Personal[]
Alejandro Montez was born in Mexico. He later moved to New Mexico where he met Laura Cunningham. The two later got married and had three children. When Laura was elected to the Senate, she frequently would use her husbands heritage to appeal to latin voters, despite the fact that she was raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
In 2016, Laura Montez became Bill O'Brien's running mate in the 2016 presidential election. The election tied, and after gridlock in the House of Representatives, the Senate elected Laura the VP-elect, and because of the presidential vacancy, the de facto president-elect.
