Annie Brown

Annie Brown was an American politician and educator who served as the 59th President of the United States from 2085 to 2093. She was the first member of the Green Party to ever be elected president. In both her first election victory unseating incumbent Caleb Webber in 2084, and her re-election in 2088 United States presidential election she gained over 60% of the vote, a feat that hadn't occurred in American politics since the 1800s.

Early life
Anne "Annie" Dubois Brown was born on October 7th, 2029 in New Orleans, Louisiana. She and her family lived in the city from the time she was born until 2041, when they moved to Baton Rouge in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia. She graduated from Belaire High School, Baton Rouge, in 2048. She attended Louisiana State Unviersity in Baton Rouge, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science in 2053.

After graduating from LSU, Brown moved back to her birth city of New Orleans, and taught political science at the University of New Orleans from 2056 to 2073.

Political campaigns
Annie Brown first ran for the presidency in 2072, and garnered an impressive 11.2% of the vote, coming in third. She also ran for president in 2076. She was the frontrunner for the presidency for much of the 2080 campaign cycle, and her populist tone and unabashed environmentalism won many over. However, despite winning a 41% plurality of the popular vote in 2080, no candidate won a majority of the Electoral College, and her Republican opponent Caleb Webber was elected president by the United States House of Representatives.

Following the contentious House of Representatives vote, the government of Louisiana (her home state) decided to declare independence from the United States, despite her not supporting this herself. The Louisiana Rebellion was crushed by the United States military in February 2081, just two weeks after it began. As a concession, the United States Congress agreed to consider a constitutional amendment to end the Electoral College (the 35th Amendment passed in May 2081.)

The western half of Louisiana generally supported the rebellion less than the eastern half, which also led to them splitting away from Louisiana, creating the states of West Louisiana and East Louisiana in April 2081.

Annie Brown went on to defeat Webber by a wide margin in 2084, winning 62% of the popular vote and nearly every state's popular vote.

Presidency
The Brown administration oversaw many fundamental reforms to American democracy and the American social safety net. A UBI was instituted in 2085, for $4500 USD per month (roughly $1500 USD in 2021.) She also signed bills passed by the Green-controlled congress to construct a $4 trillion levee project along the Gulf coast. National ranked choice voting was instituted in 2090, during her second term.

Later life
Brown left the presidency in January 2093, and her Vice President Sara Ribo succeeded her. She lived in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, from 2093 to her death in 2113.
