His tenure has only just started and there's not much to comment on

Connecticut State Senate
Gamer was elected to the 4th district of Connecticut’s State Senate, getting appointed after Mary Ann Handley’s retirement, and winning the subsequent election.

United States Senator from Connecticut
Gamer announced his intention to run for Senator of Connecticut in 2016. He delivered the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2016. He won the election in Connecticut in November, but shortly after he was offered the job of Secretary of State under the Davsofar02 Administration, and was confirmed. Thus, he resigned after only a month in office. At 30 days, he had the 5th shortest congressional tenure in US History.

United States Secretary of State
1 month after winning the election in Connecticut, he was asked by President Davsofar02 to be Secretary of State. He was approved by the Senate in February, and became the 69th Secretary of State. ]

His first foreign trip came in Buenos Aires, in March 2017. He met with 25 Foriegn Ministers of various countries to discuss the AFTA. This would also set up a later NAFTO Agreement, which cut most Tariffs on various products in half, which was signed by the previously mentioned foreign ministers.

Gamer later helped write an executive order to recognize the nation of Taiwan as a sovereign country.

During this time he also became Chair of the Democratic Party.

United States Speaker of the House of Representatives
In 2018, he announced his run to become Democratic House Leader. He won the subsequent election, but faced steep competition in the general election. Under his guide, the party won a majority in the House of Representatives, and took back control of a previously Republican held House.



Ideology
Gamer identifies as a liberal, having a range of stances that can be described both as social and conservative liberalism. He has consistently supported market economics, low tax rates, and maintaining a strong social safety net. He has rarely described his political position fully and has shown himself to rarely be beholden to the doctrines of a single ideology, with liberalism mostly being his approach to society and economy as a whole. Position-wise, Gamer currently sits just shy of being center-right. Gamer does maintain a centrist approach, and for his major bills has frequently sought cosponsors from a wide range of MNAs and Senators.

Gamer's ideology is largely pragmatic and technocratic, though his technocratic approach differs from most other technocrats. Gamer's pragmatism stems from how he usually prioritizes party and national advancement instead of personal gain. It is his opinion that ideology rarely survives policy making, so he personally feels governance always requires a strong sense of pragmatism.

Economy
Gamer supports a free market and is inclined towards a balanced budget, though at times he is supportive of minor deficits. He is in favor of tax cuts for all classes and frequently held economically liberal stances. Despite this, he is in support of tax credits for poverty relief and single-payer healthcare, voting consistently in favor of such. It's his belief that economic policy should always seek to balance the needs of both businesses and workers, with him being relatively supportive of unions but being opposed to businesses being run by workers. He is also supportive of pragmatic intervention in markets but is opposed to what he deems excessive intervention.

Immigration
Gamer is a multiculturalist, though he does believe immigrants need to assimilate broadly into American culture. His view is that it's okay for an immigrant to practice the traditions of their country of origin, but they must be able to communicate and understand the customs of the nation.

Social issues
Gamer remains socially progressive. He staunchly supports same-sex marriage and is in favor of transgender rights. He does maintain a relatively conservative stance on drugs, only supporting the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana. He's also tough on crime, believing in a consequentialist approach to laws.

Residence
Gameer owns three houses, all in Connecticut.

Language proficiency
Gamer speaks English.

Clashes and arguments in the Connecticut State Senate
Gamer during his tenure as a state senator had no shortage of clashes with other members of the state senate.

Lack of filter
During his tenure as a state senator, Gamer was famous for rarely having a filter when making statements, notably never having a speechwriter. He was consistently harsh towards left-wing members of the state senate and criticized anti-capitalist movements in the state. A notable event was in a 2013 interview when he was asked if there were flaws in his approach to economic development and he replied with "of course but what would you have me do, go full commie and ruin this city?". He was also equally harsh to far-right protesters saying he doesn't have time to work with "crazies". He would frequently be criticized, and he would respond in a speech in 2015 by saying "anyone can accuse me of anything, but I will never be afraid to speak my mind".
