Character Gender/Age Range Description
Paige Caldwell F 20’s – 50’s
A professional pollster. A smart, confident woman with a
professional view of politics. She sees it as a series of contests to
be won.
Dave Riley M 30’s – 50’s
The Chief of Staff to the new Governor. Very smart, but
despite years of experience in government, endearingly earnest and
naïve in the subject of politics.
Louise Peakes F 30’s – 60’s
A temporary employee hired as the Governor’s executive
assistant. Personable, likable, impressively confident, and entirely
inept. Without knowing it, she has the air of a politician about her.
The friendliness of her smile, and the confident way she looks you in
the eye would make you think, “I’d vote for her!”
Ned Newley M 50’s – 70’s
The new Governor. A person of impressive ability but
completely lacks confidence. A man awaiting permission to enter a room
in which he is already standing.
Arthur Vance M 40’s – 70’s
One of the most experienced and successful political
consultants in the country. His overbearing personality, and confidence
in his own opinions over the opinions of others, should make him
dislikable but his ego is more than tempered by the joy, even glee, he
brings into the room. He is a showman, but his excitement is 100%
genuine, and it is contagious.
Rachel Parsons F 20’s – 50’s
A TV news reporter. She has the “looks” to be an on-air
correspondent however, if television had never been invented, she still
would have been a journalist. Straightforward, honest, and inquisitive
by nature. She has seen enough of life and politics to be cynical, but
she is more apt to make a wry joke.
A.C. Petersen M 30’s – 60’s
A TV cameraman. A working man and, for most people, they
guy you did not notice was there which is find with him. He has a low
tolerance for idiocy and would rather not interact with anyone. His
silence does not make him seem unfriendly, just a bit of a mystery.
