Governor was expelled for inactivity. SteB did not run for re-election in January, but instead challenged incumbent LOTR for the Northern Class II Senate Seat.
State Legislature
SteB was appointed as EPA admin on the 4th of June, 2020, and ran for the Fourth State Legislative District of the North only a day afterwards. This time, the race was much less close, and SteB won with 61.16% of the vote, with his opponent, once again Attorney General Elkridge, trailing behind with 38.84%. In the North State legislature, the most notable piece of Legislation SteB passed was the Northern Anthem amendment, which changed the North State Anthem to a new version. The amendment passed a referendum held along with the July federal election. SteB was also made deputy chair of the north state legislature.
After two terms of serving as the state’s Deputy Chair, Chair Tedd did not run for re-election and instead became Governor, leaving the position open for SteB. SteB is the incumbent chair, and has been presiding over the legislature since the eighth of October.
Party Leadership
SteB has been involved in the running of the ALC and SDP. In the ALC, SteB was the Vice Chair, and later Chair, of the Moderate Caucus as well as Vice Director of the Party. Once the ALC was remade as the SDP, SteB claimed his seat on the SDGC after an unsuccessful directoral run. Two months later, SteB ran once again, and narrowly beat out Rep. Sandra Murphy-Colbert. He is the incumbent Vice Director of the Social Democratic Party.
The District of Columbia
SteB decided to run for the position of D.C. council chair. He won again, with a similar amount of votes, winning with 61.25%. His socialist opponent, Trent, only managed to score 25.39%, and the libertarian governor of Jefferson, Jared, 13.36%. As D.C. council chair, SteB presided daily, and managed to pass the DC Green Employment Act and the rules the council still follows today, albeit with some changes.
Following the 2020 November Senate Run, in which Majority Leader Elkridge narrowly beat SteB in the closest race of that election, SteB ran for D.C. Delegate, and won by a four point margin with 38.8% of the vote. SteB became the last D.C. Delegate in United States history, as he proposed and passed the No Taxation Without Representation Amendment, giving D.C. a voting representative.
Personal Life
SteB lives in Washington D.C, near the capitol, with his family.
