So this is an idea that I recently saw as a fun idea. The idea behind this is to make up a person (they can have whatever name you'd like) and try and have them be a lifer from the 1930s-the present day. The Presidential Elections, Gubernatorial Elections, and House Elections of OTL won't change and your Senator (If they won a first term) may die from assassination or natural causes before they reach re-election, in which case you can play as a child or grandchild of that Senator and run for your former seat. You can have up to 2-3 Senators at any given time, that way you will have back-ups.

Now, you will need to put in a bio page like this :



(1930s Hairstyles For Men – 30 Classic Conservative Cuts by Brian Cornwell; Link : https://nextluxury.com/mens-style-and-fashion/1930s-hairstyles-for-men/

Name : Cesar Foley
Age : 34 (Born in 1898)
Party :
Bio : Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah
Senate Seat : Running for First Term in North Carolina in 1932
Elections : 1932 (First Term, Candidate currently)
Political Ranking (Conservative, Liberal, Socialist, Libertarian, Fascist, Communist, Centrist)  : insert ranking here
Family : *Insert Family here*
Positions in Senate (Might change some history the longer you're in Congress) :

You add more and more to your elections each time you win re-election and if you lose re-election, you can run for the other seat of the state, run for your old seat six years later, or be a carpetbagger and move somewhere else.

I'll keep track of everyone's characters via a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ki4lL60TonjZUQnC87kq_yJ6Sbi0QeN2l-pfDljDI88/edit?usp=sharing).

Every Two Weeks, I will make a specific election infobox for that election detailing your candidate and how they preformed and I will update the spreadsheet as well as post an update detailing current players in this mini game. As no player is playing against one another, there will be little to no competition for players unless they're vying for spots like Senate Leader, President Pro Tempore, or Senate Whip within their party.

We can start if there are six players, thus giving us enough to do the game for a short while, by the way, I will keep myself reminded and up to date with this : https://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/2week/

I will PM you in how your campaign is doing when you're in campaign seasons and I will give you personal updates on how your senator is doing healthwise.

Hope to see ya'll join for this fun small project!

Note : The Class 3 Seat for Pennsylvania (1932) has been claimed by New Jersey Suburban Conservative. No one can run for the same seat of someone else.
