Norman began his line of businesses with a burrito truck known as Bernard\u2019s Burritos. It was not until a few months ago that Wren decided to sell the company. Due to a series of unfortunate events, he found alcohol to help him cope with the trauma from his time in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the help of the Department of Human Services (DHS), he was able to open his new business, the Hub, which according to him is \u201cone of the best one of the best cyber lounges and nightclubs in the state.\u201d<\/em> The Hub was awarded Best Place to Go Dancing and Best Place for Events and Partying in the first Weazel Choice Awards.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from opening and operating the Hub, Norman is also the DHS Veteran Specialist. This position led him to want to run for State Representative, intending to help veterans with affordable housing and other accommodations. In addition to helping Veterans, he plans to work on HR 14.20 and set term limits for the Chief of Staff and Secretary of State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryyan “RyRy” Avery<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Ryan Avery, known to most as RyRy, grew up in Poland, where he was raised with a gaggle of parents. They helped shape his outlook on life as he transitioned into a young adult. His father was especially vital to his personal growth. His father, a veteran of conflict within the Congo, was also responsible for the most iconic part of Avery\u2019s appearance; his helmet. After using it for many years, Avery received his father\u2019s headgear as a rite of passage. He has since made it a permanent part of his look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he became a politician, Avery made large leaps to make the lives of residents of San Andreas better. Despite his outward appearance, he has shown to be a highly competent politician with a strong passion for safeguarding the future of San Andreas. He has become the heart of the people and without a shadow of a doubt, a symbol of integrity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This term, he is adding some focus on reforming the criminal code and increasing support to neglected government departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provided by Ryan Avery,  a portion of his platform is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pushing to create a serial stalking charge so repeat offenders may be punished more harshly for committing this crime more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add DHS to the events fund budget so they can hold state-funded events to receive donations to better the citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as possibly make a bill that allows the PD to give out money for ransoms for ‘high valued’ individuals to decrease the chance of unneeded breaches and to lessen the possibility of casualties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u201cThere are no guarantees in life, so as much as I want to say I got to win – I don’t lie, so I don’t wanna say false promises, or even have the chance of that happening –  I hope I win.\u201d<\/p>\nRyyan “RyRy” Avery<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Avery is highly anticipated to be re-elected this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his brother now aiming to be a lawyer, Milo turned his focus to ensuring the longevity and welfare of San Andreas as a State Representative Candidate. If Tello is elected, one of his primary concerns will be reducing drug abuse within the state. This will include everything from selling drugs to using them. He has dubbed this \u201cWar on Drugs\u201d project \u201cAsclepius.\u201d Tello will also strive to enforce additional transparency through greater public engagement through public opinion and polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
