Lillian Clemantis Wolfe (born December 25th, 1980) is the current United States Representative for Florida's First Congressional District.

Biographical

Lillian Wolfe was born as Seong Iseul-yoon to a Zainichi Korean, Seong Jae-sung and Yamada Yukari. None of whom Lilliam remembers. Shortly before the birth of Iseul, her father caught a serious disease. Rather than paying for his healthcare, the Japanese government simply opted to deport him to South Korea. Yukari followed. Jae-sung died three days after entering the Republic of Korea, in his home city of Gwangju. Five months after giving birth to Iseul, Yukari 'disappeared'.

What happened to Iseul is unknown, but she was denied South Korean citizenship due to being an orphan. Japan refused to acknowledge that she was a citizen by claiming that there was no proof that one of her parents was Japanese. As a result, Iseul was rotated between adoption services and orphanages for two years. No Korean OR Japanese family even contemplated adopting Iseul because both Korean and Japanese families viewed her as 'racially impure'. Not to mention adoption is typically anathema in Asia. Although she claims that she remembers nothing during this period, she still maintains a curious simultaneous detestation of both Korea and Japan. This came to an end when an adopter, in an unsuspecting place, was found.

Robert Edward Wolfe and Julia Neale Wolfe, a relatively wealthy family, with extremely long roots in Florida (dating back, as they proudly note, to the Confederacy), adopted Iseul. Robert Wolfe was fifty-eight years ago, and historically a prominent political enemy of the Civil Rights Movement, when he adopted Iseul. He was also proud for noting that the first vote he casted, was for Strom Thurmond in 1948. Being completely unable to pronounce Iseul, and having no actual idea how to pronounce it, he legally changed her name to Lillian Clemantis Wolfe (how he pronounced it).

Robert Wolfe, although fairly prominent for squashing civil rights protests with a heavy hand, became one of the few segregationist politicians to hold onto his political office. Some suspected that his 'renouncement of segregation' seemed more sincere after his adoption of Lillian. She was the only daughter in the Wolfe family, having three older brothers, and one younger brother. However, she quickly became the favorite child by becoming the only child to show a wish to continue in the family career: politics. Partially because of the strong support of her father, she was elected in a rather colorful campaign to the congressional seat that he vacated when he retired. Despite the fact that her father was a Democrat (and proudly an old Dixiecrat), she was elected as a Republican.

Lillian grew relatively tall for someone of her pedigree, growing to a height of 5'8. Although she didn't even enter America until she was over two and a half, she doesn't know a single word of Korean and Japanese, and has a very strong Southern drawl. However she has a tendency of constantly claiming that she is bilingual, speaking both 'English AND American'. Interestingly enough, both of her parents were identical siblings to a parent and wife of two other Congressmen, making her, on a biological level, Andrew Seong's cousin, and William Reynard's niece. She is also a proud member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Family

Robert Wolfe was one of Congress's most infamous members. Born in Pensacola, Florida in 1928, Wolfe illegally joined the USN immediately after graduating high school in the waning months of World War II and was shipped out two weeks before V-J day. Unsurprisingly, he quickly returned. After being discharged in 1948, he volunteered for Strom Thurmond's failed presidential campaign. He returned to Penscacola, working as a policeman. In 1960, he ran for and was elected as a sheriff. He quickly became infamous for using heavy-handed (read: violent) tactics in order to crush civil rights protests. In 1968, he was inspired by George Wallace's campaign for President, and became an ardent supporter. After being incensed at his loss, Wolfe ran for Congressman in 1970 and won by a very small margin against the Republican candidate. He won subsequent elections not because the people of his constituency agreed with his ideals, but that he was able to bring federal funding to his district, winning elections by modest margins, although it being a solidly Conservative district. In 1980, the Democratic Party, angered at his unapologetic views, expelled him. He refused to join the Republican party, mostly citing a disgust for Lincoln, although the Republicans opted not to field a candidate against him. He quickly defeated his Democratic challenger. Although calling himself an 'independent Democrat', Wolfe caucused with the Republican party. In 1983, he decided to adopt a Korean international adoptee. Between 1982 and 1992, he was named 'America's Worst Congressman' by a magazine, because he wrote little legislation, often made politically incorrect (often perceived as racist and bigoted) comments, and was completely unapologetic about his past. He won by modest margins despite his district turning more and more conservative. In 2008, he decided not to run for reelection, and stepped down. Instead, he supported his own daughter to run. And she did. By a small margin.

Past Election Results

United States House of Representatives, Florida's First Congressional, 2008

This was one of the most hotly contested seats in 2008. Unpopular incumbent Robert Edward Wolfe opted not to run again. It seemed very unlikely that an elderly former segregationist politician would win reelection in a nation about to elect its first black president. Not to mention polls found him lagging by a significant margin, coming in third behind Democrat Joe Roberts and Independent James Frost. Lillian Clemantis Wolfe, the adopted daughter of Robert Wolfe stepped up and replaced him on the ballot. Her fathers name proved to be an electoral drag on her campaign. After an extremely colorful campaign, well-known for the outrageous claims uttered by both sides, when the votes were counted, Wolfe had 38.878% of the vote, Robert has 38.871%, and Frost had 22.251% of the vote. Many attribute her victory to the fact that she was able to drive up the turnout rate of her relatives up to 100%.
