Short Biography
Early Life
Hethkins was born to a rich family in Uinto, he went to private school and then University in the Federation of Rineu.
The Presidency
Hethkins had set out a manifesto to win the nomination for his party that promised he could cut the nation's taxes by 50% and yet retain all services. This gained him a lot of support very quickly.
The Result
He won the nomination and then the Presidency itself with 50.1% of the vote.
As President
Shortly after Hethkins won the Presidency he made a speech to the nation in which he stated what he promised was impossible. The Parliament, which was Neudegg Treu und Wahr Social Democratic Party controlled, held a special vote to cause another Presidency election. Hethkins stood for the Office again but did not win, only receiving 5.9% of the vote.
After Office
Hethkins spent the rest of his years with his wife in Figgin. To date he has been the only Neudegg Konservativer Party President in history. His Presidency is blamed by the current Neudegg Konservativer Party leader, Tessa Katie Somin as the reason why the Neudegg Konservativer Party cannot gain the vote it wishes to achieve.
