J Andres Chancellor of Defense Election, 2126

The 2126 J Andres Election was held on October 5, 2126 to elect the Chancellor of Defense of J Andres.

Background
2126 was the first re-election for any of the Crown Council positions. The re-elections were staggered every two years, so the Chancellor of Defense faced reelection only two years after being elected in the first place.

Incumbent Chancellor Sarah Baker had a strong two years, increasing defense spending through the acquisition of Chancellor-class sloops and also starting the process for the Queen-class battleship.

Additionally, J Andres found itself in war, engaged in The Ottanian Conflict, which was going relatively well due to the strength of the J Andres supply chain.

She faced Gerald Strong, a military general who had retired and worked for Ares Security. Strong was well respected, but he could not defeat the strength of the incumbency riding the positive wave from the successful war efforts.
