James Mendez

From FEInfobase

James Mendez is the current representative for Mars on the Federation Council, and running-mate of Alexander Stark in the Stark for the Federation Presidential Campaign. One of the longest-serving members of the Council, and a lifelong politician, Mendez has long been considered to stand at the forefront of political experience. Known for being well-measured and cautious, but strong in his decisive action, Mendez was unflinching in decisions throughout the Borg War which some argue killed the Federation's democracy - and others claim kept humanity alive. But despite this occasional unforgiving image, he is often regarded as kindly, almost fatherly, with a hand which - although tough - is more often than not gentle in its guidance.

As a running-mate of Stark's, he has been often considered the counterpoint to the aggressive expansionism of the campaign's policy, the dove to the Presidential candidate's hawk.
