Matthew Hale is an American Politician, Diplomat, and Lawyer who has served several positions throughout the American Government. Hale was a founder and later Chairman of the American Labor Party following the Communist Exodus and also has served as an U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, Northern Governor, President pro tempore of the Senate, Speaker of the House, the United Nations Ambassador under President Lamport, and Secretary of State under the LOTR, Patty, and MichiganLefty Administrations.

Early life and Education

Matthew Hale was born to an upper middle class family in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio to his father Thomas Hale and and his mother Alexandra Hale. Both were working parents. Alexandra Hale was a public school teacher and his father, Thomas Hale, was a Federal Prosecutor. Both are now retired. For high school, Matthew Hale attended Lakewood High School and later went on to attend Georgetown University, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations. Upon graduation, Matthew Hale continued his educational career studying and graduating from Columbia Law school in New York City.

House of Representatives

He served as the Federal Representative for the North's Third District (Ohio and Indiana) for four consecutive terms, later in his terms becoming Dean of the House and Speaker of the House in his final term. He also served as Minority Leader before becoming Speaker. In the House, Hale authored some his first pieces of legislation and worked with the LOTR Administration on things like immigration reform and the federal budget. Following the Exodus of the Communists, the United States House of Representatives was left with a ghost delegation of elected officials. With the new Republican majority, Speaker LOTR began to push Republican policies and legislation. To combat this, Matthew Hale pointed out that the Federal Government should not take drastic policy action in wake of the exodus, especially with millions of Americans lacking representation in the House.
