Childhood & Education
Albert was born in Madrid, to Eugene and Christina. He spent his whole childhood in the United States. His parents had always supported the Democratic parties in both Spain and USA. Being a good student, he soon entered University to study Medicine (1988), although he already had begun his interest in politics.
Political Career
After 4 years of practices in Children's Central Hospital, Sharke decided to leave Medicine behind, beggining his political career. He tried to enter the House of Representatives first in 1992 for California 9th District, and later in 1994 for the 7th District. Losing both elections, Thick then moved to British Columbia (Canada), thinking he may have been too young to enter politics. After 4 years attending politic-related courses on U-Vic (Victoria), Sharke went to Massachusetts to finally become a member of the House of Representatives in 1998 with an incredible 70% support, defeating David Rockefeller Jr.
Back to Spain: Opposition Leader and Minister
Sharke did not seek a reelection in year 2000, moving back to Spain to be appointed Leader of PSOE Party and Leader of Opposition in Congress. However, he decided to support Zapatero as Presidential candidate and resigned. Back in USA, he seeked for a new election House Representative against Independent Congresswomen Leah Martin. After winning, he was reelected again in 2004 and 2006.
However, he decided to finally leave American Politics and join former Vicepresident and new President María F. de la Vega as Minister of Foreign Affairs. After serving two terms, he was drafted as new Presidential Candidate, but withdrew and went back (again) to the United States, where Leah Martin had won 4 consecutive elections.
5th Reelection: Supporting Mason As a "New Democrat"
Sharke finally came back for the last time to USA, winning another reelection for Congressmen (again, against Leah Martin, who however hadn't been in office from 2014 to 2016), just in time to see Republican President Elizabeth Warren's last days in office, and the beggining of Gamble/Dunn v Mason Brockmeier run for Presidency.
Sharke, as many other democrats, released an statement urging citizens to vote for Mason.
Mason & Brockmeier finally became President and Vicepresident elect.
Relationships
Sharke is single. Former Independent Congresswomen Leah Martin, who he run against in many of his attemps to enter the House of Representatives, is actually his current girlfriend. Their relationship is said to have begun in 2004, but they continued running against each other (and Republican James Kirch). They're planning to marry later in 2016. No previous relationships are known.
Children
Sharke has already had 3 children with Leah Martin. Albert III was the first one to come, in 2005, after one year on relationship.
Two years later, Cristina and Leah, named after their mother and grandmother, were born.
In the morning of April 1st 2016, Albert and Leah decided to marry. Later that day, Leah discovered she was pregnant again.
They're waiting for the fourth kid, who will be a boy.
