Early Life
Born to a working-class auto manufacturing family; Elizabeth was blessed with cunning wits, high intelligence, and a concern for others that far exceeded her younger brother, Seth. She worked as a seamstress through high school and was accepted to Vassar College in New York. She concentrated her studies in business, political science and Women's Studies. After graduation, she returned to Detroit, where her father gifted her with $10,000 to start up an operation and build on her talents. From 1977 to 1997, she became matriarch of Wellbourne Enterprises; a multi-national company specializing in auto parts, household goods, and most recently biotechnology and e-commerce. Over the 20 years, Wellbourne Enterprises has been responsible for "The Child 'Fro"; "Etch-a-Fret"; Viapropapin for female sexual disfunction; that coffeebook table on famous hallways; 4-sided sofa cusions; Halibut-flavored popsicles; frozen bananas; and, of course "Wrestle-Me-Tinky-Winky." In 1997 she was tapped to replace the outgoing representative of the 12th district and was ushered into the Congressional halls in 1998. Known for her keen economic sense and a growing interest in international relations; Elizabeth stands tall representing her district at 6 foot 1.
Senate Race
In 2004, she ran against incumbent Lord Danworth of Lansing for Senate. She won easily after the media found a clip of Danworth masturbating onto an etch-a-sketch. Sick stuff. But, yes she was ushered into office and quickly got to work. In the first 2 years, she has introduced 8 major initiatives and is busily at work with innovative solutions to our nation's problems.
Heartland Race
In 2013 she was elevated to the position of Heartland Governor, due to Merrlin's appointment as Vice-President.
She was reelected in 2014.
No Re-Election
Governor Wellbourne, Representatives Carter Reynolds, Sam James and Bryant Carter; former Lt. Governor candidate Jiles Scott & Senator Teddy Williams all declared their interest in running for Heartland Governor.
When Wellbourne announced her intentions of not running for re-election unless she didn't support the candidate, Carter Reynolds entered the race, with Bryant Carter, who had been expected to run for Governor, as his running mate. However, Reynolds soon dropped out due to supporting a candidate who had not announced anything yet. The next one was Majority Leader Jiles Scott, who fought with Reynolds for some weeks for the voter's support until the first withdrew.
With Scott as the only candidate, Elizabeth Wellbourne re-entered the race, followed by Congressman James & Bryant Carter.
Finally Senator Teddy Williams, the candidate who Reynolds had withdrawn for, announced his candidancy. Incumbent Wellbourne withdrew, her previous intentions, and Bryant Carter & Jiles Scott announced their support for him.
Sam James then withdrew as all his fellow competitors had done, and Teddy Williams defeated Republican Edgard Portela to become the 4th Governor of the Region.
