Cali Shepard

Cali Shephard is a Dogger politician who currently serves as leader of the United Socialist Front.

Early Life
Cali Shepard was born December 21, 1986. She is the daughter of a union organizer from Abester in Brun-South. She watched her father organize and protest for expanded labour rights as she grew up. When she was a teenager she would go out with her father to the protests and witnessed exactly why her father was fighting for labor rights. The conditions of the factories and businesses were abysmal and they were getting paid scraps for break breaking labour. Around this time is when she met former MNA Gus Hall who became her mentor. He showed her what it took to organize and fight for their rights as workers as well as what the State would do to halt it. He also brought her into the world of politics, and educated her on national labor law. Soon though Gus Hall would retire due to his declining mental and physical health and she would be thrust into the world of politics.

National Assembly
Cali Shepard entered politics on the national level on November 11, 2022 after Gus Hall stepped down citing health concerns. She became a member of the National Assembly and swiftly went to work creating the Labour Relations Act. During her time in the assembly she would go on to become Co-Leader of the United Socialist Front, now the United Socialist Left, alongside James Cronin (MKJ). During the early weeks of December Miss Shepard announced her bid to become Senator in District 4. After an exciting election night and with a strong showing of USL members she was elected as Senator to District 4 alongside Peter Stephan Mahon (Prison Mike).

Senate
Now Senator Cali Shepard was welcomed into the Senate on December 11, 2021. She joined as a part of the Pink Tide which saw other leftists such as James Cronin and Avery Wagners join the ranks. A week later on December 19, 2021 Miss Shepard was unanimously elected Senate Premier after no one else challenged her. Since becoming Premier she has seen six different pieces of legislation enter the halls of the Senate alongside two constitutional amendments.

Presidential Medal of Honor
On December 28, 2021 Cali Shepard was awarded a Presidential Medal of Honor. She was given this award due to her upset election victory to Co-Leader position within the USL beating Captain Looch and MKJ. She also managed to reform the USL towards a more reformist and democratic path and cut out most of the militant wing of the party. She was also given this award due to her electoral success in the District Four Senate election and her time so far as Senate Premier.
