TheZinator

Hambone McQuaid, also known as TheZinator or theZinator, is a Dogger politician and labor leader who is currently a member of the National Assembly as a member of the Labor Workers' Party. Prior to holding elected office, McQuaid was active in the labor movement of his hometown of Longport, where his father was a longshoreman. McQuaid worked as a union representative after graduating from the University of Doggerland-Longport before studying labor law at Georgetown University in the United States. After returning to Doggerland, McQuaid worked in labor organizing and acted as counsel for several major unions across Doggerland. He also worked as an advisor to several LWP politicians at the local, provincial, and national levels, most notably Robert La Follette, a leading member of the LWP and Minister of Labor for the Triangle Government. It was on La Follette's recommendation that McQuaid was nominated as the LWP's Senate for the Eighth District. McQuaid came in second place in the first round of the election, but was defeated in the second round by the incumbent senator, Marius Hawyee of the Communist Party. After this defeat, McQuaid stepped back from electoral politics and focused on his law practice, labor organizing, and family life. During the August 2021 elections, McQuaid decided to return to electoral politics, and was granted one of the LWP's list seats in the National Assembly by party leader Avery Wagers.
