Cabin Fever is an medical researcher who serves as United States Senator representing the State of Dixie, and the Speaker of the Dixie General Assembly. Cabin has also served in the House of Representatives and in the Jefferson Parliament. Cabin has been in elected office since August of 2019, and tends to present himself as a representative looking to give all his constituents something to appreciate in the government.

Political Career

Cabin began his political career in the July 2019 Federal Election, running on the Republican Party ticket for the House of Representative seat JF-03 against veteran Labor member NotAName. Though the competitiveness of the race surprised many, he lost 46.3-53.7. With newfound experience, he returned to the political world in the August 2019 State Elections, where he defeated Labor nominee D.a.barchipelago for the fourth district of Jefferson legislative seat, 56.6-43.4. In Jefferson, Cabin spearheaded efforts to expand access to K-12 education, ease restrictions on labor for newcomers to the state, and improve fairness in the criminal justice system. He also ran in a special election for the House of Representatives for District JF-1 against Labor-backed Codegreen and independent Clutchmaster. He secured the seat, 47.0-40.2-12.8.

Cabin had won a position on the Republican National Committee (later taking the Vice Chairmanship) in Dixie over Andrea Glaze, and began making plans to move there from his home in Iowa. In September, he was nominated to run against incumbent Senator Glaze who had since transferred to the Labor Party. After blistering attacks in debate, Glaze dropped out of the race, clearing the way for Cabin to take the seat uncontested. He went on to be selected Majority Leader for the GOP and later the Federalists. Following the November elections, he became Minority Leader for the Federalists in the Senate.

In October, following the dissolution of the GOP, Cabin ran uncontested for a seat in the Dixie state legislature, completing his transition to the state. In an unexpected turn, he was elected Speaker of the Assembly in spite of Labor's 5-2 control of the chamber. After several days of conflict with the Labor majority, including Governor Khalil, attempts to remove Cabin from the head of the chamber died down. There he continues his efforts in education and criminal justice.

Cabin was acclaimed to the Federalist National Committee in December 2019. He was then re-elected to the Dixie General Assembly against rookie Labor candidate Comrade Ando 95.3-4.7. He maintained the Speakership following the midterm election. On December 28, following the death of Gov. Khalil and the resignation of Gov. Blaze, Cabin became the Governor of Dixie by succession, leaving his posts in the Senate and Assembly.

In January 2020, Cabin returned to the U.S. House of Representatives, taking the seat previously held by Andrew Glaze over newcomer Labor candidate Drunken Sailor 61.8-38.2. He was selected as the leader of the joint Federalist-Popular caucus, making him Majority Leader (the joint caucus later dissolved, but the Federalist caucus maintained majority status). Cabin ran for the Federalist chairmanship against J.G.T. Webb, and was elected 55.6-44.4.

In February 2020, Cabin ran for reelection as Governor of Dixie with Lt. Governor Ethan Armstrong. They won uncontested with 100% of the vote. He was also nominated and confirmed as Treasury Secretary. His first elected governorship focused on criminal justice, education, and drug reform, though the productive side of the term was clouded by a nonstop battle with the Dixie Assembly over their numerous failed attempts to ban abortion.

Following redistricting, Cabin switched from his DX-1 House seat in the March Federal Election, running instead for DX-3 against American Liberal rookie Macelo Vanderbilt, and winning a blowout victory 80.3-19.7. However, the Federalists saw a tough election, with Cabin being the only veteran member returning to the House of Representatives. He chose not to run for re-election as Federalist Chairman, and Rincewind took over, followed soon after by J.G.T. Webb. But, with the merge of the Federalist and Conservative Parties, he returned to chair the party through the transition period.

In April 2020, Cabin was nominated to serve as President Valerie's Vice President following J.G.T. Webb's resignation. He was confirmed unanimously by the Senate, and 11-1 by the House, taking office on April 9 and resigning his other positions.

Other Work

In July of 2019, Cabin founded the Starset Society, which aimed to educate the public and lawmakers on advancements in technology and how to best utilize them. The Society remained in operation through the end of August, but was closed prior to the September elections. In July, he also joined NotAName at the Orwell Institute, which had sought to monitor rises in authoritarian efforts throughout the country. In August, ownership of the Institute was transferred to Cabin, though NotAName joined shortly after, and the organization was jointly operated. Its doors closed in November. Cabin was briefly a contributor at Brandeis Magazine. He was briefly a contributor at Citizen's Forum, and lead Veritas Polling for a time, developing their likely voter model. He founded and continues hosting talk and debate show The Stage.
