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), before they would pass nationally later that month.
