Kim Rosen

Kim Rosen is a Member of Parliament and former Chancellor of Cantonia.

Rosen was first elected to Parliament in May of 2222 in the 2222 Cantonia Election, she had previously been a local lawyer and community organizer. Rosen was a popular new member of parliament and had given many important speeches around the country on issues from economics to agriculture and defense, often gathering crowds of thousands.

In her first few months in Parliament Rosen was appointed Minister of Agriculture under Chancellor Wilson. She held that post for 3 years and was the youngest Minister in the government at the time. She also had the fastest rise to a ministerial role in Parliamentary history.

Rosen was moved to Minister of Health in a cabinet reshuffle, a promotion, and she played a key role in several major healthcare legislation pieces of the Wilson administration. When Chancellor Wilson resigned, Rosen was allowed to stay on as Minister of Health under Chancellor Grovin. Rosen resigned from the post in 2229 to focus on a tough re-election battle in her district and to help other members in trouble fund-raise, a popular move for her at the time with other party members.

When the NDP lost the majority in the 2230 Cantonia Election, Rosen became Shadow Minister of Education in Grovin's opposition shadow cabinet. She served in that post for four years under Leaders James Grovin and Angela Kern and helped with Kern's victory in the leadership race upon Grovin's ousting.

In 2235, after Kern lost the 2234 Cantonia Election, Rosen orchestrated a leadership spill and was able to win a majority on the first ballot. Rosen forced Angela Kern out of office and took her post as Leader of the Opposition.

Rosen's tenure as Leader of the Opposition gave way to the most vocal and energetic leader of the opposition in history. Rosen was widely liked, however, was unable to win her first elections due to issues with many NDP candidates and several major scandals between candidates. Rosen was however, able to pick up many seats in the 2238 Cantonia Election and 2242 Cantonia Election which gave her party a lot more confidence in the young leader, especially after a poor showing in the 2235 Cantonia Election upon the collapse of the National Party.

Rosen gave a very publicly loved speech in 2243 in opposition to the "Moderate Party's extreme drama in selecting and maintaining a Leader" and this gave her party a considerable boost and unified platform of economic change and strong leadership for the next general election. In 2245 Max Chenan took over the moderate party and gave them a large enough energy boost to win them the next election, though the party dipped massively in the polls shortly after and had been declining up until the vote. Most news sources believe that should the vote have been held just a few days later, the novelty of the new Chancellor would've been gone and Rosen would've won. Rosen, nevertheless, lost her party the election in the 2246 Cantonia Election losing just one seat. She immediately began campaigning for the next election which convinced her party to keep her on as Leader of the Opposition for another election.

Rosen was the longest serving leader of the opposition in history, serving fifteen whole years in the post. Many were amazed by her ability to get the party to keep her in the job so long after losing four elections straight (and the party losing two more before it).

Kim Rosen's extreme campaigning against the lack-luster performance by the moderates' 20 years in power and Max Chenan's new war lead her to a massive 2250 Cantonia Election victory to the relief of her supporters who believed she would lose her seat as leader of the party should she lose another election. Rosen became the Chancellor of Cantonia and by the largest margin in history with the largest seat count in history in 2250 and went on to use her star power to achieve many of her legislative hopes.

Rosen remained popular throughout her first term as Chancellor and won re-election in the 2254 Cantonia Election and later in the 2258 Cantonia Election. Rosen decided to retire as Leader of the NDP shortly before her final election in 2262, and instead allowed MP Bridget Candice to take over. Candice would go on to lose the general election and Rosen would retire from Parliament soon after.
