Originally elected as a city councilor for the city of Dallas back in 2035 to fill a vacant spot, he served part of one term and a full four-year term on the council. In 2040, he was elected Mayor of Dallas with 43% of the vote and served one four-year term, after which he resigned from politics in 2044 in a speech which was described as not being his “last press conference”. He said he would instead like to eventually “cover the events that shape today’s political system” from the outside and that he was “done with all the commotion of politics for now." He remained out of the limelight for a while, only making infrequent campaign speeches for various people or issues, but as promised, he became a journalist in January of 2047. He addressed the people in which he said he aimed to “add a new spin to the news and provide new perspectives to today’s issues.”
