Political Career

Thanks largely to the influence of his grandfather, Xavier was involved in politics from an early age. He grew up in politics working on his grandfather and uncle's campaigns during his teen years. At age 18, he managed his first campaign getting his cousin Bryant Xavier elected to the Jackson Assembly. At age 22, while a senior at the University of South Nashville, he ran successfully for the Jackson Assembly and was elected as a delegate representing part of South Nashville Station.

Four years later, Delegate Bryant Xavier successfully ran for the Senate. John Xavier III was deeply involved in the campaign serving as campaign chairman and senior adviser. Two years later, at age 28, he became the youngest person ever elected Speaker of the Assembly, the chief executive position in the Jackson Region.

At age 33, he was nominated by Senator Bryant Xavier for the Office of Ambassador. While he did not win a majority in the Congressional vote, he achieved the requisite 1/3 and finished second, including winning the votes of all but three members of the Jackson delegation.

In the general election, he faced Senator Daniel Ayansh of Fed Res. Ayansh pointed to his previous experience as Ambassador to Cartesian Praetoria to highlight Xavier's lack of international experience. Xavier responded that he lived for a time in his childhood with his grandfather while he was Ambassador to Cartesian Praetoria. In a hard fought, though relatively clean campaign by today's standards, he won with 53% of the vote. And at age 33, he was sworn into office with his grandfather at his side.
