Biography[]
In the aftermath of the attack and the installation of HUD Secretary Tom Kirkman as President of the United States, Congresswoman Hookstraten strongly supports his authority while secretly harboring her own agenda. The Congresswoman served as presumptive Speaker of the House of Representatives until the special election where she was officially elected to the position by the new House of Representatives.
After her support getting SB 8180 passed in the Senate and House of Representatives she became Kirkman's top candidate for Vice President. However one of her former staffers and Senator Jack Bowman conspired against her by releasing information about a trip she took to Turkey which happened shortly before she co-sponsored on a controversial Turkish military aid package. The House Ethics Committee decided to open an investigation into her actions. Hookstraten eventually decided to resign from the Speakership and her seat in the House of Representatives because she felt she could not properly represent her constituents with the scandal looming over her. She used the last of her influence in the House to get art education funding and refinanced art education funding. She is currently President Kirkman’s nominee for Secretary of Education.
