[b]Years in Office:[/b] 12

[b]Political Party/Faction within that party:[/b] Republican, Moderate

[b]Ethnicity/Religion:[/b] Generically Evangelical. Somewhat cloudy affiliation. 

[b]Character Background:[/b] Born to the politically active Pollaxes family of North-Eastern Missouri, Tommy is associated with the political machine in his district and is not as intensely ideological as many of his fellow politicians. Unique to the Pollaxes, Tommy was born with Dwarfism, but it has done little more than endure him to his constituency in ways that allow him to succeed politically where members of his somewhat controversial old-guard family cannot. Tommy has taken to heart the family legend that they are descended from the ancient Gaulic king Vercingetorix, and as such has a passing interest in things related to the ancient Gauls and Romans. Wears and impressive horseshoe mustache.
