Potential Moderate Caucus Leaders Post-4496
- Senator J.P. Murray: Senator from Westbrook and Presidential hopeful in 4496. If he is elected President in 4496, Moderates will have to turn to someone else to fill the void. If J.P. does end up becoming the next Moderate Leader it is likely not much will change as his name is not the only thing Joe Sr. passed down to J.P.
- Secretary Jack Murray: Current Secretary of State and former Governor of Westbrook, as well as the 2nd Oldest of Joe Murray, Sr. A Moderate Caucus under Jack Murray would look much different than a under Joe, Sr. or J.P. Under Jack Murray the Moderate Caucus could possibly shift slightly right to the center of the politcal spectrum.
- Rep. Reid Brennan: Nearly wrestled the mantle away from Joe, Sr. 8 years ago but has sat quietly after his failed attempt. Moderates under Brennan would take a hard shift to the left, possibly even hard enough left to create a internal rift between Moderates.
- former President Sam Gresham: While he has not official entered into any race for public office, rumors have been circulating that former President Gresham could be seeking his old seat in the U.S. Senate. If President Gresham re-entered into the U.S. political scene it is very unlikely the Moderates would turn to anyone other than one of the most popular Baltusian Presidents.
- Senator Bobby Murray or Rep. Eddie Murray: The two youngest of the Murray Boys, neither Bobby or Eddie is likely to succecced their father as Leader of the Moderate Caucus but they stand a much better chance than most Moderate congressmen and congresswomen.
"We are seeing a rise of extremist views on our own continent. In Kanjor, far-right views have leaped from the shadows and into the light. Militant monarchists and xenophobic nationalists have seats in their nation's legislature. The last voice and hope for containing stability, the country's Justice Minister, was forcibly removed from the cabinet, an act that is certainly dictatorial. It has become clear that both the rights of man and the rights of democracy in Kanjor are slowly dissipating as we speak. I call upon Secretary of State Murray to take action against this growing crisis. If we enable far-right views to spread on our continent, then it will only be a matter of time before we plunge ourselves into an infinite abyss of chaos and despair."
We are cooperating with the FIB and the State Department in auditing the recent behavior of Mr. Winarski, specifically in his procurement of the murder weapon. According to purchase records over the past half year, Winarski attended the Ralston state gun show last winter, where he purchased a police style handgun. Late this summer, he was reportedly seen at the "Fire Right" gun store in Hallsboro where he tested said weapon. At said Ralston state gun show, frankly all he needed was $500 and a driver's license, and the gun was his. If he had gone to a normal gun store, he likely would've been subjected to some more checks at the discretion of the store owner. But there really is no unified gun law in either the State of Ralston or Baltusia as a whole, so it's unlikely if he would've been checked further at an ordinary store. Ultimately, it was incredibly easy for this man to obtain a police issue style handgun to assassinate our Commander-in-Chief.
