Gabriela Morales

"One Way Or Another"

 

 

“You can call me Gabby.”

 

After replacing the popular outgoing state senator, Gabriela Morales stood proudly on the sun-soaked streets of Los Santos. It wasn’t the high life or worldwide praise and renown that got her into politics - nor was it, really, about the ‘public good’ and ‘need’ of the state she was elected to serve. When she pondered it, she doesn’t really know why she’s doing it at all - sure, she had a natural knack for politics, rivalling a electoral record similar to Franklin Delano Roosevelt (albeit, for class president) but really, why was she doing this?

 

I suppose not everything needs an answer - why are postmen, postmen, why are horribly corrupt businessmen, horribly corrupt businessmen? Ultimately I guess you can pine it down simply to ‘just one of those things’. Born to a nurse and an engineer, Gabriela never really had it tough, in her childhood, her and her family were always known to be ‘getting-by’, Biennial vacations to Las Venturas, Salt Lake City, Vice, Disneyworld, sure, but her mom drove a crappy Sedan and her dad took the bicycle - for his health, apparently.

 

Politically, her and her family were always proud, card-carrying Democrats, while they leaned more on the moderate side, Gabriela always had bigger visions of grandeur and progressivism. Of course, back in the late nineties, the most progressive you’re going to get is Al Gore. What really inspired Gabriela was the rise to fame of politicians like Bernie Sanders in his ‘16 run and the election of politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & Rashida Tlaib. Progressive, forward-thinking, European-left politicians taking places of more moderate, right-wing Democrats. Urged to become part of the democratic revolution, Gabriela began working more and more within the Los Santos Democratic Party. While she considered the city-level party to be simply full of dinosaurs and poor press management, it was, well, a start.

 

One thing after another, when the city party held a contest after the surprise retirement of the current state senator, Gabriele rallied the troops and stormed to the ballots, capturing the hearts of the youth of the Democratic party - the very youth she had once been a part of, the very youth she knew were actively annoyed. “It’s not the young folks that vote, Gabby.” “Don’t waste your time moving left, the world is moving right.” With the election of Donald Trump, she believed the party believed people were moving right - in her view, it was the reverse. Opposites attract, right?

 

Feisty, with little time for ‘decorum’ or formalities, Gabriela storms in with a social media-heavy presence, and, heart by heart, intends to capture the rest of the state, and ultimately drag the party, or at least within the state, to the left, with the aim, and hope, of dragging San Andreas kicking and screaming with her into progressivism.
