*This is not politically oriented. I think that this is a good idea.
I got this idea. Here's the template:
Name: (First, Middle, Last, Any generational Number (Sr.; Jr; I; II; III; IV; Etc.) Level: Town Council Town: (Choose any town. Population Below 200,000.) State: Any state. Certain states will have an effect on elections. Position: Candidate Election Status: Current Electoral Position: (Choose: Treasurer; Council Member; Sheriff) Party: (Republican; Democrat; Independent) Ideology: (Liberal; Moderate Liberal; Moderate Conservative; Conservative; Independent) Money: $1,000 Staff: 10 Charisma: 10 Corruption: 0 Misc. Info: (Include what you're aiming at, who you're aiming at, etc. At least 3 sentences.)
I will create your story as you progress. I will start with three people, and progress from there. You don't require much knowledge of politics, as this will be very simplified. Your charisma and corruption points will increase and decrease depending on your decisions. They will always equal 10. You will hire staff, and they will cost money. Money is granted or stolen.
Everyone: The year is 2010. President Barack Obama is president. He has instituted the government stimulus package and our economy is slowly getting on its feet. The expected year the economy will come back fully is 2020. Hopefully in that tie period one or all of you may make it to the senate, maybe even the White House!

Bastrop is a small town, generally peaceful and brimming with local life. However, several of the businesses have used backdoor dealings and hired heavily underpaid illegal immigrants. Also, there are several medium sized gangs that need to be dealt with, as they are causing the drug market to become larger with each passing month.

Info: I want to make the death penalty legal in all states in cases of murder. Law enforcement should get more funding. And cruelty of any kind(including emotional abuse) will be made illegal. And jails will not be furnished like hotels. The money will go to more lucrative things.
Santa Barbara is a pleasant, relatively high end town to live in. However, due its close proximity to LA it has a heavy gang population. You have vowed to use money for more useful purposes such as for heavier law enforcement. However, human rights activists will most likely protest where you are getting the money. As most people know, human rights organizations don't like it when criminals don't get luxury treatment. You can count their vote out (-10,000 votes). You can
