Valerie is a Jeffersonian politician in the United States.

Parliament

Elected to the Parliament of Jefferson in October, 2018, her first legislative achievement was lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 amid some Progressive opposition. She was re-elected in October and further elected Speaker. Soon after, however, Governor Peanut resigned unexpectedly and Lieutenant Governor CoolDad resigned as well, rather than take office, so she was called upon to succeed to the Governorship.

First Governorship

Valerie recognized neither she, nor her party, were elected by the people to govern the Commonwealth so she committed to hold office in a non-controversial and generally non-partisan manner. She nominated the leading Progressive, NotAName, to serve as Lieutenant Governor. She did not seek her own mandate in next gubernatorial election and she was succeeded by codegreen in February.
