Andrew Lodge

Andrew Joesph Lodge is an American politician who served as the 44th President of the United states from 2013 to 2017. Lodge previously served as the 12th Governor of Westerly.

born and raised in Westerly, Lodge's political career began when he was elected as Mayor of Kaiser City in 1990. He rose up the political ladder by serving in both chambers of the Westerly Congress, before being elected Governor in 2001, succeeding the retiring Republican Governor Jack Reynolds.

Lodge had reportedly been eyeing the presidency since early 2007, and, after Edison Lott's two terms, Lodge snatched his chance. He and his running mate, Cascadia Senator Joe Suturo, ran on a campaign that mostly focused on the younger portion of the American voting populace. Lodge's opponent, William Rodney, however, had better speaking skills and was overall a more popular choice. Lodge barely won the 2012 election, and his ultimately disastrous economic and social policies led to his defeat in the 2016 election.
