Ambition -d4- Newton moved quickly up the political chain. He is expected to announce a bid for the presidency after his term is complete. Every move he makes in public is calculated to put him one step closer to Washington.
Barbarians at the Gate -d4- Newton is well protected by his political contacts. But he's made plenty of enemies in his climb in every newspaper and amongst the power players in DC. He's safe in the nest he's built for himself through a combination of obligation and fear. The forces outside his control, however, would love to see him fall.
Dot Governor -d12- Newton embraced technology in his home state. While government turns slowly, he's quickly adapted to new technologies ranging from free wireless in every city park to an app that displays how much time left on the parking meter. This mastery of tech also gives him plenty of ways to monitor enemies, hack political rival's emails and blackmail anyone who messes with him.
Patron of the Arts -d8- The Governor always has his press conferences at a gallery or museum. His personal collection is also extensive.
You Scratch My Back, I'll Stab Yours -d12- Newton comes from an old money family. Money means connections, and old money means many connections. He's got old friends in every office and stacks of favors ready to get him out of any scandal. Anyone that crosses him finds themselves under extreme pressure to leave the state.
