Purdy is also a former Speaker of the House, former Secretary of Interior, former Speaker of the Dixie General Assembly, where he represented Dixie's second district, along with holding numerous party positions in the past. A long-time activist, Purdy has most recently won reelection uncontested to his House seat, DX-2, to remain as Dean of the House.

Purdy is notable for being Speaker of the House, Speaker of the Dixie Assembly, current Dean of the House, a long-time advocate for the working class, and founder of the News Organization Workers' Internationale.

Early Life, Education, Career

Seeger Purdy was born on October 15th, 1966, in Nashville, Tennessee, at Baptist Hospital, now Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital. Purdy would have an economically rough childhood due to the high costs of the city and lack of a stable income within his family. Moving around multiple times within Tennessee in his early teens, Purdy would settle down in the outskirts of Tiptonville in a rural area just on the Mississippi River.

Despite the challenges presently found in his childhood, he would graduate from Lake County High School as valedictorian of his class. After receiving a full-ride scholarship to the college of his dreams, Vanderbilt University, Purdy would excel academically, making the dean's list each year he was enrolled and graduating with distinction.

Following his graduation, Purdy would permanently relocate back to his hometown of Nashville and pursue politics. Starting as a campaign worker and a political activist, he would work in numerous campaigns within the then State of Tennessee. Following the Nashville tornado of 1998, where his house was damaged, Purdy would relocate to Greenville, Florida, Shreveport, Louisiana, and finally Folly Beach, South Carolina. During this time, Purdy taught History at multiple Universities and was an avid volunteer with local nonprofits.

Political Career

Early Political Career

Continuing his passion for politics and activism, he would continue to build ties with others who shared his love for politics. After extensively working with a few non-profits, he would develop a close relationship with Ricca, a leader of the United Left. Due to their shared political beliefs, Purdy was convinced to run for the House of Representatives in Dixie's 4th district in November of 2020 to gain supporters for the United Left. Receiving just over 2.21% of the vote, Purdy was heavily disappointed with his showing in his first race.

Despite his love for Meteorology and storm chasing, Purdy grew tired of the unique weather patterns in South Carolina and returned to Greenville, Florida, in late November of 2020.

Due to disagreements with the United Left, Purdy would transition to an Independent, then later joined the Social Democratic Party once close friends convinced him to do so.

Upon hearing now-disgraced politician Randy Wilson announce his run for the Dixie Assembly, Purdy immediately decided to run. Still unknown to the public's eye, yet holding strong ties to existing politicians, he received notable endorsements, such as from then-Representative Jeb. Purdy would suffer a heart-crushing loss by just 3.5%, making his race by far the most competitive in Dixie. Notably, this loss is what gave him even more motivation to become a notable figure in politics.
