John Carmen-Allen

John Carmen-Allen is a freshman senator from Darseny, a rural, moderately conservative, and mostly agricultural outlying island that is threatened heavily by the effects of climate change. In what was widely considered to be a huge political upset fueled by Darsenian farmers realizing the severity of their ecological threat after wildfires and mudslides destroyed the last seasons harvest, the citizens of his district voted out his predecessor, a leader in the Patrium Social Front, in favor of the left-anarchist-libertarian People's Liberation Party and its radical environmentalist policies.

Beliefs
Carmen-Allen himself is a Quaker and a Bookchinite, favoring direct democracy through local councils, social ecology, community-based defense, guaranteed human rights, and general decentralization.

Background
Before becoming a senator, he was elected to his local soil and water management board, and then to the mayorship of his small town of Springlake. In Darseny, Carmen-Allen is affiliated with the Darseny Green-Farmer-Worker Party, which is the local affiliate of the People's Liberation Party. His nonpolitical background is in agriculture and education, working as a farm laborer from his youth through college, then as a botany professor at Darseny College.
