History[edit]
Joseph Crosby was born in 1990 as the second son of William and Sarah Crosby, in Penguin Town. He had an older brother, Ryan, and a younger sister, Elizabeth. During much of his early life, Antarctica was under Puffish rule, and he witnessed many of the rebel groups and movements against the Puffish, including many important ones, such as the Penguin Town Coffee Riot and the Plaza Mauling. This would one day inspire his political career.
When the Colonial Antarctica War broke out in 1999, Joseph was too young to join the army, and instead stayed at home, helping his parents and younger sister. To pass the time, Joseph read many books about history, law, and ideology, further inspiring him. He also helped the rebel cause by helping make bullets and supplies, and helping raise money for rebel soldiers.
After the war was over, Joseph moved to the Antarctic Peninsula, where he bought a house in the outskirts of Shiverpool, which at the time was under Acadian rule. When the territory changed hands and became part of the USA, he decided to stay there, despite invitations from his brother to move to neighboring Acadia. He later became a lawyer, and within two years, founded his own successful law firm in Shiverpool.
He eventually married a girl named Susanna in 2008, had one child, a boy named John. In the 2010 Shiverpool Mayoral Elections, Joseph ran, and won by a close margin. During his term, his conservative policies helped the city prosper and grow. Joseph gained much popularity as a mayor, and decided to run for Representative in the Antarctic Peninsula House of Representative. His bid was also successful, and he won.
Joseph continued to gain popularity amongst the conservatives in both the House and the Antarctic Peninsula. So, when the 2014 elections came, Joseph decided to take it a step further, and run for the Senate of the United States of Antarctica. Due to his major popularity and the success of his initiatives during his years as mayor and Representative, Joseph won the seat.
In the Senate, Joseph voted into law many conservative bills that improved the economy, military, and transportation of the USA. He also became the Senate Majority Leader. However, in the 2016 Elections, instead of running for a second term, Joseph announced to a cheering crowd that he would run for President of the United States of Antarctica. He became very popular, and was endorsed by numerous conservatives.
During the elections Joseph won primaries in Antarctic Peninsula, Trans-Antarctica, and Weddell, and city primaries in Club Penguin City, Inland, Newton Town, and Shiverpool. According to a poll as of August 2016, Joseph scored second in the Conservative Party, behind Donal Tenorio.
