Bartholomew Wheatley

Bartholomew "Bart" Wheatley (born March 20, 1965) is the father of Theodore Wheatley, a former car mechanic, and the current Mayor of Abester, Brun-South. He entered Dogger politics in the Summer of 2021 after observing how aggressive and partisan politics had become again after the passing of his son, Theodore. When he first announced his candidacy for mayor, there was confusion revolving around his identity, due to his striking resemblance to his son, and the various ads put out by the Wheatley campaign that read "Wheatley for Abester." This confusion ended up helping Bart, however, as his son was a local celebrity in Abester. Bart ran as an Independent during the August Abester Mayoral Race, however, he would secure the endorsements of local branches of the Anarcho-Garfieldist Party, the Progressive Libertarian Party, Free & Equal, Doggerland Alliance, and Frontier Liberty, along with the endorsement of then Vice President, Seth Woods. As Mayor of Abester, Bart introduced local versions of the Cooperative Promotion Act (CEP) and Green Exchange Program (GEP). On August 17, 2021, Mayor Wheatley publicly endorsed Apples Clarke for President of Doggerland.

On September 28, 2021, Yma McRachubolk attempted to assassinate then-President Apples Clarke on the floor of the Senate, but failed and fled from the scene of the crime. In an attempt to hide from the law, Yma stole the Thwomp Mobile, which was being used as a monument to Theodore Wheatley in Abester, Brun-South, and escaped to Noardlân. In response, Mayor Wheatley announced, "By stealing the Thwomp Mobile, Yma McRachubolk has disgraced not only the city of Abester, but the legacy of my son, Theodore Wheatley. With the help of Abester law enforcement, we will not stop chasing Yma until she is brought to justice. This just got personal." Bent Jansma responded in support of the Wheatley Family and called on Noardlân to hunt Yma down, and Apples Clarke called on then-Minister of Home Affairs, Avery Wagers to ensure Yma was captured and punished accordingly.

After recovering the Thwomp Mobile from Yma McRachubolk, Mayor Wheatley announced on October 12, 2021 that he was working with the Abester City Council to rename Main Street to Wheatley Boulevard after his son, Theodore Wheatley, and that the Thwomp Mobile monument would be relocated there. The monument would then be monitored by 24/7 professional security personnel to prevent further incidents in the future. Soon after, Mayor Wheatley announced that construction would begin on the Wheatley Center on Wheatley Boulevard to host the annual Wheatley Cup eSports Tournament in Abester.
