J Andres Commune Elections, 2060

The 2060 J Andres Commune Elections were held on October 30, 2060 to elect the 870 senators of the J Andres Commune.

Background
After the failed rebellion of Richard Mercton and family, there was a large public backlash against the Nationalist Party. As a result, many successful Nationalist Party politicians refused to run for the office of President. It appeared that Evan McDowell would run the race unopposed; however, former Governor Tim Cooper was urged to run. The Communist Party, pleased with progress over the past four years did not field a candidate.

Results
The 2056 elections saw the Nationalist Party lose most of their influence. In the Commune, the Communist Party maintained control, however, the Nationalist party lost over 100 seats, most of which went to the Anchor Party, riding on the coattails of the popular President Evan McDowell.
