Lauren is a politician!

Lauren had decided the only place for someone as capable and charismatic as her was politics. She'd run for student body president at her college, but that was just the first step on the way. She planned to be the youngest woman on city council, then swing that to mayor. Next a senate seat and then, if she played her cards right, President of the country!

Lauren did cut an attractive figure with her immaculate hair, perfect makeup, suit and tight fitting skirt. Below that she wore stockings and 5 inch heels to help with the unfortunate problem of always being the shortest on the debate stage. But, while she looked the part of a politician, she had no aspirations to help anyone. She was merely striving to gain fame and wealth. She didn't even like people, though no one could guess from her well rehearsed speeches. Everyone knew Lauren, but for every person who voted for her, another hated her!

Which stage of Lauren's political journey do we join her?
