Graham Breckinridge

Graham Breckinridge (b. June 12, 3424) is a Dranish politician of the libertarian Rally for the Republic, as whose Chairman he currently serves. He is the son of former Prime Minister Julia Breckinridge.

Life and Career
He was born in 3424 in Iglesia Mayor as the son of Julia Breckinridge, then-freshman MP and up-and-coming GNP politician, and her husband Paul, a lawyer.

After graduating from school in 3442, when his mother had just become GNP leader, he proceeded to studying economics at the prestigious First Private Dranian University, which is considered an academic stronghold of right-wing thought. Nevertheless, he did not get involved into politics as early as his mother and instead studied for eight years and, upon obtaining his PhD, became a lecturer, researcher and author of several studies on economic issues.

Political Career
In 3470, he was first elected to Parliament on an RFR ticket, the party his mother had just founded as successor to the ailing GNP. He was then promoted to the position of fiscal critic. He consequently advocated fiscal conservatism, lower spending and low taxes as his political agenda.

In 3473, he sought to succeed his mother as RFR chairperson, but was defeated in the leadership election by former Interior Minister Lawrence Steele. After his defeat, he became deputy leader and remained fiscal spokesman for five years before he was finally elected as Chairman following Steele's resignation after a period of electoral stagnation.
