Byron Donalds



Byron Donalds was an American politician who served as the Governor of Missouri from 2045 to his death in 2050. He was also the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2048 alongside presidential candidate Max Carpenter; they lost the race to Laura Les and Marco Sosa. Prior to being Governor of Missouri, Donalds served as a member of the Missouri State Senate from 2035 to 2045 and as the mayor of his native Carthage from 2031 to 2035.

Donalds lived in Carthage from his birth to when he was elected governor in 2044. He graduated from Carthage Senior High School in 2006. He worked several service jobs as a young adult, and eventually got a job volunteering for Donald Trump's presidential campaign during the 2016 presidential election. He became more interested in politics around this time, and became a well-known conservative activist in the mid-2020s.

Donalds was elected mayor of Carthage in 2030, an event that was noted in several national news sources due to his status as a fairly well known conservative media figure. This popularity enabled him to also run for and win a seat in the Missouri State Senate in 2034. After he was elected governor, he resigned his seat in the Senate.

As governor, Donalds was known for his largely very conservative policy positions, but he also had some economically left-leaning policies, likely due to his working class upbringing. He was selected as a vice presidential candidate by nominee Max Carpenter in the 2048 presidential race, which they lost alongside Donalds' re-election to a second term as Governor that same day. Donalds died by suicide inside the Governor's Mansion in 2050, at the age of 61.
