Early Life
Jack Shunsuke Coulter was born in Hackensack University Medical Center on July 3, 1978. He is the "middle" child of Michael Coulter and Keiko Coulter; his older brother, 43 year old Alex Coulter is a lawyer, and his 40 year old sister, Michiko Weber is an employee of NASA. The family lived in Hackensack until Coulter was 8, at which point they moved to Annapolis, Maryland. Upon graduating high school, Jack pursued a Bachelor's Degree in History at Georgetown University, with a minor in Political Science. Later, in 2003, he received a J.D. from Yale Law School. From 2003 to 2020, he ran his own law firm, with the help of his older brother Michael, until he entered the political arena.
Career
Army National Guard
Coulter was in the Army National Guard from 2005 to 2013. He helped the North rebuild itself after the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy.
NS-4 Federal Bid
Jack Coulter, a new member of the Federalist Party, immediately sprung into action by running for the NS-4 seat, going against John Darby, who had recently moved from his district, NS-5, after his son's suicide, and Judge Red, a relative nobody from the Conservative Party, and part of the "Conservasurge" going on at the time. All three were very strongly debating on the stage, and it wasn't too clear over who would win. Darby is a controversial man, and the other two never ran before, so there was no telling what the results would show. The [American Inquirer]] believed Coulter was most likely to win, ABC News believed Coulter would barely win, and Veritas Post saying Darby would barely win by 1%. In the end, Darby won with 38% of the vote, Coulter with 35%, and Judge Red with 27%. Like a few others in this election that lost, that wasn't the last you would see of him.
NS-6 Special Elections
After Representative Austin Davis resigned facing expulsion, Coulter was put as the candidate in the special election, against American Liberal Party candidate Arkenstone, and Conservative Party candidate LOTR. Coulter was facing strong competition; Arkenstone was another candidate from the previous federal elections and is the EPA Administrator, and LOTR was former President. However, Coulter put up with the challenge and won with 38% of the vote. Arkenstone had 36% and LOTR had a mere 26%.
As Representative
Coulter was sworn in on March 25, 2020, and has since submitted four pieces of legislation into the hopper, of which three would have effect on US Law. The first, the PMSHA Act, would illegalize veterinary surgeries that were currently legal. The second, the Hydropower Expansion Act of 2020, would, as the title suggests, expand hydropower plants across the USA. The latest piece of legislation he submitted, EGREWA, would require unused government property to be sold to an independent party, or to be repurposed as low-income housing and sold to a private landlord. After Cabin Fever was confirmed as Vice President, he was selected by the Federalist Caucus as House Majority Leader.
Personal Life
Jack is married to his wife, Julia, of 13 years. Together they have two children. The older one is 9 year old Jack, and the younger one is 6 year old Grace. They live in North's 6 District together.
