Andy McCandless (born March 13, 1985) is a Lovian progressive and environmentalist politician, former Walden party chairman and the Federal Secretary of Energy and Environment.
Politics[]
McCandless was a political newbie when he adopted the former Liberal Party in November 2009. He changed the political course into an environmentalist-libertarian course and changed the name into Walden Libertarian Party.
In the Federal Elections, 2010, the WLP teamed up with the Liberal Democrats. McCandless was the Coalition LD+WLP's joint candidate so as to become Prime Minister. By the end of January though, he continued campaiging without the support of the Liberals. The elections were won by Yuri Medvedev and McCandless came in third, being elected Member of the Congress.
At his inauguration, he was appointed Secretary of Energy, Environment and Transportation. His first major accomplishment as Secretary was the 2010 Highway Plan. This plan included the total reform of the current highway system. It was accepted by Congress March 24th and was set in action in April.
After the 2010 Mid-Terms, the Department of EET was split up in a Department of Energy and Environment, still led by McCandless, and one for Transportation, led by Secretary Evans.
In August 2010, McCandless and his colleague Martha Van Ghent reformed their party into Walden (leaving out "Libertarian Party") and adopted a more social and less classical liberal manifesto.
McCandless was narrowly elected as Governor of Oceana in the 2010 State Elections over conservative candidate Oos Wes Ilava, who became Deputy Governor. The two were renowned among governors for working closely together. Due to failing health, he resigned as Governor on January 18, 2011.
Andy also served a year in congress from 2012-2013, with the Labour Party, but was not re-elected with the Party.
