Mandate

You never wanted political power. What began as a misguided marketing campaign for your struggling startup somehow transformed into a stunning electoral victory. Now, against all logic and expectation, you are the youngest governor in state history. The public sees you as a refreshing outsider. Journalists are desperate to uncover the “real strategy” behind your rise to power. But the truth is far simpler: You never intended for any of this to happen. With no political machine, no hunger for authority, and no established allies other than your trusted roommate and walking encyclopedia of a friend, you must navigate corruption, media pressure, partisan warfare, and the crushing responsibility of leadership itself as well as handle several state crises. In a world filled with people desperate to obtain power, you may be the only person who never wanted it at all. Can you last even one term with your integrity intact, let alone two if you wish to run again? Will the state fall into further ruin, or flourish under a new candidate who may or may not reform it?
