    huh. so “sleeper female”.

    Probably going to just ask dad how she should vote on any particular issue. So he’ll get to be governor and still control the seat he vacated.

    That’s genius. Evil, but genius.

      It’s not genius, that’s how political dynasties work. It’s why having entire families in politics usually leads to terrible outcomes.

        May not be genius, but it works to some extent. Dynasties have been very popular for millennia, so that means it’s at least somewhat successful. Probably not good for the nation or the citizens, but at least dynasties don’t implode during the first year.
