Concept

In-Over-His-Head Politician & Dealmaker

Tropes

From California; came over with the California Company in '73/'74
Owns & operates local newspaper/newsletter
Better at getting elected than actually running anything; tends to overreact, make bad calls in the heat of the moment, unless he's "in his element" making deals
Suspects former-mayor Woodes is still running the show behind his back.
After getting elected, his job mostly consists of interfacing with the NY co. on the town's behalf
Has a claim he hasn't sold yet; still goes out to pan and contemplate; collects pretty rocks he finds in the river
Ex-wife, grown kids "back east/west"
