Newsflash: Dunkelzahn Running for President

Dunkelzahn:

Independent

Dunkelzahn is a great Western dragon, and his running mate is a human named Kyle Haeffner. Dunkelzahn's platform is "A New Golden Age" The dragon proposes to remind the UCAS of what made it great in the past- Canadian-American ingenuity, and the ability to believe in and act according to an ideal- and to help all citizens share in that greatness.
He also plans to encourage all metahumans to rejoin UCAS society by offering one-time amnesty to all those without SIN numbers, creating an opportunity that will allow every male female and child to register with the UCAS government without fear of reprisal.

Kyle Haeffner is a Boston-area investor and multi-millionaire; he is also a good friend of Damien Knight who recommended him to Dunkelzahn as a running mate. His late wife Alice was one of the young "data mavericks" recruited by Echo Mirage to deal with the crash more than twenty years ago, and was also one of the first deckers killed by the virus in cybercombat.
Kyle Haeffner has since remarried and has thrown himself entirely into aiding important charitable institutions with his considerable fortune.
