Emma is currently serving in the United States House of Representatives as the House Majority Leader, and is a member of the Radical Labor Party. Her political views are primarily anarcho-communist in nature, but recently she has taken a liking to Leninism, with Hasta serving as an influence.

Early Life

Emma joined the server early on, after being given the invite by Poke on another Leftist Discord Server. After essentially no consideration, she joined Radical Labor alongside Kaiser, upon hearing that it was the only true Leftist party in the sim. She was fairly quiet at first, but not inactive, except when speaking up to mock people in arguments, when they shared views in opposition to hers. She would continue to maintain a fairly hostile disposition until she finally learned to relax.

Early Career

Emma was among those to sign on when the first round of elections were being prepared for in the sim. She ran in her party's primaries as a candidate for one of the nominations of the House of Representatives in the Northern State. She didn't argue all too much in the debates, as there seemed to be little difference between the candidates, and she ended up winning the nomination.

Following the primaries, she would be with the rest of her party, running almost entirely uncontested in the Northern State. Following the election, they would end up being elected to the House of Representatives, as Representatives of their state.

House of Representatives

After being elected to the House of Representatives, Emma had a nice career of consistently voting in support of reforms that were intended to benefit the American people. She didn't debate much, and she didn't accomplish much of notice. At this point, she was mostly an unknown.

April 2018 Midterm Elections

As midterm elections neared, she would again run in her party's primaries as a Representative. She would receive the nomination, and come the elections, she would be reelected to her seat.

The Second Congress

Emma had been backing [[Butterlands]' rise to power in the RLP, considering his views as leftist that opposed the state; views that she shared. As Butterlands would end up being supported by the RLP for Speaker of the House, he would suggest Emma as House Majority Leader, and the two would end up being elected to their intended positions.

The May Day Affair

During the May Day Affair, when Poke attempted to seize power in the United States, unconstitutionally, to further the interests of the proletariat, Emma's life was in danger as the Capitol was thrown into chaos. However, while the rest of her party and everyone else in Congress turned on the President immediately, she did not move against him directly. She denounced the merciless killing that one of the President's executive orders called for, but otherwise she didn't see anything that stood against the Radical Labor Party's values. Following the President's removal from power and then his flight to Cuba, Emma actively condemned ATLAS for its actions in creating death during the affair, but otherwise wasn't vocal about the event. However, she did not move to denounce Poke, and she stood against her party in its condemnation of Kaiser, an invaluable member of the Executive Branch. Following the Secretary of Education's impeachment, she has lost faith in some of the Party's current leadership, and from her view, they have become too liberal, especially considering they actively parade around that they were responsible for the removal of revolutionaries from office. She remains in the RLP, but her confidence has waned.

Political Positions

Emma is simply a revolutionary socialist in this regard. She needs to read more theory, although she doesn't have enough time to. However, she is staunchly pro-LGBT, anti-racist, anti-fascist, and anti-capitalist.

Religious Views

Emma is a practicing Roman Catholic, which combines oddly (or even conflicts) with her anarchist tendencies. She does not promote her views in the public eye, however.

Personal Life

Emma used to be a fairly rude person but she has since changed, and no longer gets shook about much. Recently, she has adopted Ow, and supported him through his marriage with Hasta and was there to comfort him after its end, because she's a good mother. She has also adopted Kaiser, and Politophile, but has since disowned the latter. She is happily married to Yimir but has yet to see any of her Milk Store money.
