Early life and Family

Jefferson is of English, and Scottish descent, and is a distant cousin to Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States. Jefferson is the oldest of 3 children, who all were born during their Father's term as President of the United States.

Jefferson attended Sidwell Friends School, and later attended Yale University, where he graduated as a law major.

U.S. Supreme Court (2055-2060)
Jefferson was nominated by his Father, and incumbent President Alexander Jefferson on July 29, 2055, and was successfully nominated on September 13, 2055. He was sworn in on September 20, 2055, and served until January 23, 2060. Despite having no former Court experience, he was nominated for the position of Associate Justice following the retirement of William Derrick, who himself was nominated by Alexander Jefferson.

U.S. Senate (2063-2069)
Jefferson was elected to the Senate in 2062, and was inaugurated on January 3, 2063. He was first elected as the Chair of the Republican Conservative Committee, and served as the Chair from 2063 to 2065. He was elected as Majority Whip in 2065, and served until 2067, when he was elected as the RCC chair for the 2nd time.

2068 Presidential campaign
Jefferson ran in a large field of candidates to replace his father and 13-term President, Alexander Jefferson. The field quickly decreased before 2068, and Jefferson was left as the sole candidate for the nomination by 2068. He was the immediate favourite to win both the primary, and the general election, when he announced his intention to run, and continue his father's legacy. Jefferson had only lost California by 19,000 votes, while securing the rest of the electoral college, with the exception of Maine, and Nebraska's proportional delegates, where he had only lost 2 total from both states. He selected 39 year old Senator from Washington, Clint Griffith, as his Vice Presidential candidate.

Inauguration
Jefferson was inaugurated on January 20, 2069, at noon, alongside his Vice President, Clint Griffith, former Senator from Washington.

First 100 Days
Jefferson immediately refunded the Grand American Dream plan that his Father, Alexander Jefferson, had created, following it's defunding under Holden Hardy's 2068 budget. Despite attempting to secure funding for veteran's education grants, and healthcare, he was only able to increase veteran's education grant eligibility, due to lack of support from the Republican Party.
