josephine davenport -- district six

A woman who pulled herself away from rock bottom twice and watched her very life dissolve into ash before her eyes both times, Josephine has had enough of being screwed over by an imperfect system. Born into poverty, forced to leave her job due to an unplanned pregnancy out of wedlock, and then watching with horror as the hospital her son worked at blew up in front of her eyes, she'll be the first to to tell you that she knows what hardship and suffering is. And it's a sentiment that's largely reflected amongst the people of her home and her district.

She's tired of sitting on the sidelines. Tired of watching as people like her suffer while the person at the top of the food chain watches through apathetic eyes. And with her career long since ruined and her beloved son dead because of a terrorist attack, she's decided that there's only so much she's willing to take and not directly do something about. She may have lost everything - her career, her son, and her future - but just because she's suffered throughout her life doesn't mean that she can sit idly by and let the same fate affect others. Her platform is one of reform and one of change - building up and assisting the poor, suffering lower classes to give them the same support and opportunity as the rich upper classes, and changing the work and education systems to not so obviously favor the upper class.

Peacekeeper Benedict Tucker approaches Parson Cham. "Excuse me, oh -- it's you, the walking dead. Well, no matter. I need a moment of your time. You've endorsed Josephine Davenport for Mayor. What makes you think she's a worthy candidate?"

Parson Cham

"Walking dead? Real original, Dick." I lean against the street post, not exactly expecting to be approached about this mayoral shit. I guess I better get my foot in the door with these higher up types, Teddy won't keep me forever. "Well out of all of the candidates, I think Ms Davenport is the most down to earth, like her citizens I suppose. It'll be nice to see a real person in the seat. I have only ever seen Bloom once and that was during my reaping..."

PUBLIC OPINION ROLLS

(Clear) It is not often that one manages to go up against an incumbent, especially one as deeply entrenched as Calliope Bloom, and manage to come out with their reputation largely untouched. The fact that Josephine achieved both is, in her eyes, a testament that even if everyone might not agree with her, her message is loud and clear - and generating much thought in the process.

#2: Kiss a baby and it doesn’t cry: dice=5

(Clear) A former single mother, her son was her pride and joy through the good times and the bad. She is no stranger to babies, and they aren't to her.

(Clear) It's difficult to get a media who is biased towards incumbents with deep pockets to support the loud, inexperienced challenger, but Josephine knows people who have connections. The rest is simple, after that.

(Clear) Unlike a certain someone, Josephine has no connection to anything that might be considered illegal or harmful. The physical inspection is a formality, yet one she completes regardless to prove a point.

(Clear) While she's not the best writer, it doesn't take long to find a student from a poor background who is more than willing to edit for her in return for payment. This investment proves to pay off, in the end, as Six's biggest newspaper plasters it on their front page.

#6: Avoid a scandal implicating you with a local beauty: dice=22
1-10 clear
11-22 miss

1-22

(Clear) There's a brief line of attack against her, claiming that since she never married and had a child out of wedlock that that would somehow impair her judgement and leadership abilities. This, of course, is met with a serious blowback from her most ardent supporters - just because her son was not fathered by her husband does not mean that her character is forever stained.

#7: Successfully raise $1,000 in campaign funds: dice=21

(Miss) There are not a lot of funds to be found in Josephine's treasury, but that is by design - why bother spending money in politics when a) it's a battle she'd almost certainly lose to begin with, b) when said money could go to much more worthy causes than a political campaign, and c) when her message is being carried loud and clear across the district even without spending money on advertising?
