Álvaro Hunter



Álvaro Hunter was an American politician who served as the 55th President of the United States from 2069 to 2073. He was elected in a historic landslide in 2068, and was the only Republican to ever win the state of New Columbia or its predecessor, Washington D.C., on the presidential level. However, he lost the 2072 election to Democrat David Cummings, albeit while winning the popular vote narrowly, due to worsening economic conditions and perceived inaction on climate change, which was a central issue of his first campaign.

Early life
Álvaro Hunter was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 2031, and grew up in the city's northern side. His mother was a Portuguese immigrant, and his father had lived in the Paterson area for about 15 years. He lived in poverty for most of his childhood. Hunter graduated from International High School in Paterson in 2050, and attended the University of Massachusetts in Boston from 2053 to 2057.

U.S. Representative (2061 – 2069)
Hunter served as a U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district from 2061 to 2069. He was well-known for his feisty speaking style.

Presidency
Hunter was the youngest President ever elected in the United States, at just 37 years old when he took office. While his campaign focused heavily on climate change, the measures his administration took to combat it were widely seen as fairly modest. However, he was well known for his administration (and majority-Republican Congress) instituting many social welfare programs to help those in poverty.

Later life
Hunter died on March 21st, 2107 in his home in Raritan Township, New Jersey, at the age of 75.
