Lohengramm
Lohengramm is an American and Dixie politician, joining AGS in early September of 2018. Beginning his political career by being appointed to the House of Representatives to fill a vacancy, Lohengramm joined the Democratic Party in his early days. He soon became the Public Relations coordinator. However, when the Democratic Party Coup took place, a coup to remove politophile from the chairmanship, Lohengramm manipulated both sides, urging on the Democrats to coup Politophile while feeding Indyprez information, causing the Democratic Party reputation to tank while also getting Politophile removed. Soon after the failure of the DNC, Lohengramm became Deputy Leader, with Mega being chair. Lohengramm launched a bid for the governorship, after the previous one had vacated office. Deapite running as a Democrat, he won 66% to 33% and became Governor. Soon after he took the Democratic Party and made it the New Whig party, and served as Vice-Chair, although he did most of the heavy lifting. He quickly began reforms, helped draft the Constitution, and created the first budget and tax reform. He also authored, sponsored, and passed reforms pertaining to Education, the Environment, and other miscellaneous laws. He created the Center for Extraterrestrial Development, also known as the CED, drafted the Executive Order Amendment (which passed) and helped create free nighttime literacy classes.
After serving a successful and widely recognized first term, Lohengramm ran for re-election against Godbout and another candidate, running as an independent himself. He won 53% of the vote in a 3 way race.
Parties and Organizations
Lohengramm has a long-standing relationship with the parties and organizations of the Sim, specifically those on the left, as well as third parties. He first joined the DNC, which he later helped bring down and destroy. After this, he created the New Whig party, a moderate left wing party. During this time, he formed the Social Democrat Alliance with Butterlands. The SDA would remain a mainstay in American politics for some time. Eventually the Communist Party re-emerged. Lohengramm then created the Leftist Congress, which had the New Whigs, Progressives, Communists, Independent Affiliates, and New Democrats. The New Democrats would fail, and Lohengramm soon killed the New Whig party with the help of Kori. The Leftist Congress dissolved soon after. Lohengramm was staunchly anti-Communist for a time after this, even forming a secretive anti-communist league in his famous "shack" and for a brief period reformed the Independent Equality Party into the American Party, giving it a new Platform and Constitution. He would leave this party not long after the reform, because it was inactive and had no staying power. During the Gubernatorial election, Lohengramm became more accepting of Communists, and even hinted at joining over twitter. However, the Progressive Party would not allow him to join and still run for Governor because they had a candidate, Godbout, already running, was in a coalition deal with the Communists. Because of this, Lohengramm waited until the campaigning ended to join the Communist Party, which he stayed in until the Second Communist Exodus.
Post Communist Days
After the February Federal Election, and the Second Communist Exodus, Lohengramm didn't leave politics. He founded the AGS Members Union and also became a founding member of the Labor Party. He was elected leader ahead of Matthew Hale, but had a rocky relationship with the Party membership. He eventually left the party and became independent again.
He was banned, on May 6th 2019, in a case he hotly disputes with the then mods, for toxicity. He has since returned on November 11th, 2019. Since then, he has formed the American Popular Party.
