Electoral Poster for the Campaign

Stark for the Federation is the Presidential campaign spearheaded by former Darek III Federation Council representative Alexander Stark, Mars representative James Mendez as his running mate. Standing on a platform of aggressive expansionism, the Stark for the Federation Campaign focuses on reinviting hope to a lost Federation, returning pride to its citizens, and maintaining security and stability without limiting the Federation to Earth or the Sol System.

It is a campaign which often comes under scrutiny for its hawkish attitude, considered potentially dangerous in this post-war Alpha Quadrant, and tends to alienate both members of the far right who wish to focus all of the Federation's power on Sol, and the far left who want expansion, but in a far less aggressive manner than Stark spearheads. The campaign has, however, found popularity as a compromise, and as an alternative which remains true to the Federation's earliest ideals whilst not being blinded by the threat of the modern universe.

The media have latched onto Stark's campaign with enthusiasm, delighting in analysis, critique, and support from all sides, much as with any other Presidential campaign. Two of the most vocal and popular journalists to tackle Stark as an issue are Maven Santiago and Alexia Janeiro.
