J Andres Commune Elections, 2084

The 2084 J Andres Commune Elections were held on October 16, 2084 to elect the 888 senators of the J Andres Commune.

Background
The Grand Mexican War was the primary election topic in 2084, especially the J Andres nuclear program. In February of 2084, the Coalition for Better America decreed that J Andres would suffer annihilation if they did not halt their nuclear program and turn over all weapons by June 30. This ended up being an empty threat and Charlotte Laurent who vehemently opposed ending the nuclear program received all the credit. This led to her easy reelection victory over Labor party candidate Ernest Barnes, Communist party candidate Diego Salamanca, and Nationalist party candidate Tobias Bethesda. Laurent won majorities in four of the six provinces, losing in Danbury and Lanier to Barnes.

In the Commune, the Anchor party held a majority, and build a coalition government with the Nationalist party. The large gains of the Labor party were not a surprise; however, the pickups from the National Liberation Army and the Knights of Cromwell surprised most observers.

Results
The 2084 elections were the first elections contested by the Labor party and the Labor party finished second in direct polling.
