Early Life and Education
Tedd Ddet was born in Fyreburg, Maine on May 11th, 1975. After graduating high school with top marks, he pursued a mechanical engineering doctorate at Boston University. He graduated at the age of 24, performing relativey well compared to his peers. He worked as a materials engineer in various aerospace companies for 20 years, starting in 1999. He left his current company at the time, SpaceX, for higher education in 2016 to earn a doctorate in law. After graduating with a majors degree in 2020, he ran for his first political office. Outside of politics, he is a staunch lover of invention, creating various machines and contraptions for his own enjoyment and convenience. Of course, most of the time they end up completely useless, as most inventions do. However, he once managed to program a neural network to spit out political speeches that were both logical, realistic, and meaningful. He was so touched by this, that he decided to start thinking about getting into politics. He doesn't have a wife, as he is still looking for "the one."
Early Career
Ddet first entered the political world on January 30th, 2020, and was recruited by James C. Order to be one of the founding members of the American Liberal Party, now known as the American Liberal Coalition. He was made a member of the Liberal Party's original National Committee, and later became the Vice Chair, after both John Darby and Bruce Hill stepped down. It is now when he starts pursuing political office.
Experience Being a Representative
After Darby's unexpected resignation from public office, Ddet immediately decided to run for his district, District 5 of the North, and became part of the Liberal Party's first official candidacies, along with founder, and at the time, Chair, Order. His only opponent was Independent Yimir, who wasn't new to politics, but she had taken a long hiatus before running in this race. Both put up a strong fight in this race, but ultimately Tedd won with almost 55% of the vote. During this time, Tedd was learning the ins and outs of Congress, which might explain the reason why he didn't submit bills during the 32 days in the House. However, he did have a near-perfect voting record, voting on all but one bill that was on the house floor.
As a Senator
Ddet, after gaining political experience in the House, chose to run for the Northern Senate Class II Seat, which at the time was held by Thanos May. This election, he had a little more competition to beat. He had the incumbent, Thanos, and Former President LOTR. However, Thanos dropped out the day voting opened, which left disgraced former President LOTR and Ddet, a representative from a special election. Most polls showed LOTR winning by a very small margin, and both debated hard, campaigned heavily, and received many endorsements from large names in politics. But on March 9, the results were in. Ddet had won with 47% of the vote, LOTR with 42%, and Thanos getting a small 10%. After swearing in, he was selected by his caucus to be Majority Leader. Ddet hasn't engaged in debate much at all; but, akin to his time in the House, he has missed only one vote on the floor. He hasn't introduced any bills.
American Liberal Leadership
Since its founding, Tedd Ddet has been a member of the American Liberal National Committee (ALNC). From its founding date of February 2, 2020, to February 13, 2020, he was a regular member of the ALNC. When Bruce Hill resigned as Vice Chair of the American Liberal Party on February 10, the National Committee voted to make him Vice Chair. He served as Vice Chair until the next party leadership elections. He became Director of the Coalition on April 4, after the ALNC unanimously voted to make him Director, succeeding former Chair and founder of the party James C. Order.
